ZOMBORG

Here's a quick sketch (2-ish hours) of a Zomborg, something I thought sounded cool. This is just an initial breakdown, I hope to update this post as I work along to tighten up the rendering. I like to work from dark to light, so I'm working on the shadows first then will tackle doing the highlights. I've been trying to expand my digital painting skills and I hope random sketches like this will become more prominent in my blog as I practice more.

"I Killed Jessica Again" Book Cover Illustration

Here's another cover I drew and colored for Stranghouse Books, for an anthology of short stories.

This is based on a story titled 'I Killed Jessica Again' by Kevin Strange, and is about a dead girlfriend who is resurrected by cult zombies in an alternate dimension. That alone made me want to draw this, lol! I drew this digitally in Manga Studio EX 4 and colored in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

This is the tonal sketch I put together for the client to approve. I was told to change the position of her left arm, which I think helps out. It makes for a stronger silhouette of Jessica rising from the reanimating fluid.

Zombie Elvis!

Here's a Zombie illustration I did for a friend. I drew the original with pencil, ink, pen&brush, and Prismacolor markers. I finished it off in Photoshop to add all that digital color goodness, num num num! 

I hope you all enjoy!

Jazmin Mock Up

Here's an example of my recent attempts at drawing digitally using Photoshop. I worked entirely on the computer for this piece, using my Wacom tablet as a digital "brush" to "ink" the image. I also wanted to personally try my hand at lettering on the computer too, using Adobe Illustrator. I've never done this before and I'm happy with the results. I had no plans for this piece, just that I wanted to showcase my character Jazmin, who fights zombies in the far future. It looks like a page from a story, but I just wanted to invoke the mood I'd like to use in a possible full Jazmin story. My next step is to color this using Photoshop...

Pages 2-6 of a story I'm working on. Maybe it's a bad idea to post this? Ink on bristol.
