Are you ready to learn about the mad geniuses responsible for one of Super Powered Smash Master’s most notorious anti-heroes? Game designer extraordinaire, Adam Cogan, is here with our next artist spotlight.
Artist Spotlight #7: Ryan Cody
I approached Ryan Cody back in the ancient era of 2005 after I spotted some of his art online. His edgy style and dynamic black and whites were just brilliant, and I immediately realized he’d be perfect for a book I had scripted called VILLAINS.
It was a great collaboration. Right away I was floored not only by his strong work ethic, but by his rapid pace. I could not have asked for a better partner. Thanks to Ryan, we had some amazing successes with VILLAINS, which went on to receive a coveted indie profile in Wizard Magazine, and was later optioned by Universal Studios!
Ryan Cody has worked on many comics over the years, most recently a cool Kickstarter book called DOC UNKNOWN, and his amazing free webcomic FATA OBSTANT, which I invite you to check out immediately. I mean, immediately after you finish reading this blog post. It kicks all kinds of butt, it’s gorgeous, it’s free, and he updates it regularly, and good God man, it’s FREE!
He also has a Patreon page, which is not free, but still a worthy investment for a talented artist who deserves to eat occasionally. If you ever wanted to support the arts, you should start with his arts.
For SPSM, Ryan illustrated one of my favorite heroes: The Quitter! His powers are all based around quitting, and, as you know, quitting can be a really good thing. When the Quitter quits, he makes room for other heroes that you’d much rather have fighting your fights. It’s one of the many nuggets of wisdom your kid will be absorbing in Super Powered Smash Masters!
As always, there are more awesome character designs and card art on the way soon so be sure to follow us on Facebook or sign up for the Newsletter if you haven’t already!
Smash ya’ later!
