John Constantine and the Zombies

Never blogged this piece before.

I did this for my self because I have a certain amount of affection for the Vertigo character and zombies.  This morning I made the artwork available as a backer exclusive reward for my Midnight Harvest art book Kickstarter project and it went immediately.

More art rewards will be going up for the remaining eleven days of the funding period with people already backing the project getting first crack  at them.

2010 Zombie

Yeah -- I started it on New Years Day, but things just kept getting in the way of scanning and posting it. I have a story in my head from drawing this -- perhaps as a cover for a Halloween one-shot or somesuch. I banged in some really quick-n'-sloppy values, anticipating that I'll do something more with it soon -- inking it or painting it, but developing the environment more regardless.

I like zombies, that's been clear for a while, but I like drawing giants, too. Playing around with their anatomy with my amateur-evolutionist eye towards their anatomy is great fun. It's probably a seed planted with the Giants (like Gnomes) book I was given as a child.

Obviously, my New Year has been pretty hectic so far -- I hope yours has been as enjoyable!

E.M. Gist's Dead of the Day

Found this announcement through Steve Niles' forum. EM Gist is going to draw a zombie a day for three months.

Wow. Wish I thought of something like that!

The scrawl above is a doodle of mine. Follow the link to see Gist's way cooler and gorier zombies!
