Back in the old Compuserve/AOL days, I chatted with someone who worked at Wildstorm (a known name). They said Travis would sometimes just draw whatever the fuck he wanted (ignoring the script) and the shit was so good, they would just have to re-write it to accomodate the drawings. Wild shit.
And someone like Ellis would've shit canned him immediately for it.
Gotta look at Spacegirl. It's his most unfiltered work
Travis is my hero. He really inspired me to up my game and keep pushing the boundaries.
Mark Millar did an interview with Travis Charest not too long ago on his own YT channel. It's worth a watch and gives a lot of background to an otherwise shy artist.
It's a shame that the Lobdell/Charest Wildcats run fell apart because they were so beautiful when Travis was drawing. But as a silver lining, at least they gave way to the Joe Casey/Sean Phillips post-superhero stories and then the Casey/Dustin Nguyen corporation as superhero Wildcats 3.0, which are some of the best comics of the early 2000s in my opinion.
A great review of Travis Charest's work for WildC.A.T.s!! I feel that his work is often overlooked!! Thanks!!
Travis Charest’s fusion of hyperrealism and science fiction, compared to his peers, feels natural. His pencil work may be dated, yet the sleekness of his designs retains a sense of timelessness you wouldn’t expect from Wildcats! I’m surprised you said he dropped Rapidograph inks after his X-Men book. He has continued using and improving that technique.
Awesome vid. Travis Charest's art was a huge influence for my work. Im not entirely sure but I do believe I read an interview where he explains his cover process using watercolor pencils.
You should look at his SpaceGirl comic strip series... which is beautiful...
He also did the Shi/Grifter crossover and an Alan Moore penned piece in WildCATs 50.
I absolutely loved Wildcats #2.... you totally missed the part where Voodoo is holding a gun and she has 2 right hands. the page where she says Eat $#!+ and die. Lol.
Charest is the best!!! I love his work
Travest Charest and Lienil Yu were sort of like the next evolution of Jim Lee's style to me- they have such a great style of hatching and contour
One of my favs. Awesome seeing the dramatic evolution of his style.
loved this..subscribed, thank you!
21:45 I think they are boxers shoes , most of them are no heel shoes
...starts out with the Jim Lee school of figure drawing, and (bizarrely) winds up drawing Adam Hughes' women as his style matures?
After the Metabarons story but before the Ambassadors issue Charest did a few pages in a Marvel recap issue called the Ultimates Saga. Did maybe 4 or 6 pages in that. Afterwards he stuck to illustrating covers, mostly for Dark Horse Star Wars and some Marvel titles. Also published 4 sketchbooks and one collection of Space Girl in the mid 2000s.
Fun looking back at Charest and Homage / Wildstorm books.
'Rocket Girl' is actually called 'Space Girl'
An artist edition of wildcats x-men would sell a millon copies.
I think he use air brush later on with the metabarons
One thing i remender from reading volume 2 was Scott Jobdell complaining that charest would go totally off script drawing what he felt like, like the whole tank transforming into a mech from issue 1 was all Travis. This is all according to the introductions of the Italian magazines reprinting those issue back in the late 90s so maybe it's all bullshit
I've seen some of current charest work for covers and that issue for Millar and I don't love his current style, it has lost a lot of the European vibe that initially made me a fan
Id like to hear what Ed has to say on Spacegirl
Travis Charest style is havely influenced by the late Juan Gimenez Lopez.
His new style is nice....but substantially different from his older work. To me, it kooks hollow, with photo realism in place of energy. It now looks a lot like UK artist Arthur Ranson.
He is a great artist, but the blacks and the digital gradients really detracts from it.
Didn’t like the Metaborne stuff. Too..flat
