Fiery Superhero Fan Art

Dave Wilkins Packs His Images with Explosive and Gory Flair

— December 10, 2011 — Art & Design
If I were ever to be made into a cartoon character, I would want Dave Wilkins to illustrate me. Look no further than to his renditions of the cast of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Batman: Arkham City as proof of the San Diego-based artist's amazing ability to make already cool characters look even more badass.

Dave Wilkins is a self-taught digital artist who, after working various odd jobs, is now in high demand from big name clients such as Midway Entertainment and Marvel Comics. I can't say I'm surprised as each one of Wilkins' creations hits your eyes so hard with artistic flair that they're impossible to ignore. He combines fantasy elements with the exaggerated anatomical and facial aesthetics of the comic book world to create his own brand of ridiculously appealing visuals. Simply put, the man can pretty much make anything look awesome.
