Masterworks by Dean White : Amazing Spider-Man
Feb 12, 2012


Dean White is according to me one of the best coloring artists in comics today. He truly is a master of color, and his comics stand apart from the others.
Here’s his DeviantArt website: http://deanwhite.deviantart.com/

In 2009, Marvel re-issued its Masterworks collection in paperbacks, more affordable than the hardcover editions, with digitally painted covers by Dean White over legendary artists like Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko.

Below is a comparison between Dean White’s painted versions and the original covers.

 

Selon moi, Dean White est un des meilleurs artistes coloristes dans les comics aujourd’hui. C’est un véritable maître de la couleur, et ses comics ressortent clairement par rapport aux autres.

En 2009, Marvel a republié sa collection de recueils Masterworks en version couvertures souples, à des prix beaucoup plus abordables que les hardcovers, avec des couvertures peintes en numérique par Dean White par dessus les illustrations d’artistes légendaires tels que Jack Kirby et Steve Ditko.

Ci-dessous une comparaison entre les versions en peinture numérique de Dean White et les couvertures originales.
