Most of these show up in the book Avengers: The Art of Marvel's The Avengers
. You can read my review of the book here.Check after the jump for the high-resolution pics and click to enlarge. I've included some quotes from Park describing the images.
"I was fortunate enough to work on The Avengers film from start to finish. This is a poster that connects to 6 other posters depicting the whole Avengers team assembled and ready to battle. I was asked to do the SHIELD portion of the poster along with the Helicarrier in the background (that extends to Hawkeye's poster). The other 6 posters were done by my Visual Development Supervisors, Ryan Meinerding and Charlie Wen."
"One of the many key frames I got to illustrate for The Avengers film. It was dream to work alongside one my all-time heroes, Joss Whedon."
"The Avengers keyframe illustration showing the classic 'heroes misunderstanding confrontation.'"
NOTE: The early designs of Nick Fury included his trademark cigar. These were abandoned by the final film.

Those are really impressive. They could sell the still images framed for a fortune.
ReplyDeleteI know Alex! He does amazing work.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think he can, he doesn't own the rights. But yeah, they are cool.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough Adam. I'm sure Marvel is making a ton from the concept art book too.
