Marcelo Matere Artwork for IDW Interconnected Dealer Incentive Covers

Posted on 05-01-2012 at 04:44 AM by Superquad7 under Comics

IDW Transformers artist Marcelo Matere recently updated his deviantArt page with his pencils for the dealer incentive covers of the Transformers: More than Meets the Eye and Transformers: Robots in Disguise books. What is really special about these covers is that they interconnect to reveal a larger image!

He had this to say on his dA page:

"Since IDW showed these covers during their panel at Botcon last weekend, I think there's no problem to show it here!

Do you like Decepticons? Dinobots so here we go!

Interconnected covers pencils for issue #7 of Transformers: More Than Meets the Eyes and Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Those are the incentive covers for the Decepticon and Dinobot month ( July/2012)"

You can view the larger image after the jump!

Also, just a reminder to those of you aspiring artists: several artists who are now working professionally for companies such as IDW and even Hasbro got their start in our very Creative Fan Art Forums here! Be sure to check out the artwork by the many talented artists who frequent our forums, and if you have artwork to share with the fandom, by all means post it up!

Discuss on the Boards!

I love this guys art. He does some of the best work at IDW imo.I met him at Botcon and he's a really humble
guy, like, he doesn't expect you to notice that his work KICKS ASS

That is great artwork

His style has a very classic appearance, but modern details stand out when taking a closer look - the more mechanical hands, for instance.

Fantastic artwork, would love to get a full size, full colour version of that.

Guido has become my fav but Marcelo is right up there too...that's some great art, I'd love to get that poster sized!

Matere, you are so bad guy. I didn't have a plan to purchase RI covers, but now I have to buy those nice covers!

(Now issue #1, #4, and #7 has interconnected covers. Then next turn is issue #10?)

Here is the colored version

Agreed. I met him at Botcon 2010 and got a Fort Max sketch from him. Great guy, very fan-friendly as most of the artists are, with a few exceptions here and there.

I may be in the minority, but I prefer the B&W version. Wish it was available as a lithograph.

How about a link to his Deviant Art page? Why always this useless link to the news page that I just came from? It seems like the original source of news never gets linked to.

Since ya asked nicely

: MTMTE and RID interconneceted Covers 7 pencils by *mmatere on deviantART

Here is a link to his dA page: mmatere on deviantART

The news post states where the source comes from, and you'll find no additional information there than what was posted. The news article does state the original source. As far as things like this, as long as the source is sited someway, it's cool in my book.

The original post here points to the front page for the story since a News Staff person (myself in this case) is reporting.

I hope that answers your concerns

Thanks guys! you all rock! I loved to work on this cover! It's always great to draw our favorite characters!

One clarification, the G1 designs won't be at the books. I did only for the covers

. I'm gonna try to show more stuff here !

See ya!

This picture instantly went up as my desktop wall paper.

My ONLY issue with the artwork (and it's more of a nit-pick) is that the flaws of the G1 designs can actually be seen. Shockwave and Megatron have no forward shoulder movement/joint. They both have the swing-up joint, but nothing allowing their arms to come forward (yet both have one arm that is).
Seems trite, but it's something that stands out for me.
