Check out Sean’s art on his Instagram profile<\/a>!\u200b<\/p>\n

Here at BIOWARS, we\u2019re big fans of comic books.<\/p>\n

Aside from making art on our own, we like to keep an eye on other talented artists and discuss comic book art with them.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re very excited to welcome Sean Damien Hill \u2014 an artist behind the latest issues of DC\/Milestone\u2019s Blood Syndicate Season 1 #4 & #5<\/em>!<\/strong> Sean created amazing, expressive pencil art for these issues!<\/p>\n

He also worked with Marvel during 2021\u2019s Black History Month!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uncover the battle raging within. Read the BIOWARS comic book for free!<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Sean, you\u2019ve worked with DC\/Milestone on Blood Syndicate<\/em> \u2013 wow! How did that collaboration come about?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I did a one-page Blue Marvel story with writer Cody Zigler for Marvel Voices: Legacy<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marquis Draper, an editor over at Milestone\/DC comics had seen it, and he contacted me to help out with issue 4 of Blood Syndicate<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was really intimidating honestly.<\/p>\n

I remember reading that book when I was younger with Chris Williams (CrissCross) as the artist.<\/p>\n

Now here I am, helping out on a revamped version of the book with Chris as the series artist. I was crazy nervous because I still love his work and still learn a lot from it.<\/p>\n

2. Tell us a little bit about the project itself, specifically, how much freedom did you have to make the characters your own? Where can we observe your unique touches?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There was a point in this book where I thought, Holly needs a hug or somethin pic.twitter.com\/Jur4jWCG71<\/a><\/p>\n

So, I was trusted probably more than I was ready for, but I didn\u2019t have to design characters too much.<\/p>\n

I was very much trusted to just draw the way I draw, no one wanted me copying anything. They definitely let me have my own voice and style on those books, especially on issue 5.<\/p>\n

3. You also drew Blue Marvel for Marvel in honor of Black History Month in February 2021. And he looks amazing! What did that experience look like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well, I was in the middle of one Luke Cage project with Ho Che Anderson and I got asked if I would do a Blue Marvel page for Marvel Voices.<\/p>\n

Now, Blue Marvel is one of my favorite Marvel characters, so I would\u2019ve bent over backwards to draw that guy for them. It was definitely a bucket list character though; I hope I get to do more with him.<\/p>\n

4. How did you achieve such a fascinating interplay of light and shadows on Blue Marvel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
