So a friend called me up two weeks ago and asked if I had time to do series of small portraits – various people before and after zombification. I told him I thought I could do six total. If I had time I’d do more. Of course, two days later, I heard from one of the publishers who occasionally pays me to for art asking me if I was available. Unless I’m already doing paying work I’m always available for paying work. So I was only able to do six before and after zombies. Here’s the first, predead portrait.
Lady Fairplay Remake/Remodel

This is probably the last contribution I doing for the Remake/Remodel challenges for a while. They’re fun to do but I’ve got another book deadline on my plate and a bunch of weekend weddings coming up and that’s going to kill whatever “spare” time I thought I had. I almost didn’t contribute to this one. The character wasn’t inspiring any good ideas. It wasn’t until some other artists had put theirs up that I thought of modifying a drawing I’d already done weeks ago.
Hyper the Phenomenal Remake/Remodel

Another contribution to the Remake/Remodel challenges over at Warren Ellis’ Whitechapel forums. This character’s name sounds goofier now than it probably did in the 1940s but even then I suspect it sounded a little silly. Hyper the Phenomenal? Sure. How about Super the Unbelievable? Ultra the Amazeriffic?
International Patents, part 2
International Patents, Remake / Remodel – part one

The first half of my contribution to the International Patents Remake / Remodel exercise. Apparently Harry Houdini made some serials back in the day. International Patents were the villains in his first one The Master Mystery.
