Zombie girl Drawing done in Manga Studio. I’m still working on switching over from drawing everything in Illustrator to that new program. This was a test illustration.
Also I’ve been stuck doing family nonsense every night for a week and haven’t been able to get into my office to do a comic so I decided to post this.
I’ve got a bunch more of these zombie drawings… Yes plenty of zombie girl drawings that I’ll be posting up in the future.
What can I tell ya? I’m a guy, and I like zombies. Drawing zombie girls is sort of an inevitable result of these two things.
“From Beyond The Beyond” genuinely made me laugh. I’m a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan and his short story “From Beyond”, written in 1920, published June 1934 in The Fantasy Fan, is one of my favorite stories.
I loved the idea that different horrific realities and creatures were all around us but we lacked the senses needed to perceive them. That and stories about unstable mad scientists are always kind of cool.
So this parody really worked for me and is worthy of the signal boost.
Youtube Description: Based on ‘From Beyond’ by H.P. Lovecraft. Written, directed and performed by Chris Lackey (http://hppodcraft.com/) and Greig Johnson (https://www.facebook.com/greigjohnson…).
The beauty of this parody is that in the original story the mad scientist Crawford Tillinghast is all bent out of shape at his critics, particularly the narator played here by Chris Lackey. Crawford is particularly mad at the narrator for not supporting him as a scientist and saying he was too “sensitive” for such work. So in this video when Chris Lackey’s character doesn’t take Tillinghast seriously at all it’s particularly amusing.
I choose to believe that what Lovecraft really meant was Crawford was a nutjob. The narrator is absolutely correct in this as in the short story Tillinghast’s goal is to actually lure the narrator to his home to trap and kill him with his resonator.
Well specifically to expose him to the resonator and the weird creatures will end up disintegrating him. In the end it’s Crawford who gets killed and the narrator escapes the home. Sorry for the spoilers, but the story is almost a hundred years old.
From Beyond the film.
Believe it or not this parody of “From Beyond” is actually far more faithful to the original H.P. Lovecraft story than the 1986 film staring Jeffrey Combs. That movie, while entertaining, had a lot more kinky weirdness in it than H.P. Lovecraft ever put in his stories. Also the weird brain eating in that movie made no sense what so ever.
I’m assuming that was to add to the shock value.
How dare you say I’m too nutty to be a scientist! Is this the face of a crazy person? Come on!
Remember that scene in “The Walking Dead” when they cover themselves in Zombie Guts to hide from the zombies and it works? Were you like me and wondered out loud, WHY THE HELL DON’T YOU A-HOLES DO THAT EVERYDAY?!
Come on! They found a way to get around the zombies, just roll around in zombie goo for a while and you’re good to go. But they rarely do.
My theory is that in The Walking Dead universe the same virus that animates the dead also seems to short circuit the part of the brain that’s in charge of common sense.
Oh well! With Death Cologne your problems are solved. In fact this is even better. Why cover yourself in guts, germs, and dirty filthy goo when you can just smell like you did.
Apocalypse over! We did it! Humanity saved!
It would make the show a bit more boring of course. UNLESS!… it was filmed in smellovision.
That was a real thing once kids, ask your parents.
So I’ve had back to back conventions… Then the flu and bronkitis. That’s hell on the comic and my output. Don’t worry I “almost” a healthy human being now and will start with the newest story arc for the comic on Friday. In the meantime. Here’s some pictures of the nonsense I get up too.
This is the “Are You Zombie Ready” panel I was on at FanX. Holy cow if I had a nickle for every time I advocated wholesale murder and cannibalism during the zombie apocalypse I could quit my day job. After this panel no less than three people told on me to my wife that my “Zombie Plan” was to kill all the men and acquire as many potential mates as would fit in my zombie fortress.
The Jokes on them however, as she was already well aware of my plans.
That weird dude at the bottom….. Yeah that’s me.
I do a lot of custom sketch work for people at conventions. Below are a few of my favorites from the FanX 2016 weekend. My personal favorite is the zombified sketch of Brigham Young. I live in Utah and I’m honestly surprised I don’t get this request as often as I should.
