I't's like "Cheers Goes to Hell". Love the amount of work in this.

Geez, there's a lot of bloody work in that! Impressive cause I know it's hard when you have so many people to consider in the one image with regards to proportion and placing.

Thanks, it did take a lot of work - I think I spent 3 weeks to a month on it!
I made sure to do it nice and big so I could put in all the detail that I wanted. Bars are fun to draw!

Cool take on zombies (are they zombies?). Just read issue 1 and the partial issue 2 (yes! bicycles!), and I'm caught

Thank you much! Yeah, these are a variation on zombies (not undead per se, more like "28 Days Later" types from an infection).
New pages should be up every week or two, thanks for watching!

Fantastic work, Chris. I love the background, and having the book title as part of the decoration is a terrific idea.

Thank you mucho! I'm pretty proud of the cover. I decided to put the bar's name (the bar that is their 'base' is also called "Portland Underground" on the carved wooden overhang, one reason being that I could do exactly that on the cover.

Do you use just a brush, or a combo of brush and pen? (which is what I do)

Just a brush, it's the most comfortable for me.

If I only had one tool it would be a fine sable brush.

Thank you! I caught them in a slightly buzzed moment of relief before/after the chaos.

Ha ha, my bet was on before. Isn't the guy at the right the first zombie victim?

You got it! That's why he's not looking at the 'camera'. Symbolism!

Aw geez, I'm gonna have to tape my eyeballs back into my head looking at this thing! Just so much glorious detail. Wonderful!

Thanks! It took a long ass time (a lot of the detail is because it's HUGE), but I'm pretty pleased with it.

Fantastic cover. I really do love your line work, and this shows how good you control pen and paper.

Thanks, Larry! Although every line was made with a brush, no pen for me!

It looks so good, I need to try my hand at brush inking, if it looks this good.
