I have recently been hired to draw a comic book, which excites me to no end, and which I probably will be talking your ear off about for the rest of the time I'm working on it... and possibly later too.
I love comic books, even though I've been horrible and am back on pretty much every comic I'd like to be reading, and should by all accounts be whipping myself for still having not read Batman RIP. There really is no excuse. Anyway, I love a good graphic novel, and have spent many a time devoting countless hours gobbling up a new story. Some top faves:
Kingdom Come (Favorite),
Transmetropolitan,
Infinite Crisis,
Year One,
Walking Dead,
Dawn (guilty Pleasure),
Astonishing X Men,
Lex Luthor Man of Steel (amazing work of art, telling the story from the side of the villain. If you haven't read it, you should. This is what Superman Returns was missing). Wait, I'm rambling.. back to why I'm writing this.
I also love zombies. Zombie comics, zombie movies and zombie paraphernalia. Hell, who doesn't? You get to see people managing at their best when everyone is at their worst. Not to mention all the zombie fodder and general mayhem. (Side note: 28 Weeks Later has the best cinematic kiss of all time. Hands down. You know the scene). Each story has a different mode of transmission and different level of zombie effects, which is the fun part, and I have to say, I'm really really excited about how the zombie outbreak is spread in this comic. If I weren't working on this, and had heard about just how it is transmitted, I'd be on the freaking newsletter.
So what this is all leading up to is that, Yes, I've been hired by Rachel Mohr (as in someone is actually paying me to do this) to draw a comic book about Zombies. Needles to say, I am beyond happy about this.. possibly even giddy.
And for now on, I will be uploading sketches from my work on the comic
Meet Max. This past week, I've been drawing character sketches for the main characters of the comic. Below are some of the drawing stages for Max and his mother Soli Miracle.
I will be posting more sketches as I go along, and soon there will be a site where you can see the pages as they come as well.
