Awesome! I would love to see more like this about the art of video games.

Darksiders doesn't have a very original art style but it's still cool. Cool article for sure though.

Awesome. This guy's artwork is amazing and is the main thing that got me into the original Darksiders. I'm definitely gonna start checking out his artwork more often.

EDIT: Wow, hiring Ben Hanson was probably one of the best decisions GI has made. I've enjoyed all of the video features that have been available for cover story games since he was hired. Good job, Ben!

I wish Joe Mad would still keep drawing comics like his short-lived "Battle Chasers" and other books before he went into working on video games, but I guess this will do for now. I really do enjoy his artwork and I hope to see more of it in the future.

It's amazing to see these artists in action. Thanks for posting this, because these things are very inspirational!

I prefer rogue characters in RPGs, too, so that was cool to hear his preference :D

What I would give to be a comic/gamer designer...it's really too bad majoring in art is more likely to make you an out of work starving artist than a comic book or gamer artist, other wise i'd major in Art

Very insightful! I really like when we get to see behind the scenes of a work in progress. Awesome art!

***, this guy's good.  I mean, ***.

That was a pretty cool interview with him. I like how he went from one field to another based on what was available to him but how he still misses and enjoys aspects of both fields. I can imagine missing drawing comics if you spent your entire childhood drawing superheroes.

Also, it makes perfect sense to me that he hates his earlier work. That seems to be very typical with many artists. I can't bear to even look at some of my original work or sketches, every time I do I feel the need to redo them at my current skill level, like it's a huge mistake I need to fix or something. It's still good to keep the old stuff around though as a record of progress.

Any chance that this artwork (or any other Darksiders artwork) will be won by any of us? Would be really cool to have it on the wall.

I always like watching these type of videos on youtube cause its so cool too watch talented artists draw something amazing in a short amount of time.....This guy is talentedddd

Duuuuuuuuude....Haha, the way he talks cracks me up.

Great video! Joe Mad is an awesome artist. His Uncanny X-men issues blew me away back in the day.

I love his art in Ultimates 3

I really enjoyed Joe's Artwork with the xmen comics. Dont be so hard on urself Joe, u did an amazing job! Keep up the awesome work and cant wait for DS2!

Joe Mad and Sam Didier, two of my favorite artists in the gaming industry.

My favorite artist in comics, next to Jim Lee and Leinil Francis Yu. Dude's work is awesome.

I really love these drawings. **BRAAAHHHH** I love all of the Darksiders artwork :)

Inspirational for somone like me who puts all his time into stuff like this.

very cool. also, that sketch didn't seem like it took him too long but it was really good! I want it!
