Dead Space Necromorph Horror Illustration Work In Progress

 

Ever since I first saw the original Dead Space video game, I've wanted to have  go at a poster style illustration of a classic Necromorph creature and so far here is the ink drawing.

I'll be colouring this in and will update this post further with any updates and possible mentions of future art prints.

I just love the whole Horror In Space vibe that the game has and the creatures are really quite frightening and scary and a pleasure to attempt to draw and realize.

I think they have done a remake of the game which I saw the trailer for and it reminded me to have a real effort at creating something like this as a stand alone piece of art.

Update: Finally coloured the infected Necromorph creature ink drawing. Decided on creating a blue space inspired background with blue acrylic paint and black paint dry brushed.

On the creature I blocked in a lot of the undertone with grey copic markers, cool grays and warm greys to work out the shadow areas and then I chose some fleshy colours with polychromos coloured pencils reds, purples and pinks.

I use some white and yellow pencils to create some highlights around the whole creature, which seemed to make the artwork pop better.

The Last Of Us Clicker Horror Artwork In Progress

 For a long time since the Last Of Us the game came out, I've wanted to draw some of the infected Clicker creatures and now with the TV series on HBO/Sky Atlantic I thought I'd have a go at drawing a couple of pieces.

Here are 2 separate works that I'm trying to finish off currently and maybe there will be limited art prints in the future of these.

Early on in the sketch process, I had a loose idea for both Clickers and thought about over exaggerating the fungus growth on the infected bodies of the creatures.

I then inked over the loose pencil sketches that were just enough to act as a guide for the form of the figures.

Ink sketching with a combination of scribbles and finely tuned hatching with a Zebra Ola black gel ink pen (my favourite sketching pen at the moment)

With always, the coloring process starts with copic markers, adding in grey tone to form an under tone for all of the colours later on and then Faber Castell Polychromos pencils over the top.

The full figure Clicker creature I wanted to include a lot of the background to show the environment surrounding it, over grown grass and moss on the brick wall as well as a broken looking sewer drain.

Once I get to this stage when I've exhausted the copics and the coloured pencils, then I will start to use acrylic paints here and there to build up further tone to the illustration.

There are other Types of Infected that I would love to draw too, such as the Bloaters, Shamblers, Runners, Stalkers and the infamous Ratking from The Last Of Us Part 2.

Look for more updates on these pieces soon and when I drop the art prints.
