OF MOLES AND OWLS STARTS HERE! The dust may be settling after Daredevil’s climactic collision with Omen, but they don’t call New York the “City That Never Sleeps” for nothing! Just when he could use a break, DAREDEVIL is going to find himself caught in the crossfire as New York’s criminal element threaten to tear each other and the entire city apart in this new story arc in Marvel’s smash hit of the spring from scribe STEPHANIE PHILLIPS and special guest artist FLAVIANO!
Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style!
When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.
But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.
