Marko Djurdjević (born January 23, 1979) is a German illustrator and concept artist of Serbian descent, best known for his character designs.
He works for Marvel Comics, and has produced a large body of cover art, as well as promotional designs, character concepts, and interior artwork.
He rejected the comic style of drawing a couple of years later, citing it as "too stylized" and "exaggerated", which was contrary to his training early on.
Djurdjević continued working in Germany as an illustrator for the next few years, building upon his personal style, which took on an almost sketch-like quality while retaining anatomical accuracy.
Djurdjević was offered a position in the group as a senior concept artist, focusing on human character and creature design.
During this time, the conceptart.org community leaders and professional instructors held workshops in various locations, intending to teach fledgling artists directly.
The characters were eventually discovered by an editor working at Marvel Comics, and they contacted Djurdjević and offered him an exclusive contract to produce illustrations for some of their title's covers.
