Cover Art For ZILF Club
Cover Art For ZILF Club
Originally there was no writing on the gravestone, however upon showing the picture to my cousin he told me it would look better with writing on there. I actually only added the writing to the image at 3:30am this morning. Another new addition is the reddening under her eyes. I was recently a book about how to draw zombies and it mentioned that darkening or reddening under the eyes makes characters look more zombie-like and so i have gone through and added this too a lot of my zombie drawings and i think it makes them look cooler. (if I remember to, I will make a post about the books and comics that inspired my zombies).
Back to the text on the gravestone, so I had already thought of the name and year of death for this character before I started drawing her and I also had a mental image in my mind of how I wanted this zombie woman to look like. I had a rough idea of her age (late 20s), and so after writing out her backstory (which I mostly worked out backwards for continuity) I decided on either the years 1976 or 1977. I eventually chose '77 purely because I thought it looked cooler in writing. As of yet, I haven't thought of an exact date for either her birth or death, but if it becomes relevant to the story I will have to.
This was the drawing that finalised the design of Beatrice, I had drew her with a few different looks before but this one was the look that make me feel like I had captured the image of her that I saw in my mind when writing the story. I like this image so much, I even have a version of the "album cover" style drawing of it on my living room wall (sans text and eye-reddening) beside a poster of Zombie Tramp. In the week or two that it has been up there, it has motivated me to continue writing and drawing this particular bande dessinée. This project in particular is really fun for me because i am drawing the kind of things I like to think about a lot
