Hopefully visiting the US soon.
Whats next for Romano Molenaar on the gaming side of things?
We do the whole 9 yards.
From sketches, storyboarding, to visual effects and 3D modeling, animations and marketing illustrations, everything.
Anything else in the works in the world of comics, aside fromBirds of Prey?
I do occasionally do some cover work for different studios which is very cool.
In your experience/opinion, what video game has the most impressive artwork?
I think that you cannot say, this game has the best art for the game.
It needs to fit the game.
Do you have a preference between the two; do you tend to favor one over the other?
Although it is not all luck of course.
It is plain hard work.Both games and comics have their own charm.
Where in games the player in this case can (not always) make his or her own decision.
Which makes the direction part a little more difficult.
I would prefer comics since I have been drawing them for 16 years now.
But again, making games or game art is also a very cool medium.
You have quite an extensive resume under your belt, includingGrimm Fairy Tales,Detective ComicsandBirds of Prey.
What has been your personal favorite project so far; your precious darling, if you will?
Now that I am there I am already looking around for more.
I would love to do a Superman comic too.
HaHa
I am a huge Image Comics fan.
Youve done work under them in the past, anything coming from them in the future?
At this point there is no plan to work for Image Comics, but you never know.
I mean, aDarknessspecial?
Sure
Who is your favorite comic book character of all time?
If you wanted to send me an autographed copy ofBirds of Prey #0, I wouldnt object.
Not a question, just a fact!
Let me see if I have one here at the studio.
If I do I will send it to you!
A battle royale between The Darkness, Batman and Wolverine sounds like a great new crossover book.
Mr. Molenaar, quick, draw up the concept art!
So, stay tuned!!!
