I love the quirky little spooky things you can only pick up in shops at this time of the year.
They were selling like hotcakes, but I manage to bag one of these cool little Coffins before they sold out. They're just made out of crappy balsa wood and so on, but I gave it a good varnishing over the weekend, and I actually think it came up looking pretty neat.
Now all I need to do is to get ahold of a little 5-inch Zombie to live in it.
A flashback to an All Hallows' Eve of the past, with these photos of the 2017 Halloween Horror Art Show I put on with Illustrator James Holcombe in a real life haunted Crypt.
Hands down the best venue I've ever been lucky enough to have my Artwork shown in.
My favourite part of the whole event was when the show was due to open on the weekend, so we had in go in late on the Friday night before and set everything up. Yep, just two guys creeping around a Crypt in the dead of night trying to stay out of the way of the local Ghosts.
And if that isn't exciting enough, you can always play a fun game of spot the poorly applied Tipp-Ex with this frame.
Some are adaptions. A lot are prequels that flesh out the backstory of the characters and events of NOTLD. And some are sequels, often set in later time periods like the 70's and 90's.
I would love to maybe one day own them all, but considering Night Of The Living Dead is in the Public Domain and any publisher can put out a Comic with that title, it seems very unlikely. There must be so many I don't even know of.
Some old school tough and gritty WW2 action.
I really tried to research and get the colours and look right on this Pin-Up. So hopefully I did the Paratrooper Weaponry and Uniform justice. I do think it is an iconic look and design and one of my favourites.
This is maybe the Colour Job I'm most happiest with on any of my Artworks so far. I spent a long time trying to make the trousher look as inchy and rough as I could, and the Muzzel Flash as cool as I could in this Pin-Up.
I also like that the background has a dark smokey foreboding battlefield feel about it.
The Paratrooper look is maybe my favourite British Army look and design of all time, so I was very glad I got to draw it in this shot. Plus I even got to sneak in a Knife wielding Nazi as well and a little bit of a German Tiger Tank.
I also got to do my take on the famous Sten Machine Gun. It's a really tricky firearm to draw, as its design is like no other, but one that looks really cool if you can get it right.
Colour copy to follow soon.
But how did you all celebrate the big day yesterday? Skinny-dipping? Getting high and making out in the Woods? Investigating that strange sound coming from the old abandoned Summer Camp with a flashlight that keeps flickering on-and-off at the worse possible moments?
