In case you haven’t heard yet because live in a cave or because you’ve somehow found a way to completely isolate yourself from all forms of media the movie Black Panther<\/em> is a complete success both critically and financially. In just one month it has grossed $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2018, as well as the 7th highest-grossing film ever in the US and the 19th highest-grossing film of all time world. In fact, in its opening weekend alone, Black Panther made more than DC’s Justice League<\/em> did during its entire theatrical run.<\/p>\n

Right before their Disney Afternoon Animation Tribute exhibition Gallery Nucleus held an Art of Black Panther<\/em> Panel & Book Signing, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the Black Panther<\/em> film as well as a chance to meet and interact with some of the conceptual artists responsible for making Black Panther<\/em> look the way it did.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, due to some prior commitments I was unable to attend the panel, but luckily Gallery Nucleus still had some of the concept pieces on display while I was there for the Disney Afternoon Animation Tribute.<\/p>\n

Looking at some of pieces I really wish I attended the panel so I could have more to write about as well as have more pictures but at least I have something.<\/p>\n

Anyway, enjoy the Black Panther<\/em> art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This piece I’m guessing was the original basis for the movie poster. I really like this one. The inclusion of all the villains and the allies makes a really good contrast. Although the use of both Black Panther masks might be a little confusing and having people jumping to conclusions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

T’Challa in the Black Panther costume with Nakia and Okoye. I really wonder why they made this 1 so dark. You can barely make out the detail on Okoye.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

T’Challa’s Black Panther costume.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tree from Ancestral Plane minus the purple tint that it had in the movies. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Random Black panther pose. I don’t think anything resembling this was in the movie. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Panther vs. Killmonger from the end fight of the movie.<\/p>\n

Here’s a part from the chase scene in South Korea when the Black Panther is riding on top of that Lexus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some artwork of Erik Killmonger’s Black Panther suit. The spots on the suit make him look more like leopard which I guess is the idea but I don’t know why they went that route since in the comic Killmonger was associated with a character named White Tiger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some concept art depicting Michael B. Johnson as Killmonger and looking all badass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zuri in full costume. This is pretty close to what was in the movie. The only difference was that Zuri wore purple instead of red in the film. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
