Layout Rough Vs Finished Art.

Let's play a fun game of Layout Rough vs Finished Art.

I.E. what I roughed out to work from vs how the final artwork itself actually turned out in the end, as I feel it's always interesting to compare the two.  

Also, I think this is my first time ever being called upon to draw a Horse and Cart, so hopefully it didn't turn out too bad for my first try.

Crossing No Man's Land.

A brave British WW1 'Tommy' tries to make his way across a hellish Battlefield in this new pin-up.

It's been nice getting to do some more War themed Comic Art again recently. I really did have fun trying to make No Man's Land look as barren and battled-scared as I could.

Nazi Zombie Movies.

Recently been talking to a friend this week about the horror sub-genre that is Nazi Zombie movies, and so I thought I'd post my collection.

I only own a few of these films, to be honest (and one of these films is called Nazi Zombies but only has a single Nazi Zombie in it). But it does seem to be a sub-genre that's getting bigger-and-bigger as the years roll on. Maybe thanks more to modern Video Games. 

Zombies popping up in WW2 themed Comic Books is also a pretty big thing right now with Commando Comics and Sgt Rock both battling the Undead recently.

Faceless Soldier.

A Faceless Soldier running across the Battlefield...

I was listening to this depressing Podcast recently about how now Artists in the coming years (especially new younger artists who are just learning their craft in a digital age) are going to have to more-and-more prove their Artwork is their own and not created using AI software by documenting and posting its creation online to prove it's authentic.

And so with that in mind, here's a quick WIP pic of a bit of WW1 themed Artwork I'm currently working on. Drawn as God intended Comics to be drawn... Just good old Pencil on Bristol Board.

28 Days Later Movies.

All the Rage... All four 28 Days Later movies.

I was gonna say Britain's best Zombie series... But now I think about it, there's so few UK Zombie flicks that ever got any sequels, it's kind of a moot point. Apart from 28 Days Later and the Zombie Diaries, I can't think of any others.

Extra Zombie Nerd points for anyone who can name another?

Cactus Halo.

My Old Man Cactus is just a few flowers short of a full Halo.

Toy Skeleton.

Toy Skeleton in extreme close-up.

Last October I photographed a really massive Skeleton, and now this little bony guy.
