Chad’s drawings are beautifully composed, with clean lines and an incredible eye for detail – I really like the comic book sequences wherein the artist draws a large, expansive scene that is layered behind a few close-up panels of conversation or action. It’s a nice way of varying the usual comic book form while still providing an uninterrupted narrative.
Some of Chad’s concept art is particularly interesting, such as in his updated versions of He-Man and Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe series. He is equally skilled with intricate, sci-fi machinery and medieval fantasy aesthetics, sometimes combining the two to great effect.
