Zacharias' Blood Magic

So, I've somewhat recently jumped onboard the comic bandwagon of my friend Benjamin Williams. He and I met at Emerald City Comic Con at the LBGT comic booth, and started talking comics. It was later realized that he was a writer looking for an artist, and I was an artist looking for a project...We swapped email, had coffee, and took off from there.

The story, more or less, is about sexy vampires in a major metropolitan city...lots of sexy, lots of vampires, and fun fun magic that I get to play around with the visual style on. :D Drawing beheadings is gonna be a challenge, but a blast all the same.















This is, essentially, an art sample I showed to Ben when we got coffee, and this is, in part, honing in on the visual style we're going to try to play off of. It took me, I'm not kidding, about a month to finally put in the broken glass in the windows and get the damn thing done...but now it's into the color phase, and that's always a bunch of fun.

















You'll notice that I'm pulling the same magic motif from the Nilam picture I'm working on...I'm really feeling the magic sigils and signs thing for magic casting. Totally dig. I'm contemplating playing with it a little bit in a 3d program to see where I can take the angling and etc. Should proove to be fun.


















All my laundry's folded, I've almost got my WA state driver's license, and I'll have health insurance shortly thereafter, and things with David are great. It's a hectic, but good place in life right now.
