The Good Son by D.J. Butler

The Good Son by D.J. Butler. This is the cover to the latest e-book by the great and powerful David Butler.

“The Good Son” is the sixth volume of the “Rock Band Fights Evil” saga and I’m happy to say David gave me the opportunity to illustrate the cover to for (Yes I draw more than just zombies).  Do you see the six pack abs on the main character their?  Yep totally a self portrait there.  Minus some…padding.

The “Rock Band Fights Evil” story follows a group of damned men/band members on a gritty quest to reclaim their souls from the forces of hell itself.  It is pulp fiction at it’s finest.

You can find David’s books available for a convenient download and a reasonable price here.

More custom zombie sketch portraits done this week.  I drew these for some super awesome people who had a burning need to see what they would look like as a zombie.  And don’t we all?  Special thanks to them for letting me post about their portraits.

If you would like to see what you would look like as a zombie you can check out my store and I’ll happily sketch you as a zombie as well.

About the Custom zombie sketch portraits

I love making drawing these.  Each custom zombie sketch comes on toned paper and is created with a variety of primacolor pencils and markers.  Each one is of course hand done, and completely original.  You can specify just how much you want to be zombified.  Most people tend to want to be recognizable, however.  Weird I know.

I really need to set up a camera or something and start filming me doing these.  Whenever I am making these at a convention they tend to draw a lot of people interested in watching how I draw them.  Being able to draw and post up some tutorials on youtube would pretty nice.

I’ll do a self portrait soon and see if I can get it up for you all to see.  You may have to put up with seeing me get even more gross and disgusting than I already am, but sadly that’s the price you pay.

State of Decay

by Zombie Carter on September 4, 2012 at 3:00 am
Posted In: Blog, Zombie Games

“State of Decay” may just be my new addiction.  An open world sandbox zombie survival game.  Shut up and take my money DAMN YOU!  Honestly this sounds like a blast and I’ve been hankering for another good zombie game.

Being able to set up your own fortifications and play with your friends.  Why has nobody ever thought of this before?  It’s pretty much every single zombie fanatics wet dream to do this.  Sadly we’re not able to fight zombies in real life so having a gaming substitute is the next best thing.  My only question is how much is “State of Decay” going to cost?  Who am I kidding, I’ll buy it.

Synopsis.

The end is here. Life as you knew it has gone to hell after the mother of all zombie outbreaks. Now you and the few scattered survivors must band together to survive and rebuild in a 3rd-person action game set in a dynamic open world. You choose where to make your stand, designing and fortifying your home base, performing daring raids for food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors with unique talents. The open, sandbox world develops in real-time, shaped by your actions, dynamically generating content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.

State of Decay is an open world zombie-survival game, currently under development at Undead Labs for release on Xbox 360 / Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC.

Custom zombie portraits.  Now you can see what you look like as a zombie… It’s going to happen, you might as well be prepared for it.

These are the same black and white portraits on toned paper that I do for people at conventions.  Yes you can now have one of your very own!!! Hazzah!

I just got done doing a couple of events this weekend and ended up doing so many  custom zombie portraits that my arm practically broke off.  That’s alright.  I really enjoy doing them and I get a kick out of people’s reactions when they see them.

Ordering a custom zombie portraits

It’s pretty simple really.

  1. Order a print off this store
  2. I contact you through e-mail to get a picture of you.
  3. I draw you any way you’d like and send you the print.

Awesome! You now have original custom art to horrify your friends and family. (Secretly they will be filled with envy… envy I say)

Imagine what your mother-in-law will say when she visits your humble abode only to be greeted by happy portraits of your decaying family.  With any luck she will be so horrified by your custom zombie art that she’ll just get back on her broomstick and fly back home.  Your weekend will be saved…. and you’re welcome.

Custom Zombie Drawing1

This zombie portrait  is a friend of mine who let me draw her for one of my warm up drawings.  She was particularly pleased by the zombie cleavage.  I imagine her boyfriend is as well.

Custom Zombie Portraits

This particular zombie drawing is a self portrait by the way.  I know I know, I am a handsome man.   But again sorry ladies… and some of you dudes, but I am a happily married man and our love can never be.  I know I feel your pain.

Cockneys vs. Zombies Redband Trailer

by Zombie Carter on August 14, 2012 at 3:00 am
Posted In: Blog, Zombie Movie News

Cockneys Vs. Zombies looks kinda like “Shaun of the Dead” but more shooting, old people, and weird British swearing. It’s a nice trailer, and this is clearly meant to be a comedy. I do like the old guy with the walker trying to get away from the zombies. That was amusing.

Cockneys Vs. Zombies is something I’ll keep my eye open for. Only one weird thing about this trailer, the Cockney accent. That is not exactly the most intimidating accent I’ve ever heard.

Look, when James Bond roles up gets all “Britishy” (Is that a term) you know he’s a badass and someone’s going to die. But when I listen to a Cockney accent I can’t stop picturing Dickensesque street urchins begging for coins and trying to shine my shoes. Also I’m not entirely sure what some of those British slang terms mean, but If you call me a tart or a muffet I’m just going to laugh at you.

I’m aware that this will probably get me punched in the nose one day and that I’ll deserve it.

Watching “Cockneys Vs. Zombies” has suddenly made me very paranoid of my own accent…..

I’m over it now. I’ve decided that my own humble accent is rugged and super manly. Just listening to my gruff voice has been known to make chest hair spontaneously grow on those within earshot…. Including the ladies.

And with that disturbing image I’m going to bed, because it’s late and I’m getting silly.

Fandemonium Post Con Wrapup

by Zombie Carter on August 9, 2012 at 3:00 am
Posted In: Blog

Fandemonium post con wrapup right here.  Last weekend I was a guest of honor and was nerding it up in Idaho’s fan run convention.  It was pretty dang fun and very successful.  The land of potatoes was kind to me.

Idaho is an interesting state.  As I understand it all residents are required to sacrifice their first born to their dark potato God there…. Something about the blood ensuring a good harvest or something.  My brother-in-law lives there and oddly I’m counting one fewer of his progeny at the same time his garden is suspiciously lush.  Anyway I’m getting distracted.

Here you can see my super awesome booth at the artist alley.  We had a pretty good location with quite a bit of traffic.  The volunteers putting on the convention seemed to me to be very organized.  In fact, from my perspective the con seemed to be very well run.  I was impressed

Fandemonium Convention

I have also never seen so many costume goers at a con before.  I saw more furries, superheros, anime characters, and much much more than I have ever seen before.  Suffice it to say the people watching was second to none.

The guy dressed up like an Imperial At-At cracked me up the most.

Fandemonium Costumes

As I do at most cons I sketched like a madman.  This is the great and powerful D.J. Butler who was right next to us at the con in his most zombiefied state.  I did so many of these my arm nearly broke off.

Fandemonium sketching

All and all Fandemonium was a great con and despite my trembling fear of potato based cultist activity I’m looking forward to going back next year.
