Jungle Horror.

Just as Spring begins and enjoying the outside starts to become possible again, we here at SLASH-UPS thought we'd do our best to try and remind people of the horrors of the outside world, by doing some 'Jungle' themed horror art as our next pin-ups. Bringing the brutal terror and unforgiving nature of Mother Nature to you in your very homes, as it were.

 

And so with that in mind, please enjoy...

Forage Or Die: Lost in one of the most remote Jungles in all the world, Explorer Amy hunts unsuccessfully for nourishment after her food supply runs out. Now starving and with no other option, she must decided if she's really gonna go 'insectivorous' to survive.

Jun-Ghoul: As the Korean War rages and spreads to the wilderness, Soldiers from both sides find themselves being prey upon by something very old and very wicked. A chalk-faced, demonic, forest Ghoul named 'Jun' who likes to trap and possess his\its victims.

 

We hope everyone is staying safe and looking forward to the Summer this year, and that our Jungle themed offerings bring people a bit of mirth during what has been a rough time for most. Who hasn't daydreamed of running off to the jungle and escaping the chaos this last year?

Again, a massive thank you to Amy Crosby for taking time out to do this new pin-up. It was great fun to return to the character of Explorer Amy and her misadventure out in the wild. Plus finding time to model during a pandemic is differently above-and-beyond the call of duty and very appreciated.

And as always, please feel free to suggest any horror sub-genres you might wanna see us tackle in a future SLASH-UPS pin-up. (Andrew's leaning more towards something Sci-Fi related, while James is flirting with revisiting the Vampire genre.)

Jungle Promo

Since so much of the world is still in Corona Lockdown for now, we thought we'd take the horror outdoors for our next SLASH-UPS pick...

While the Jungle might be one of the most beautiful places on earth, it's also maybe one of the deadliest. Where your place on the food chain can change in a heartbeat, and the rainforest foliage is so thick and lush, they can absorb any scream, no matter how blood curdling.

So to coincide with Vernal Equinox and the start of Spring on Saturday the 20th this month, we're bringing the terror of the Jungle to you next weekend.

 

So grab your Pith Helmets and Rucksacks, folks... Remember to pack plenty of Bug-Spray, as the critters get pretty big out in the wild... Hope the locals are licking their lips because they're all suffering from Cheilitis... And don't go off exploring by yourself under any circumstances... 

It's time to fumble in the Jungle.

Sassy's True Colours.

I thought it would be cruel not to share a finishes look at Sgt Sassy fully coloured. So here's something to brighten your weekend.

I'm pretty happy with the way the burgundy, dark army green outfit and ginger hair all work together in this pin-up.

Some More Sassy.

I thought since I'm mid trying to flesh out Sgt Sassy with some colour at the moment in Clip, I'd just quickly stop and share this work-in-progress pic.   

That... and also just because burgundy berets are cool.

Mr Cleanly.

I've notices in recent weeks and months, I've started cutting my nails more often now. Trying to keep them nice and short so Corona germs can't find their way under them and wait for their chance to attack.

Also after going out shopping or walking, when I get back, after washing my hands, I often like to wash with antibacterial soap around my eyes, nostrils and the sides of my mouth now, so Corona germs can't slowly crawl into my eyes and nose and lay tiny Corona eggs in them (or whatever they do once they're inside you...).

Sgt Sassy.

I'm kind of jumping back-and-forth between projects right now, as I have a lot on my plate. But I thought give a quick update on my forthcoming War Pin-up. 

This Drill Sergeant character doesn't really have a name as he's more of a background character, but I've been calling him Sgt Sassy. Both because of his 'hands-on-hips' attitude, and because I was always a fan of characters with cool 'sergeant' names growing up, like Sgt Slaughter and Sgt Fury.

Sad Times.

You know things are grim when all you wanted for your Birthday was a haircut and you couldn't have one, and legally you're not allowed to find new love for Valentines Day.
