JoeMadArt.com update #54
Back to work!!

Hey guys!

After so many years here is at last an official update!
I won't bother you with any attempt to justify the lack of updates stil let me thanks all of you guys who contacted me directly since the last update in 2021 to encourage me to update the website because they like it and use it.
Please continue I greatly appreciate your kind words! ;)

So let me try to jump back where I stopped...
Obviously 4 years is very long... so what happened? In short, Joe and Airship released the games: The Ruined King and Wayfinder. Also, Joe with the help of Ludo Lullabi released the Battle Chasers comics #10, #11 and #12 (Yes!! 22 years after Battle Chasers #9!) with 3 covers covers done by Joe but no interior page.
Finally just recently Joe also shared 2 new comic covers and annoucned that more will come!
This is just a summary of the main facts but there's a bit more stuff below ;)
I won't cover everything in just one update so here is the plan for that one:

• Joe's covers for GHOST PEPPER and X-Men of Aapocalypse Alpha 1 comics
• Ruined King game concepts by Joe
• Rough "quality notes" taken by Joe during meetings (2021/10/31) ;)
• Exclusive print shipped with the IHazToys Red Monika statue (2021)
• Battle Chasers being adapted into a live action movie!? (2021/12/06)
• My Hero Academia #34 Variant cover by Joe Madureira (Ki-oon edition)
• 1h+ length interview of Joe Madureira by Mark Millar in Millar Time #40

Joe's covers for GHOST PEPPER and X-Men of Aapocalypse Alpha 1 comics

Only 2 months later Joe announced his partnership with MArvel comics as a cover artist for Age of Apocalypse
Here is the official artical on marvel.com: Joe Madureira Returns to Help Usher in the New Era of 'Age of Apocalypse'.
For this first cover Joe's art was proposed in 3 variants:

Joe also teased his next cover that will be revealed anytime soon:

Let me now focus on The Ruined King game concepts by Joe

... and I will keep Wayfinder concepts for the next update ;)
The game was super well received after its release (2021/11/16) and as of today the game is rated "Very Positive" on Steam with more than 10 000 positive reviews! It was the opportunity to discover a few sketches by Joe Madureira:
Note: I also updated the Ruined King key art previously on the website with a new 4k version... or nearly ;)
If you want to see more concept arts, the Airship Syndicate art team shared their work on Artstation, have a look there, there are some tremendous pieces!! You can also watch below some interviews that Joe did for the release:

Battle Chasers being adapted into a live action movie!?

That one surprised everybody but as the hollywoodreporter reported it, it seems that Battle Chasers will be adapted into a live action movie!?. This one was announced a while ago and since then nothing was said but Joe confirmed this last february that the project is "still moving forward!". So fingers crossed!
