Dave Wilkins’ first encounter with fantasy art was Frazetta’s Death Dealer; that was the first spark. With a steady diet of Marvel Comics, Godzilla movies, and inspiration from iconic artists like Simon Bisley and Frank Miller, the path was set. Working odd jobs over the years, and drawing in his spare time, Dave’s first professional work didn’t come until his late 20’s. Working as a bouncer in Southern California, he took a second job at Kinkos to have access to a computer. After hours and during lunch breaks, he taught himself Photoshop, scanned drawings, and learned to color and render. Opportunity struck when a rep from Midway Entertainment saw Dave’s work up on the monitors. A month later, he was working in the gaming industry. He currently works as an art director in video games. In his “spare time,” he works with DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW, Marvel, Heavy Metal Magazine, Warner Brothers Entertainment, and Capcom.

Ian MacDonald, or “Moose” as he’s known in some circles, was born in eastern Canada in 1988. He’s a graduate of animation, and after having previously worked a brief stint on the My Little Pony television series, now uses his knowledge acquired through that medium to apply to concept design, painting and art direction for licensed products at Sideshow. When not drawing undead creatures or superheroes, Ian spends his time nerding out to video games, movies, and explaining to people in depth why he doesn’t like cheese.
