Concept Art For DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Reveals Alternate Designs For Blade
Some Deadpool & Wolverine concept art has been shared online and the images offer some alternate designs for Wesley Snipe’s Blade.
The first piece comes from concept artist John Staub, and his version is very close to the character's live-action look. He said of the art:
“Approved concept of #blade with the man himself @realwesleysnipes for the #deadpoolandwolverine film. Was super excited to be able to work on help bring back one of the beloved characters.
“The final design ended up being a collaboration with the costume department led by @mayesrubeo and her team. It was a true work of passion to find a good balance between making the look feel familiar to the fans but also updated for the new film .
“Also be sure to check out the amazing work @rodneyimages did for the character. This piece will also be included in the upcoming The Art of Deadpool & Wolverine #marvelstudios #marvel #disney #character #concept”
The other art comes from Rodney Fuentebella and features very different alternate design for Blade. He said on his art:
“Hi y’all. I did an early concept piece of a very awesome character, Blade, in the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie @marvelstudios . I wanted to go for a more worn Blade that has seen and done a lot of things to survive.
“Thanks to @andyparkart for leading the Vis Dev team on this film and all the Marvel Studios people that help make such an awesome film. Go check out @johnstaubart who did the final look of Blade and all the other vis dev pieces. (Art of book is coming soon!!!)”
