Artist's Comments

Apparently, I have a lot of artwork on my PC that hasn't been uploaded yet. I don't know why I haven't posted them yet so.. here you go!

This was a concept idea for one of my stories that dealt with a zombie outbreak. The city has been quarantined (the sign is supposed to say some small town name but I forgot to write it lol) and these troops have been deployed to recover a missing scientist who might have some idea of what's going on. They find the scientist's car crashed in a tree but there's no sign of the passengers by the wrecked car.

Anyways, that's about the jist of it. This was done in pen and India Ink. I used a photo ref for the helicopter and the troops dropping out.

You did a good job with the helicopter. At first I figured you served in the military because it looked like there was something personal behind it. I like it!

I've always felt like serving but I don't think I'd cut it in the military, partly cause of my eyesight... anyways, I'm glad you liked it.

India ink is great for shading. You should try it. I would say it's like using watercolours, but I haven't touched those since... phew.. since like 6th grade.

Well, I don't know how old you are, not that I'm asking, but you can get a waiver depending on your career. Unless you need the bottom of a vodka bottle as lenses then you shouldn't be too bad off. As for the age, I think it's still 25 years old. At least for the United States Air Force.
