Travis Mercer
I have been reading comics all of my life but it was not until Scott McDaniel’s run on Nightwing where I began to actually pay attention to the art and the artists. is way of depicting movement and using solid blacks for
lighting got me hooked! I am still influenced by some of the greats that I saw from the 90’s like Jim Lee, Brett Booth, Michael Turner and Todd McFarland.
More recent artists that really inspire me are Jorge Jimenez, Dan ora, Sean Gordan Murphy, Scott Godlewski, Kael Ngu, Bele’n Ortega and many others.
I was trained traditionally and learning how to implement that digitally to find the perfect balance is one of my big artistic goals My Previous work Experience of note: DC Comics- Red Hood: Outlaw Dynamite Comics- Green
