The pumped up work of Jon Sommariva graces the front page for this week's Art Attack Friday. A straight-forward comic artist at heart, Sommariva (aka *Red-J on
DeviantArt) conveys his characters in the guise of wide-eyed, rough-cut, ready to rumble cartoons. With solid lines and action packed poses, his talent and creativity manages to translate any game character into its bad ass comic book equivalent.
One of the neater aspects of
Sommariva's gallery on DeviantArt are the preparatory sketches of his work paired alongside the finalized colored renditions, revealing to the viewer the drastic difference between well conveyed linework and a finished piece. While it appears as though he takes quite a few commissions in his body of work, it's a pleasure to know that he continues to express his personal gaming enthusiasm with his talent as there are plenty of folk around these parts who certainly appreciate it.

Also, kotaku has your t-shirt. Kick 'em in the teeth for late post.
Oh the bygone days of USA network cartoons...
where are they all looking? It's like they're all blind and don't really know about their eyes. ._.
Win.
thanks for shareing! glad to see moe of his stuff.
I would pay good money to see that fight. xD
My fav is how he drew Link
The one with Batman, MegaMan, Wolverine, Hellboy, and that green guy is good. The Solid Snake and Barret ones are alright. But I don't like the others, really.
Yeah, I'm a the Maxx fan also.
I remember back when it was on MTV's Oddities along with Aeon Flux, and the Head. I only about a year ago got into the comic book.
Not that it's a bad thing. My shit is constantly compared to other people's work, and I'm not even that great an artist. This dude has talent that I could only dream of.
