Steve Scott has illustrated such titles as; Batman, X-Men Forever, JLA, Batman Confidential, Marvel Adventures Hulk and many more.  Over his eighteen year career, the publishers  have included, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Image, Dark Horse, London Knight Studios,  Malibu Comics and several independent publishers.

In addition to his work in comics, Steve has worked in TV, Film, and, most recently, video games.  His work for television has been seen on two episodes of the hit TV series Smallville during season six. The work for Smallville was titled "Justice and Doom" for which Steve illustrated on complete episode and was called back to work on the final episode of the series.  In addition,  Steve was called upon by ABC Family's hit series KYLE XY to illustrate a story bridging the gap between seasons one and two.

In films, Steve was selected to draw the only adaptation to the 2008 Oscar winning film Batman the Dark Knight.  His work was overseen and approved by director Christopher Nolan. This artwork was part of the packaging  offered with the Special Blue Ray edition of Batman Begins.  Also, that same year, George Lucas approved Steve to be the artist for Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods. This series, written by Rob Williams, was very popular with Indiana Jones fans all over the world.  Much of the art from the series was purchased by Mr. Lucas himself  and is now part of his permanent collection.

Moving along with the changing face of illustration, Steve's work can be found in the digital market where he has provided graphics for Cognito Comics for their revolutionary, interactive graphic novel  "Operation Ajax".  In video games, he is currently providing work for "The Bane of Yoto" from Leviathan Games.

His most recent work can be found in the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman's, "The Graveyard".   Steve was handpicked to be one of the few illustrators involved with this project.

Week FOUR and FIVE

Journals / Personal
Okay, the third week was amazing. Some great pieces came in.  I'm very honored that time was taken to produce some FANTASTIC color art over my work. Alec Fritz was this weeks winner. Now we are off to week FOUR- FIVE!

I say it this way as I will be running this next one for a two week span. This allows me time to get these three weeks of wonderful color art printed, do the remark and numbering and shipping to these winners that have worked so hard.

For right now, this weeks winner will be shown in the box to the lift as the featured piece. Once I get a link to his deviantart site, I will just add it here.......

Here is how the contest goes. Keep in mind, these pieces are also being seen by my agent at Comic Art House.

As you've probably noticed over the past few weeks I've been posting up new artwork from recent commissions that I have done.  Well, as you've also probably have noticed, these are uncolored.  So to rectify that situation, I am starting a weekly coloring contest.  Each week, a new piece will be posted in my featured art spot here on Deviantart. If you wish to take a stab at it, contact me at my email address and I will send along the high res tiff so that you can take it from there. The best coloring job (fully at my choosing) will win ten full color 11 x 17 prints of the winning entry signed and sketched on by me.  These prints will be numbered 1 of 10 and will be considered the "colorist's edition".  I will NOT sketch on any other version of this print, so this will truly be a unique collectible that will be completely in your hands.  

To be crystal clear,  each colored entry that is submitted must be done so in a high resolution (300 dpi) to my e-mail, stevescottart@yahoo.com as well as posted to Deviant Art with a link to me.  I retain the right to the winning coloring job for the purpose of making prints.  You are also welcome to make prints for any appearances that you make at conventions IF and only IF you win the weekly coloring challenge.  Non-winning entries may use their coloring work for portfolio purposes ONLY.

Any questions, hit me up!

This is going to be  an AMAZING year.

Hey guys,

Well, I should have posted this before now. I will not be attending Dragoncon this year. I will, however, be popping by today (Sunday) and hope to see many of my friends.

I was originally scheduled to attend but due to my failure to get the agreement signed in time, Dragoncon did the right thing and canceled my appearance. No hard feeling on MY end and I hope, not on theirs. Will enjoy being there next year. Everyone needs a little break from me anyway.

I will be attending the first annual Cincinnati Comics Expo on the 18th of September and the NYCC on October 7. Both look to be amazing and I hope to see friends there along with making new ones.

Take care all.

Well, it's been a while since I last updated. I'm planning on being a bit more punctual with these things from now on. I will say that the time gone from here was spent being very busy at the board and at this computer monitor.

   For the last few months I have been working on projects that have had me doing everything from pencils to full on finished colors. Some of these I can mention (Action Boy for Moonstone) and some, I can not ( ).

  Now, in addition to the non-disclosure projects that I have on the table, I am working on an issue of Batman Confidential for DC Comics. It's an amazing story written by James Patrick and will have inks by the incredible Bob Petrecca, who I worked with on "the Power of Green" Green Lantern story.

  Anyway, be on the lookout for more art from this book being shown here and more updates as well. I have already been in touch with "Where Monsters Dwell" live radio show and podcast. We will be on in October to promote this book. Also, I have several new convention announcements to make in the near future.

Keep reaching for the stars everyone.....

Not even sure who this one was for but here are the questions and here are my answers. The unedited version of it all.

Enjoy.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that you recently did a job for Marvel on the X-Men characters.
How did you become the artist of "X-Men Forever"?
-----------------------

  Well, It was for a story arc of the series. Essentially, I had been doing work for the editor Mark Pannicia for some time and it was just a place where he needed me in the schedule. Was excited that he did because this had me getting a chance to work on some of my favorite characters from my childhood and with the writer that was working on those characters then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a favorite X-Men to illustrate, and why?
----------------------------------
Wow! What a really tough one to answer for me. See, I really liked getting to draw Night Crawler and Beast and yet, for me, Cyclops represents the X-Men to me, graphically.

OK,  I have to go with Night Crawler. Of the X-Men I have drawn so far, he would be my favorite.  He has always been written as such an enjoyable guy and he has this great power to materialize and dematerialize at will. How cool is that? Wouldn't we all like to have that power? I would.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How was "X-Men Forever" different than the other X-titles?
---------------------------------------
Well, the only other X title I got to draw was an issue of Exiles. That, too, was written by Chris Claremont and was a lot of fun. I would say that the one thing that really sets X-Men Forever from the rest of the pack is that you have THE X-Men writer on the book scripting. That's like working asking what it was like working with George Lucas on a Star Wars mini series. Other writers may do a fine job but, come on, this is the guy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
How did it feel to draw Wolverine's funeral, and why?
----------------------------------------
  OK, I didn't get to draw this scene but, let me tell you what I did get to do that I found to be a bit of exciting history. In issue 7 (first issue of my arc) I got to draw the first meeting in Marvel history of Nick Fury and Wolverine. This, to me, was the highlight of the issues I got to draw. First of all, I was working from a plot and because of this, I was able to toss in a lot of extra stuff I would normally not have been able to add.  I was given free reign to put some fun stuff in there that only some may pick up on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you portray the Joker in "Batman Dark Knight", and convey all the complexity of that character? Where there any hurdles?
----------------------------------------
No hurdles there at all. It was such an honor to get to work on that adaptation.

  First of all, it was my very first movie adaptation work since drawing comics. I remember as a kid LOVING the movie adaptations that would come out from Marvel. See, back then, once you saw the movie it would take FOREVER before the movie would make it to video. It would actually make it to HBO first and that would take some time. So, for the average geek like me, I could get the movie to read and reread as often as I wanted from the comics adaptation. Ones that I remember the most were Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Conan and Blade Runner.

To have been able to do, even a partial adaptation of such an incredible movie as Batman Dark Knight, was such an amazing honor.  Most importantly to me was that the director of the film, Christopher Nolan, was thrilled with my take on the bank heist scene. Originally, the adaptation I did was just going to be a part of a supplemental offered with the Batman Begins blue ray edition collectors set. Well, he decided to make it it's own stand alone comic once he saw and approved the pages I turned in. I will always be grateful of that and appreciative that he saw that I was treating the sequence as a rhythm. A rhythm that I only broke when we got to the reveal page. Hard to explain in just a few words but it was one of those places where I was able to go past just drawing what needed to be drawn but rather explored a pacing that would allow the reader to experience a reveal in a much better way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you enjoy drawing the Hulk vs Thing in "Marvel Adventures"?
----------------------------------------
...Did I,....OK, this was one of the most exciting things I have been able to do in comics. If there is a "Happy Place" that I want to return to again, it is working on HULK.  The run I did on Marvel Adventures Hulk was just so much fun and the Hulk vs Thing battle was the icing on the cake of what was already a pretty amazing cake. That was a fun ride.

  One of the biggest payoffs to me from that run is that the true Hulk fans still come to me at conventions and thank me for doing right by the character. They could tell that, like them, I had a fondness for the character that went as far back as the early Kirby days.

  My very first comic that I ever read was Incredible Hulk number 200. I love the character and the supporting cast and it was exciting to be able to make whatever mark I could on it's history. Maybe some day soon I can be allowed to return for a ten year run. Now that would be fun!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What's the best thing about working for Marvel? DC Comics?
---------------------------------------
Well, truth be known, it's been an exciting ride working on most all of the projects I've had filling my schedule these days. Sure, I grew up on Marvel and DC ( love so many of those characters) but I have also been able to work on such characters as Indiana Jones for Dark horse and Lucas Films or, most recently, a series of covers of the Phantom for Moonstone. Soon, I am told, I will be working on a run of Buckaroo Banzai covers for the same company.

  You have to understand, before I ever drew my first comic, I have always been a fan of everything from movies, comics to video game. Oh, and not to mention toys. Did I mention that I have just wrapped up two Action Boy stories that are going to be published in a new Captain Action series? I'm just happy to be able to be a part of all of this. I enjoy what I do and always try to give my best because I love what these stories bring to me as much as the fans out there enjoy the entertainment it brings to them. I am one of "them" after all and always will be.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What work have you done with the TV show Smallville? How was that experience? And how did it help you grow as an artist? Or did it?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, not long after my return to comics, I was asked to do work on a story called "Justice and Doom" that was to air during the sixth season of the TV series Smallville. First of all, this was going to be the first time in my career that my work was going to appear on not only national, but international TV. I did some local stuff during the early part of my career but this was going to hit such a bigger market.

First of all, the story work was done by my good friend and college Stephan Nilson, who has since gone on to license more property out to the big screen.  My inks were and additional back up help were from my friends and colleges Nathan Massengill and Kevin Stokes. Both of whom I am currently working with on an official music video for the popular artist AKON. This work on Smallville was the start of what has lead to this video work we are doing now and much more to come from us.

As for it's helping me grow as an artist, every project I take on does a bit of that. What Smallville did was to show everyone out there that I was here and I was here to stay. It was my realization that I can provide work outside of just comics and it all still fit within what I held dear. In these days ahead, we are all going to have to look past the printed page and be prepared to tap the possibilities before us in the digital media. As much as I love the printed page (and I do) the future of entertainment lies before you on the computer flat screen. That is where those of us with the open mind and ability for change will prosper.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell us about your recent Green Lantern gig, and what did entail?
------------------------------------------------------------
    SO MUCH FUN!!!  Of all the DC characters I have drawn, I had never gotten to draw Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. Kyle was GL during the JLA issues I did. This was a dream come true for me. To top it off, I get to draw Solomon Grundy as the combatant of the story. How close can I come at DC to a very "Hulk" like character? I Love drawing  Monsters and this was a blast (jpgs attached). The comic is a joint venture between DC Comics and ConEdison. It's a really good story wrapped around a message about conserving energy and in turn, money. It's just come out and is only available, from what I understand, from the company ConEdison.  As I am a BIG Green Lantern fan, I plan on finding out how I can get more of these  as they are going to be hard to find for most. It was a real thrill to be able to work on this book.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renee of Eva Ink tells us that you are working on a few secret series right now. What CAN you tell us about them?
------------------------------------------------------------
Well, first of those, I have mentioned already and that is the AKON music Video. I will actually be meeting with the artist for a photo reference shoot tomorrow in Atlanta.

As for some of the other projects on my board, I have an amazing story I am working on for writer Mitch Brown that will be featuring my complete pencils, inks and colors for the first time on a complete project. This will be one that I will be proud to promote in, not just American, but European markets, as well. I have an amazing fan base there that I am ever so grateful for and I feel this story is something that will make an incredible mark in Europe.  In the states, it should be a hit but world wide, it should really make a mark.  Look for us to announce more at evaink.com and make sure to be here at the start.

Another amazing project that I am unable to talk much of is an I Pad exclusive that has been in production for some time. I have done both chapter work on this and am the cover artist for the series.

  One thing I can say about this series is that, there isn't another graphic novel at this time that is more reflective of the current political  framework that is taking place with regards to our relationship with Iran. Really, really important work that deals with the last century and now. Wish I can say more.

  Other than this, be on the look out for various material coming out from Moonstone Books. These include covers for The Phantom  Ghost who walks, Buckaroo Banzai and some really exciting stories in an up coming Captain Action series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you like most about working on interiors? Covers?
--------------------------------------------

On interiors, I love being a story teller. Here I am the director, set designer and the cast of the story. I get to not only direct, but act in the story in front of me. How powerful is that? I love it!!!

On covers, I haven't been as active doing covers within mainstream comics as I had been doing the popular Bad girl comics of the black and white era of the nineteen nineties. Oh, Ive done covers for Marvel, DC and Dark Horse I just feel I need to be doing more to keep up with my output from before.

  I will say that I have especially enjoyed doing covers lately in that I am in much more control of the entire finished product. My agent, Renee Witterstatter at Evaink, has been putting me in connections with projects that have allowed me to pencil, ink and color on the covers I have been doing. In addition, I have actually colored one of Michael Golden's covers for Marvels Spiderman 1602.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you could have one super power what would it be and why?
---------------------------------------------------------
Well, to most it would seem that I am a super villain with my choice ,but I would chose either one of two powers. One would be the ability to read minds. The other, the power of invisibility. Either would do.

  Ultimately, I feel that our most important purpose here during our time on earth is to acquire knowledge about ourselves and why we are here. What mysteries are out there that are kept from us behind closed doors? What do those that are actually in power of our governments know?  What secrets really lie within the pyramids? What is the monolith on the Mars Moon of Phobos all about? Are we living on a hollow Earth? This and many more questions I would want to have answered and I feel that either through the two powers I mentioned, I could fallow a trail to the answers. That's the power I would want.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've noticed that you are on the convention circuit more this year, can you tell me what you get out of going to conventions?
--------------------------------------------------------
  I get to meet the people that, like me, love this thing called comics that we all hold so dear. I get to see friends and family from across the country that do what I do. Friends that only get to see one another when traveling to these amazing events that celebrate our passion. I get to remember why I work the long nights and get little sleep. I get to appreciate the amazing people that appreciate me and what I do. I'm very grateful for everyone that I meet and everyone that hands me a copy of a comic to sign that I have been a part of.  That is an honor to me and I am in so much appreciation of everyone that has taken the time to come see ME at these events.  

  I can't speak for all of us that do what we do. I can only speak for me. This, humble, comic book artist, feels nothing but gratitude for everyone that has ever picked up a book that I was a part of. My only hope is that I never let any of you down. That I was true to the story at hand and I delivered it to you as it should have been. That is what would be important to me. That is whats most important, after all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are conventions an important part of the artist arsenal?
----------------------------------------------
Yes. Along with that I would say radio and podcast interviews. Also, interviews like this one. Any chance where people can see the person behind the product. After all, for all of us, we are more than just what we do and it's important that those that fallow us and our work can be made acquainted with who we are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who has been the most influencial person in your career, and why?
----------------------------------------------
Well, I have to say that both early on and now the most influential person has been my friend, Michael Golden. In the early days of my interest in comics, his work stood out above all others and made me realize that this is what I wanted to do for my career.

Now that I have been a working for some time in all of this, he has been someone that I have been able to turn to for advice and feedback. He has been more than an influence. He has been a friend and for that I am grateful. There's been many an hour spent on the phone where the business of commercial illustration has been the number one topic and there is no one I know better than he that would have some wise words to bring to that table.

  Thanks Michael.
---------------------------------------------------------
Any final words of wisdom to aspiring artists?
---------------------------------------
  You poor bastards.  :)

Just out as an exclusive give away from DC Comics and Consolidated Edison.

I really enjoyed working on this short story. GL has always been one of my favorite DC characters and this gave me the chance to make a little mark.

Thanks to all involved!!!

Well, many of you have asked during my many convention appearances over the last few months,about where I would appear for Free Comic Book Day. I mentioned that it would be at ACME Comics in North Carolina. Unfortunately, this has now changed.

I will be, unfortunately, making no appearance this weekend after all.

Most of you that know me understand that I feel all of us, weather we work on our own independent or for Marvel and DC, work equally hard to produce the work we do within this medium of entertainment. When going out of our way to assist a comics shop to help them, help us, promote this medium, I feel all deserve equal treatment. All of us. I am no more important than the person who just produced his or her first comic and they are no more important than me. We are all in the same boat trying to support this art form we dearly love.

  I could go further with all of this to address why I am not going to be in attendance this weekend, but would rather stop here. I will go on to say, however, that I have been so very amazed by the fans I have met in the last two years that, like me, love the medium of comics and have come out of the wood work to support all of us. Truly, I feel blessed to have been a a part of this industry. It's everything I ever wanted, but to have someone approach me at a convention with a hand full of my comics to sign or to buy a page of my original art or a print, etc..etc.. You have no idea what an honor that is for me. To think that someone would take the time to walk up to me at a convention and ask for my signature on not just one, but many of my comics I have been a part of is just....so..humbling.

  Since it looks as though I will now not be a part of FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, I want to leave everyone with this one thought. The world and economy is not what it used to be. Not at all.If there is anything that we can hold on to in these trying times that gives us a sense of comfort, we should hold on to it.  All print media are in desperate times right now and a state of change. We may be seeing the last of the printed book within our decade, not to mention in our lifetime. Today, we make the most of it. Today, we hold on dearly to what we love as we know it is fleeting. Today, we say thanks to those who give our lives comfort by producing the work and those that support us by reading what we produce. Today is our day. All of us.

Thanks to you all,

Steve Scott
