Zombies!

Will explain in an hour or two.  I have to run to class

Four and a half hours later: Okay, here is the story.  A few weeks ago Alton got this sweet zombie board game.  The point of the game is to either kill 25 zombies in one life, which is like impossible, or be the first to get to  the heli-pad first.  Alton played with some guys in his hall and it took a few hours for anyone to win.  The nice thing about the game is that you can hop in or out of it whenever you'd like.  So last weekend I was busy but they were playing this game, so I went to give it a try.

They had been playing for an hour and the heli-pad hadn't been laid down yet.  I jumped in to play a few turns.  After my first turn the heli-pad was put down and Alton make a rush for it.  He shot himself with an adrenaline shot and used his chain saw.  He didn't get past any zombies and died.  It was my turn next and I had a car, so I drove to the heli-pad, killing 7 zombies (the high for the game) and got to the heli-pad and won. 

The game is pretty sweet and was the inspiration for today's strip.

zombies and demons

Here is a sketch dump for all of you loyal readers.  We were talking about sin and death in my Book of Mormon class this week so I drew some zombies.  I like zombies.  I was going to do a zombie comic in high school but it never happened.  There was a friend of mine who loved writing ideas and stories for comics, but he couldn't do the drawing himself.  He had this plan to hire several artists to illustrate different character's struggle through a zombie infected world.  Ultimately all of the different characters would meet up and make a survival group.  He shared with me the ending of the story and it completely blew my mind.  I was either going to draw the inmate's story or a trumpet player's story.  Unfortunately, the project never got off the ground.  But I would still love to draw a zombie comic!

For whatever reason I always draw gargoyles in my art history class.  Last semester we ended with the Gothic era so it may spring from there.  I like the skinny one perched on the skull. 

In my 2D design class we talked about how a few months ago Marvel killed off the Human Torch.  Instead of just rolling with three members of the Fantastic Four they added Spider-man as their fourth member and are called the Future Foundation now.  They all have new suits, click me to see.  At first I wasn't okay with Marvel doing this.  But now I think this is a good thing.  It is about time for some new heroes and new stories.  My only problem is Spider-man still wears his mask.  All of the other members of the Fantastic Four don't have secret identities, so Parker looks out of place with a mask on.  I understand he needs to protect his identity so his family and loved ones are safe. . .but still.
