This season is based on the Thunderbolts team, which is composed of villains trying to/forced into using their abilities for good, similar to DC’s Suicide Squad. This is my first key art chosen for use by the Marvel SNAP team, based on my pitch for a starting design direction that was approved by the client.
From there, the entire design team worked together to refine the character composition and create a background that would blend well with the character art by Viktor Farro. We came up with a smokey sky and ground covered in rubble, a battlefield befitting the reformed supervillains.

This season coincided with the theatrical release of Marvel Studios ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. I had a lot of fun illustrating the idea of Deadpool’s fourth wall breaking by having him and the other characters exploding through a piece of paper covered in his crayon drawings (which were actually all drawn by me). I included stickers to feature more characters, and the design team wished to add more elements to tie the chaotic concept together, like the coffee ring stain, ketchup & mustard stains, and a paper clip.
This design was made as more of an alternative key art to the one the client preferred, but it was used heavily in their other marketing assets. It was pitched with the idea of doing a Deadpool takeover of the game, which the client liked and evolved into a concept for a new limited-time mode of the game called ‘Deadpool’s Diner’, which also used messy and humorous crayon drawings and scribbles for its branding.

This season is based on a Marvel comics arc where Norman Osborn aka the Green Goblin is given command of S.H.I.E.L.D. and reforms it into a new corrupt organization called H.A.M.M.E.R., which proceeds to replace the Avengers with villains assuming the roles of its former members. Osborn himself takes the mantle of Iron Patriot while Bullseye becomes Hawkeye, Moonstone becomes Ms. Marvel, Daken becomes Wolverine, etc.
After a first round of proposed designs, the client came up with a new direction they liked, which was the idea of a bulletin board covered in photos of this season’s characters, much like a detective’s investigation board, showing connections using pins and red string, except in this case it would be Osborn figuring out his new Avengers lineup. My execution of this concept, which used a hanging lamp to create dim lighting in a hidden room of an abandoned building, was chosen by the client.

This season is based on the Marvel Studios animated series ‘What If…?’, telling episodic tales of alternate universes where characters from other Marvel Studios movies and shows take different, unexpected paths in their stories, and often assume heroic or villainous roles where they didn’t before, based on the new decisions they make or the new circumstances they are placed in.
Having previously watched the show before starting work on the design, I knew the tall, imposing silhouette of the Watcher with his glowing eyes was a prominent image throughout the series. I used art of the Watcher silhouette from a provided card back asset and built a composition with him as the central figure, overseeing the other characters as they shatter the barriers between realities.

This was my proposed key art for the Loki For All Time season, which coincided with the streaming release of season 2 of Marvel Studios ‘Loki’. The client chose another design to use for their key art, but they liked this one as well and wanted to use it for online advertisements.
I had a lot of fun designing the Time Variance Authority recruitment/propaganda posters as well as the variant wanted poster. The background and foreground elements tie the scene together to recreate a corner of the TVA offices.

This was my proposed key art for The Celestials' Finest season, based on Marvel Studios ‘Eternals’. The client chose another key art design to use for this season, but they liked the foreboding look of the central character Arishem. They asked if we could make a similar design to use as homepage headers for their social media sites, which I was happy to design for them.

These are the rest of the proposed key arts I made for past Marvel SNAP seasons. Even though they weren’t chosen for use by the client, I believe they were all strong contenders and are worthy of inclusion in this portfolio entry.
