This is a shot of the cast... I drew them a LOT bigger than I usually draw the characters, so they are a bit sloppy. I also haven't colored them in or added much detail...
From Left to Right: Un-named Slacker Usher, Un-Named Ticket-Taker Girl, Un-Named Projectionist, Tim, Katie, Un-Named Security Guard, Un-Named Nerd Kid
As you can see, Jon and I haven't quite named all the characters yet. We also haven't quite nailed down the final looks on the other heroes. But this is the basic cast of characters, give or take. There's also a manager and some other guests that will basically be people needing saving...
Up next is a shot of Tim that I tested coloring on. Not sure how much "color" is going to be in the design of the book, but the book will be in black and white with shades of gray. So, it's really a matter of how much shading I want to do with my gray pens...
This is a quick and sloppy sketch of a screaming zombie. I'm only including it because it's interesting to note the possible ways to go with how his hands are drawn. On the one (right) hand, you have a more detailed and realistic look (though still sloppy), and on the other (left) hand, you have a hand that is more cartoony and quick (intentionally sloppy). Not sure what I want to go with. Also, I drew this zombie a bit bigger than usual, allowing for more detail. I'm also unsure about lettering. Should I use a computer to digitally write the words, or should I write them by hand to make it look a bit more low-budget (like the movies we'll be mocking).
Last is two shots of the same zombie, both with coloring and without. This was also drawn a bit bigger than usual. This will probably end up being my basic scale, so that I can have more detail. Anyway, trying out different looks for different zombies. Not sure how many different styles there will be, but I would really like to make them all a bit different from one another. I also would like some MAIN zombies to basically be lead antagonists. Zombies that cause a lot of damage or kill a main character or live through the whole story. Not sure what I'm going with on any of that, though.
