Adam Hughes | Terry Dodson | Stanley Lau



Adam Hughes is a well known and respected cover artist for DC Comics, Marvel, and Dark Horse. His most memorable work is that of his Wonder Woman covers as well as his Catwomen.


Adam Hughes was not always just a cover artist. Back in the 1980’s he did interior work as well as covers until 1990 when he started to do mainly cover artwork gaining popularity with what is known as “good girl art”. His lines and rendering are reminiscent of Art Nouveau as well as the 50’s pin up illustrations. Adam Hughes continues his work on mainly covers but as of late has done a few interior pieces for Watchmen. (Allison)

Terry Dodson has been a professional since 1993. Not  only did he work for the comic industry on titles such as Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, the X-Men, and Harley Quinn, but for Hasbro Mattel, ESPN, and Hanna-Barbera. He and his wife, Rachel, are a duo as he draws out the scene and she inks it. (About)

Much of Dodson's work is also very Nouveau reminiscent, especially in the hair lines and soft way he colors. His women are strong yet curvy ad he usually likes to accentuate their cheekbones. His lines are always very curved and have a subtle thick to thin quality.

Originating from Hong Kong, Stanley Lau (aka Artgerm) works as an illustrator, designer, and concept artist. His works have graced DC Comics, Marvel, and Capcom. His style is very Eastern influenced with some sprinkles of Western added in. If you've dabbled in online art communities there's a great chance you've seen some of his work, as he's very popular. Currently, Stanley is giving a course in Digital Design & Illustration in Singapore.(Artgerm)
 
Lau's women are usually tall and of athletic build with noticeable makeup such as eye shadow which can be rather rare in others' works. Their hair is flowy and their noses are small and or thin which is a nod to the traditional look of contemporary Eastern art.
