It’s another month and another chance to try this whole vote for my comic thing for “Top Web Comics.” So I made new incentive art for it. Below is a preview.
Witness it’s awesomeness!…… Witness it.
I’ll be keeping this up throughout the month so if you feel so inclined click the Top Web Comic’s link and vote for me. It’s greatly appreciated.
The makeup for the zombies in “The Walking Dead” continues to impress the crap out of me. Say what you will about the melodrama or poor decision making of the characters, but the zombies always look pretty awesome.
Still, it could use a few more “Zombie Bosses” to liven up the action. Come on, let’s see a “Boomer” or “Smoker” from “Left 4 Dead” show up. That would make my day.
After a painful delay, I’m happy to say that all the Comic Con commissions that I took last weekend are done and will be out in the mail Monday.
If you ordered one from me then, I apologize for the delay. It’s been…. One hell of a busy week.
The important part is they are done and I’ll have them mailed ASAP. (Sigh) that’s a relief.
You want to see a clip of the upcoming Rec 4: Apocalypse? Of course you do. Why wouldn’t you? Spanish zombies going all crazy, an evil looking ship, and a pretty girl. Wrap it up I’m in.
I really enjoy the “Rec” series, yes including the third one in the franchise. I even like the American remake, “Quarantine.” Though let’s be honest “Quarantine 2″ was less than awesome. But I’m wondering off topic. I’m looking forward to the Rec series continuing the story though judging how the first movie ended I have no idea how they are going to continue the story in Rec 4: Apocalypse.
Manuela Angela Vidal, played once again by Manuela Velasco, returns as the protagonist in Rec 4: Apocalypse. Jaume Balagueró solo directs the pic this time out in which, “Angela Vidal the young television reporter who entered the building with the fireman, manages to make it out alive. But what the soldiers don’t know is that she carries the seed of the strange infection.”
This was also kind of interesting.
Carter Reid at Salt Lake Comic Con! Hey that’s me! What are you waiting for then? Come Stalk me!
Yes, If you are looking for an opportunity to stalk me, and I’m sure that you are, then your chance has finally come in.
I’ll be at Utah’s Salt Lake Comic Con this September 5th through 7th at the Salt Palace Convention Center. You can come stalk me there and I won’t be able to run away!
We’ll be able to stare longingly into each others eyes, you can tell me all about your thirty two cats, and how you collect human beings and keep them in giant jars in your basement. Oh the fun we’ll have! Hey does this smell like chloroform to you? Yes… Yes it does.
Holy cow I’m a handsome man! Check out my rugged five o’clock shadow and super masculine jawline. And those soulful eyes…. nope, no trace of insanity there!
Seriously though, come see me at Salt Lake Comic Con. I’ll happily draw your picture as a zombie, we’ll talk about the positive aspects of the undead, possibly we’ll even have time to braid each others hair. It’ll be a good time.
I’ll be in the artist alley doing my best to give the illusion of competence and respectability. Feel free to stop by and give me your opinion of how well I’m doing at that.
(Caution though if you tell me that I suck you will be treated to the rare sight of a thirty-eight year old man/child curling up in the fetal position and weeping at an astonishingly high decibel level… You have been warned.)
Steampunk Zombies from Steamfest. I was at Steamfest a few weeks ago where I took commissions to do people’s portraits. It’s something that I like to do and people get a kick out of watching me draw. Sometimes I even do drawing demonstration panels at the conventions. I was able to do one of those on the first day of Steamfest.
Steampunk conventions are fun because people dress up in costume and then I get to draw them as a Steampunk zombies. It’s awesome, but at the end of the con I had to tell anyone who wanted to be zombified that I would have to mail their picture to them as I was just out of time.
No problem right? Sure, if your eight year old daughter doesn’t swipe the notebook that has everyone’s mailing address in them. I have been frantically looking for this notebook since the con and I finally found it.
The end result is that I finally sent the last of my commisions out and now I can breath a sigh of relief that people aren’t going to kick my butt for not delivering their steampunk zombies. However, I liked how they turned out so I’m posting them up to show off a bit.
If you would like a zombie portrait of your own, you can just click the store or this link here and I’m happy to help.
In case you were wondering all of these zombie commissions are done on toned paper using Prismacolor pencils. I like using Prismacolor vs anything else as they blend better and the don’t really smudge with casual handling. Finally I do the really hot highlights with white sharpie markers. It’s all very archival and will probably outlast your great great grandchildren.
Cool Dead Rising 3 Trailer. This doesn’t show even a lick of gameplay from the upcoming zombie survival horror game, but honestly I could care less. That is one heck of a CGI short. Honestly why do these people bother making games. They should just make feature length CGI movies.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to Dead Rising 3 as much as the next zombie obsessed nerd, but dang. You’ve got to check this out. This “Trailer” for Dead Rising 3 is worth your precious eyeball time whether you are into video games or not.
Swiped some details from Wikipedia on the game.
P
layers control new protagonist Nick Ramos, searching for supplies and crafting weapons while traveling around the city of Los Perdidos in order to fight the undead and complete missions. Dead Rising 3 is set in a vast, open world environment which is reportedly larger than the worlds of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 combined. Players retain the ability to modify weaponry from Dead Rising 2, but without the need for a workbench, and will be able to discover and unlock blueprints for new items. Unlike the first two games in the series, Dead Rising 3 does not feature a time limit. Players will also be allowed to save their progress anywhere, as opposed to limiting saves to bathrooms. The game will include a “Nightmare Mode” for those who prefer the traditional timer. According to Capcom, the game will not have load times. Driving vehicles will be “a critical part of exploration” as players traverse Los Perdidos and scavenge for items.
Dead Rising 3 is scheduled for release in November 2013 on the Xbox One. Xbox One? Ah damnit. That may mean I’m out of luck for a while. I’m not exactly itching to run out and buy an Xbox One when they come out. Not with Microsoft being such creepy control freaks with their hardware.
I love my Xbox, I really do, but I’ll have to see some game play footage of Dead Rising 3 before it temps me into that kind of commitment. I hate exclusive titles on games.
