Zombie Pages
About a month ago, I tried out for a horror anthology book but it didn't worked out. Since I did some work on it, I thought it'll be interesting to post my process. This 8 pg story was written by William Harms (Impaler & Dead or Alive). I read through the script and layout all the pages.
Not very pretty at this stage. I just need to figure out how to arrange the panels and where to put the word balloons. After that, I start thinking about the characters and how I want to render the art to best fit the story.
Above is a two panel teaser that I whipped up. I tried to do it more painterly but it didn't feel solid enough. But I like the energy of the quick strokes. There's a certain chaos and madness to the line work which I thought would fit the story.
Below are the first two pages. Page one is probably the most finished. I was half way through page two when I got word (from the guy that put the anthology book together) that I didn't get the job.
It was a good experience working with someone else script. In the future, maybe I'll have another opportunity to work with Mr Harms on a different project.

Les Mort 13
There is this 12 inch figure designed by Ashley Wood... Les Mort 13. I really dig the design and the toy looks very pose-able. There's a comic of this character too but I have no idea what the story is about.

Ultraman
When I was a kid, I was not allow to watch Ultraman because it was right at my afternoon nap time. I only caught a few episodes and I always carry that feeling of wanting to see the show. Flash forward to couple of weeks ago at Borders bookstore... I found the season one of Ultraman dvd box for only Five bucks! It was a easy buy. I went back home and watch 5 episode in a role. Well, I can honestly say it's not as cool as I remember it to be. None of the story make any sense and fx doesn't hold up.... still I kinda dig how they put the show together with limited resources. For me, it was a trip down memory lane and I finally able to skip nap time to watch the show.

the Office
This is Michael (Steve Carell) from, "the Office". I really like the show and got all the DVDs. I play them when I'm working on the computer as background noise. When I first saw it... it was so hard to watch (not because it was bad but the situation was so uncomfortable) I had to turn the channel. But I tried again later on and got hooked by the whole Pam, Roy, and Jim plot, that I had to get the box set to catch up. About the quote... you'll have to watch the show to find out. ;)
