Winnebago graveyard is Alison Sampson’s new mini-series with Image comics – which I’ve made some artwork for! in the comic ‘AN AMERICAN FAMILY ON VACATION FINDS THEMSELVES STRANDED IN A SMALL TOWN WITH A SINISTER SECRET.’ I’ve read issue #1 and it’s awesome – Satanists! Sacrifice! Gore & Horror! a really good comic if you like blood and guts and atmospheric tension.
Alison asked me to create some guest art for issue #2 which is out in July. She had seen Death & The Girls and the Poison Ivy image below and thought I’d be a good match for the satanic strangeness of Winnebago Graveyard.
devils, witches, skulls and symbolism, Satan is riding his horned goat out of hell, summoned by a circle of worshipers. Outside of the circle are the sacrifices: Rabbits, limbs, children
It’s a pen and ink drawing, scanned & coloured digitally on photoshop. I think of this image as a digital painting – lovingly hand coloured rather than flood-filled. I’ve been trying for a while to emulate the feel of my painting into digital work and I’m finally getting somewhere with this style. I find adding texture on top helps and will continue to experiment.
it took me a long time to embrace working digitally and i’ve had to find a way that feels right to me. it finally clicked that flat colours aren’t the only option and that the stylus can be used like a paintbrush.
I’m going to have prints of this image at Thoughtbubble 2017 and will also have them on my shop (when I finally get round to finishing it!!!) in the meantime be sure to pick up Winnebago Graveyard from your local comic shop and get ready for some creepy thrills. DT xx
