El Zombo Pinup

Here's a really fun commission I drew for Dave Wilkins' forthcoming 'El Zombo' book.  El Zombo is a wrestlin', ass-kicker of the undead who's a hit with the ladieeees.  Oh, and he's a zombie, too.

A little of the Process:

I toyed with the idea of our hero 'whoopin' ass' on some unfortunate ghoul, but decided it would be funnier if he were calm amongst a crowd of chaos.

Rough, sketch and inks - please clickety click to make biggity big...

And, below, mucking around with colours... Big thanks to Dave Follett for suggesting the spotlight.  Genius!  Really made the piece come together.El Zombo pinup/full page Illustration process by and © Anton Emdin 2013.  All rights reserved.  El Zombo character © Dave Wilkins.

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to watch out for Dave Wilkin's El Zombo book this Fall (Spring for us Southern Hemispherians).  In the meantime you can check out the El Zombo Facebook page for all your undead wrestlin' action.
