Christmas is a hell of a drug.

in comics •  7 years ago 

I first posted right before Christmas.

Bad idea!

I really wanted to hit this community with a loud "BANG!", then the holiday came and I spent my time trying to get work done... blah blah blah... excuses excuses excuses...

ANYWAY, I want to do a comic for this group exclusively. A couple months ago, I did some drawings that were a sort of love letter to "body horror"... stuff like Videodrome, The Fly (Cronenberg's version) and The Thing (Carpenter's version). It was an answer to a couple movies that came out recently that left me a little WANTING... The Void and Harbinger Down.

After the drawings, I started playing with an idea to incorporate that love into a narrative. Something that would give me what those two movies didn't.

What do you think?

Dude! This is amazing and right up my alley! Carpenter is the stone-cold man (just watched "The Thing" Tonight!

Also, the style of that first picture feels like something Jacen Burrows would draw. Looking forward to more!

I had to look him up. Then I realized I read one of his books. He's good.. Thanks for the kind words.

Nice work @leighpwalls-art, "creepy-crawly". Sometimes steemit reminds me of that 80-ties movie "the stuff" ... =)
