I'd say the same thing. If, you know, I think I'd be able to get to sleep after seeing this one. A very well done piece.

Awesome piece! You have reinstilled my fear of zombies, good sir.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a chainsaw, a ripped t-shirt, and a shotgun.

it's great, but it creeps me out, which I'm sure is the effect you were going for.

Creepy. (shudders)

This piece came out reeaally well! Just the last WIP was great, but seeing the full composition takes it to a new level. The hellish background with the zombies / ghouls looking at the scene really added some serious atmosphere to the piece... as is the squirming female and undead minions restraining her weren't enough. I love it!

Um Graver can I ask something personal? Can I have you non dominant arm? I will leave you with the good one, but there has to be some extra talent there you will not miss.

You have to wait one more piece before claiming dibs on that arm, I think.

How's this for irony.

The name of the submachine gun that Rack is wielding is called the Spectre.

Originally Graver used a generic submachine gun that was an ingame temp power. But the Spectre kinda suits this picture.

Ok, I really shouldn't have looked at that before going to bed. I'm gonna have nightmares.

That is one excellent piece of art there Graver!

Well, thanks all! Damn, I'm glad it turned out in the end! there was the span of a day when I felt that I had completely and totally wrecked it

Many of you had commented on the background, it's colors, as well as the misty zombies back in there. To tell you the honest truth, that was not planed at ALL. Originally, I had a much different scheme in mind, and a hell of a lot more green. However, once I had the original background down, it was way too much and only served to completely detract from the foreground. In a fit of desperation, I began heaping red and sepia onto the green and black of the background again and again. I ended up completely painting over the entire background and then tried to make it kook like something. The smoky patters started coming out so I went with them, but still felt I had just tossed a week and a half worth of work in the crapper. Then I took out the trusty colored pencils and drew the zombies in the background in... and all was good

As for the female longbow, you have SuperMaoriFulla to thank for her. Originally, I was gonna go with a man pinned down, but he suggested the female as such is much more a staple of horror... once I began toying with her, that pose came out and truly struck a cord with me. It reminds me of what one of my drawing teachers had told me... never ever fail to include the viewer in your work... I think she does a good job of that

As for what's hanging from his gun, just some medallions of some sort. I wanted to work in his sorcerus heritage a lot more then his simple look allowed, and what would be more sorcerus then to adorn ones execution weapon with the markings of ones power, transforming a simple weapon into a sacred tool for bustin' caps. The most dominant medallion is a simple inverted pentagram sigil... the standard suppa ebil simple for most any agent of the Darkest Powers of Ebil! The other is a bit harder to make out, but it is the Yellow Sign ... 'cause, after all, what agent of the Chaotic Gods from Beyond the veil wouldn't have the most sanity racking symbol of the King in Yellow himself XD

Now, as far as my arm is concerned, NO, I need both of them *cringes away* How else am I gonna hold a fist fulla pencils in one hand and draw with the other????
