I was pleased with the final rendering on this pinup- the inks really brought out the gore and anatomy across the bodily destruction I heaped on this poor lout!
Of special interest was bloodstained cloth effect I got with stippling and the organic looks with the contouring on the torn face and entrails. The blood effect on the spear tip also turned out really well.
However, no more chainmail, for the love of god!
Keep an eye out for this piece from FUBAR PRESS!
So my very cool friend I met at NYCC 2012, Jeff McComsey is one of the leaders of a small press outfit that makes comics about the Zombie World Wars, alternative cool history stuff with loads of violence. This company is called FUBAR PRESS , and we talked for a long time about me making a pinup for them- well that time is now!
They are doing a book about Medieval Zombie warfare, so that was my task to complete- so this is the process of my research into a 3rd Crusade (1189–1192) Christian Knight, and the anatomy I pulled on the large and small intestines. My goal was to really have some large scale physical damage. This included an impalement, torn off face, distended ripped in half jaw and a full disembowelment- along with historically accurate gear and clothing. I think I am on the right path! Enjoy the carnage, inks coming soon!
I’ll post links to get the comic this will appear in when I have more information!
