The Art Of The Booty.

I seem to be drawing a lot of female bottoms lately in my artwork… First there was Catch Of The Day last month, and now this above panel. When did I start turning into Paolo Serpieri?

Be sure to tune into Babayka-Lives to catch the latest update tomorrow. Who knows? There may even be another sexy bottom shot coming your way this Saturday in this week’s instalment (Spoiler Alert… there isn’t.)

Support Via Shout Outs.

We’re now officially, as of today’s update, 12 instalments into Book 2: Babayka Land. During the last few months, we’ve seen a female, Canadian, hockey player met a grisly end after a failed attempt to flee Babayka’s lair. Met the three main antagonists of our story. Had some spooky Babayka lore around the camp fire. And even finally got the name of the remote, abandoned village in Russia where Babayka-Lives takes place. Needless to say… I hope readers feel Book 2 has gotten off to a rocking start. Plus no spoilers, but there’s also the Summer break epic cliffhanger for people to look forward to. Let’s just say I plan to start this summer with bang.

If you have been impress by and enjoying these opening scenes of Babayka Land, though, and have read and enjoyed Book 1: Brides Of Babayka, please do consider maybe giving Babayka-Lives a shout out (no matter how large or small). Even if it’s as little as a name drop when someone next asks you what you’re currently reading, to something bigger like taking to the net and giving this webcomic a virtual thumbs-up and shout out via blogs, journals, twitter, facebook pages or however you express yourself online. After two years and 114 updates, I’m still getting return readers tuning in every week, so there must be people out there getting something from this web-series.

Shout outs (both online and in the real world), feedback and reviews are a great way to support Babayka-Lives, and really do help. If you have been enjoying this comic over the last couple of years, please do consider showing it some love. A massive thanks to any and all that do or have done before.

Babayka-Lives is updated every Saturday, and as always can be found at Babayka-Lives.com

Catch Of The Day: Coloured.

For those that like their inbred, hillbilly cannibals in colour, here’s ‘Catch Of The Day’ coloured.

I don’t often get as much of a chance to flex my creative-muscle when it comes to colouring my artwork as I’d like, but I just couldn’t resist with this pin-up. This image is a mix of watching too many 80’s slasher movies as a kid, as well as a bit of a throwback to the old 50’s EC comics era, and I wanted to reflect that in the colours. As a nod to old horror comics, if you zoom in, you’ll see I’ve started experimenting with using colour halftones in this pin-up. I didn’t want to overuse them, and make the colour job seem gimmicky, but they’re there if you look for them. I also like that with colour, you’re a lot more aware that this scene is going down outside in the woods at night than maybe before.

I forgot to mention last time, I kind of see this pin-up as my take on the classic ‘Monster Carry’ scene from older horror movies. The giant, scary creature, creeping through the night, with a beautiful damsel in his arms (or in this case, over his shoulder.) Only here, hopefully more updated.

I am actually trying to develop this scene and character a little farther… you’ll be happy to know the monster in this pin-up now has a name, and even a nickname. I very much would like to draw this character again.

Ghost On Ghost Action.

At first I wasn’t sure if this Grudge vs. Ringu trailer was real or just some parody, but I think it’s official.

I have mix feelings about this film. On one hand I never thought we’d see a J-Horror ‘vs.’ movie. On the other hand, it’s been so long since anyone put out a monsters ‘vs.’ film, I’m kind of up for it.

More Lore.

It’s time for more Babayka back-story around the campfire this Saturday, as we dig deeper into what happened when Krayvengrad’s most notorious resident came to stay.

Check out the action at: Babayka-Lives.com

While it’s hard to tell sometimes, I get the feeling readers have been enjoying these current lore heavy instalments. People like a good monster back-story, I reckon. If you’re a long term reader, it’s nice to get some answers to things that were hinted at from earlier on in the series.

Lore Galore.

Since we’re moving into the second story-arc of Babayka-Lives now, it’s time I started ‘Laying Down The Lore’, as it were. Filling in some of the blanks left over from Brides Of Babayka. I think readers will pick up pretty quickly why Book Two is called ‘Babayka Land‘.

Hear the ‘Lore Of The Land’ of Krayvengrad this Saturday at Babayka-Lives.com

Thought Of The Day.

I don’t usually post MEMES, but I have to confess, I like this one. It gets you thinking.
