IFX stuff

Over the past few months I've been doing little tutorials for ImagineFX Magazine's Artist Q&A section. It makes me feel pretty important!

I realized I've never posted anything from that, so here are a few assorted items. Each one demonstrates the answer to a reader's question, although you wouldn't know it. You'll have to buy the magazine if you hope to learn anything from these.

The cheerleader is pure gold. The other stuff is also great, but she...she makes me wanna dance the night away :-)
Such subtle and perverse humor in the same picture. Pure gold, young lady.

Thanks! That was for the tutorial: "Can a zombie be sexy?"

Filip said...

Sexy? Jeeezzz...
That reminds of a disgusting joke: Two necrophiliacs are chatting. The first one says: "I like them after a day or two, when they get really stiff, so You have to work Your way in, like a virgin, You know..." The other one says: "Not me, I like them after a few months. Wherever You push, it goes..."

I've really enjoyed your contributions to FX over the past few months.

Hi Ms. Staples! My name is Will, I manage Alakazam! Comics in Irvine. We just signed up for IDW's aggressive incentive program for your new project with Steve Niles: Mystery Society. I was wondering if you had any interest in doing the in store signing with Mr. Niles when the book is released. I still don't yet know when the signing will be since it is up to IDW and Mr. Niles. We'd love to meet you and have our customers get to speak with you and get their books signed. I personally have been recommending your most recent project, North 40, based on the strength of your art alone. I plan to do some research and find more comics that you have illustrated as soon as I finish this message. Even if you can't make it to the signing, thanks for listening and making such amazing comics. Keep up the awesome work! ~Will Call

Haha, you're too kind, Goran. I didn't know I was allowed to post about it yet, actually. :P

dzuka said...

nah, it's not kindness. you were promising young artist when we met (can you believe it was almost three years ago?) and look at you now - still young and keeping your promises! : )
and, as for northlanders, i guess if it's on vertigo's official site, it's not secret anymore, right?
can't wait to see the interior art.
did you color it yourself?
