Zombie Self-Portrait

New ART!!!! here's a piece I did for my ever so amazing girlfriend. She wanted to see her self as a sort of zombie type monsters so here what I came up with. Haven't gotten around to inking it yet but hope you all like it so far folks! Here is a little side by side shot that Brittany put together, no the piece is not inked yet haha,she was just playing around with it being a Graphic Artist and what not. The piece isn't 100% the same as the original, I guess I should have looked at the photo more then twice for placement,but for the most part they are a close match I find.

Flyboy Zombie Sketch

A new movie sketch!, made some time an did up a classic Flyboy zombie sketch based off of the original Dawn of The Dead, a true zombie classic. Always been a fan of all the zombie movies. He was alot of fun to draw might do up some more in the future! Also still have that Night Of The Living Dead piece planned haha.I hope you like it folks!

Fido-2007

Well it's another Friday night, another 5 Bloody Finger movie review time! Tonight movie is one that I came across last year on the SPACE channel. A fun new take on the zombie movies. Tonights movie is FIDO! hope you enjoy it folks!

Plot: The film takes place in a 1950s-esque alternate universe where radiation from space has turned the dead into zombies. This radiation still plagues humanity, as all those who die after the original contamination turn into the undead. In order to continue living normal lives, communities are fenced with the help of a governing corporation named Zomcon. Zomcon provides collars with accompanying remote controls to control the zombies' hunger for flesh so as to use them as slaves or servants.
In the town of Willard, whose name is a reference to the town in the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead, housewife Helen Robinson buys a zombie in spite of her husband Bill's zombie phobia. Their son, Timmy, befriends the zombie, naming him "Fido". One day Fido's collar malfunctions and he kills their next door neighbor, who turns into a zombie. Timmy "kills" the zombified neighbor.
When a pair of local bullies are blamed for the missing neighbor, they capture Fido and Timmy. Fido escapes and runs to find Helen, who comes and rescues Timmy from the bullies (who, through misadventure and Fido's hunger for human flesh, are now zombies), and they try to forget about the whole thing. Several days later, the neighbor's body is found and the murder is traced back to Fido, who is taken away to Zomcon where the public is told he will be destroyed. Timmy learns through a friend (the daughter of Zomcon's security chief) that Fido is simply working in a factory at Zomcon. Timmy sets out to rescue him with the help of another next door neighbor (a former Zomcon employee who was forced into early retirement when it was discovered he was in a romantic relationship with his female zombie). Meanwhile, Timmy locates Fido, but is captured by Zomcon's security chief, who attempts to throw Timmy into the zombie-infested "wild zone" that exists outside of the fenced communities. Bill comes to the rescue and is killed by the security chief, who is killed by Fido. Timmy is set free and the film ends with Fido, Helen and Timmy and a few neighbors happily enjoying their new domestic lives together.

My Thoughts: I didn't know a single thing about this moving going into watching it the first time, but boy am I happy I watched it. It's a very fun an new take on the zombie movie gerne. It has a nice setting time period, which I found was pulled of great. The concept behind the movie of having zombies as pets I found to be really funny to an original an fresh. It's not a serious zombie gore movie but for what it's worth an what it pulls off it's a really great movie an a must see for zombie fans. I give this one a 4 out of 5 Bloody Fingers.

Monster Making 101 FIDO

Hello my horrific fiends! it's Monster Makin' 101 time an I'm the artist on it what no way! Dan was nice enough to offer me the chance to be one of the artist for the Monster Makin' 101 section over at Horrornewsnetwork.net an being the nice guy I am I took him up on the offer. For my Monster Makin' 101 piece I picked to do a piece based off my new Horror Movie Fan Art line. A classic new zombie movie called FIDO so sit back an enjoy the 5 easy steps that I take when making a piece like this.

Step1: I take a colored led for a mechpencil usually green or any color that I have. The reason i do this is just to get the general shape of the piece together. Also the colored led doesn't show up on grayscale scan once it's all inked an finished."the scan not the best seeing it's done in color scan but yeah ha ha"
Step2: The next step is I take my 4H lead art pencil & I will go over all the green an start mapping out the hair an nose,mouth, eyes etc. Note never press hard on the lead or put alot of time an detail into it just yet, cause if your like me you might change it about 4 times or more before your happy ha ha

Step3 & 4: This is where more of the fun stuff starts to come in, I usually do this all in one step but I thought i would break it into two, to well make it longer ha ha. This is where you start adding more facial details to the eyes an what ever other detail you might like to make your piece come to life more. Then once you get the detail done you start working on the shading for the piece. With this one I had a general idea where the shading would be so I mapped out where the blacks would be an then added the detail from there. Also in this step you can add in a background if you want to have one, I just added in a basic one to take up most of the boring white space.
Step5: The last an final step for me, seeing I don't add my own colors yet. This is where you make the piece more bold an make it "pop" more with a nice layer of Black ink, For this step I used a 0.1 Staedtler Pigment Liner for the whole piece 11x14' alot of ink ha ha. All & all I think it's a great piece an great for my Horror Movie Fan Art line of pieces. I hope you all enjoyed it folks, give it a shot if you dare!

Tell Me No More Lies Sketch

So yesterday an this morning I started a new sketch, called "Tell Me No More Lies" The idea behind this is pretty simple guy tells non-stop lies an sooner or later the evil from hell starts to take over his body an you have a "Tell Me No More Lies" victim. It was created very very randomly over the weekend but I have to say I love it. One of the reason I did it was because i've been doing comic pages which I can't show just yet so I wanted to do some for everyone to see,seeing I haven't posted anything new since the "Nightmare On Elm Street" piece. I also plan on inking it sooner or later not sure when yet. Might be the first of a selection of Creator Owned Horror Prints too, I will keep everyone updated on that news when the time comes.Heres another sketch I did up over the weekend when I had about 30mins or so of free time. I never got around to finishing it, but it's so to be a picture of myself from the side if I was a zombie. At least what I think I would look like as an infected more of a Rage type. Of course it doesn't look 100% like me at least I don't think it does, an didn't bother adding a beard like I have cause I wanted to add more jawline detail, it's all just a practice piece for when I do more zombie art in the near future

Zombie Thor!

Here's an older piece that I did of a Zombie Thor, I did it for fun one time, an ever since been pretty much sticking with the more detailed pieces an doing less cartoon style work. I planned on doing some more zombie heros from Marvel Zombies but never got around to it. never got around to inking this one either, oh well I guess maybe some day. I hope you folks all like it!

Dead Men Diaries

Hey folks, So today I thoguth I would take some time to post part of a story im starting to write, called "Dead Men Diaries" it's going to be a zombie style book. This is my first shot are writing something in book format, I've only ever done it in comic book format which is differnet. Also writing not my strong point, but it's something that i've liked for awhile & it's something i've always wanted to try so I thought i'd give it a shot i'll keep it updated as much as I can. I might also make a wordpress site just for the story an other stories but i'm not sure yet just have to wait an see. Hope you all like it so far folks!


Dead Men Diaries
Written by: Brian Typhair
The wind howls in the night, the shutters of the old house smash against the broken beaten siding, the sound echo's through out the house. All the halls are darkened the light from the moon, creeps through the cracks of the boarded up windows, The sound of the wind send chills through the body,they raise the hair on the back of my neck. I see a old wooden staircase in front of me,the railings old paint is peeling from the wood. I wonder to my self what lies at the top of these stairs, I slowly make my way up the old steps, each step making a cracking sound worse then the last, I think to my self “why am I making my way up here, why do I care what lies upstairs of this old abandon house, why am I here” All I know is that I have to do this. I finally make my way to the top of the stairs an am face with a long hall way, even less light makes if through the windows, The wind is still howling, it's starting to pick up, giving my gut a even worse feeling about whats going to happen. I stand at the top of the stairs, staring right at what looks like a door, it slowly creaks open as the wind howls shaking the walls of this old house. I put my hand on the wall beside the stair way to help guide my self down the hall way. The feeling of dust build up on my fingers I walk deeper down the hall way. Not a single picture on the wall of the previous family, house must have been abandoned for ages, As I make my way closer to the door it creaks open, I hear a a squeaking sound, I think to my self “Must just be the walls of the old house trying to settle as the wind pounds against it” I stop an stare at the door as the squeaking sound grows louder an gets eerier.
