Title: Valley Of The Dead - Something Wicked
Post by: Eddy Lyle on 05 November, 2019, 02:37:51 AM
Here to pimp 'Valley Of The Dead', a story that I illustrated (From a script by Karl Brandt and lettered by Dave Evans) for the new issue of 'Something Wicked' by Futurequake Press.

Eddy has absolutely knocked it out of the park on this strip, so much so that when I knew I needed a strip to run on the back cover - this was the obvious choice.

Those of you who have already ordered the comic will see why, and if you want a copy yourself - either come see me at Thought Bubble or get your order in soon so I can get it in the post to you tomorrow!

Brilliant!  Love those movement lines; not everyone can pull them off but that's perfect

Thanks man, you are too kind. I had a great script to work with, thanks to Karl.

Woah. That is really something. I hate to use the term 'professional' WRT small-press work (as if 'amateur' was some kind of slight  ::)), but that's what that is.

I really like the speckling/thrown sand effect. It shows up really well in the tomb scene where you have the contrast between the solid black of the human figures and the pictures on the wall.

Regards,

Robin

Very nice artwork. As others have said great sense of motion and energy in the car chase page.
