Description Davey Jones and Chainey, from Flipsidered and Miyu's comic Maggot Boy. i've been in a real MB mood lately, and thus have drawn a bumload of art for them. i hope it doesn't get creepy . . .

anyway, this seemed like a nicely striking idea for a picture, the two zombie crusaders at the end of a hard night's feeding. i was trying to capture the feeling of existential melancholy, the slight revulsion and above all the loneliness the zombies would feel about this part of their lives - the fact that to survive, and to stop themselves from harming others, they must feed on human flesh.

eh, they're just angsty.

That's so funny, the hand pointing at Maggot Boy in an accusing fashion.

I've never heard of this Flipsiderer thing you keep talking about- what is it?

I love the picture, though. Very angsty and atmospheric. I like it very much ^_^

flipsidered is an artist on DA, the creator along with Miyu of the Maggot Boy comic about a pair of sentient zombies. some of her stuff is in my favourites. The comic is on 21 pages thus far, and a really good read. Chainey and Davey, the zombies, are the main characters thus far, along with Lazaro the tyrannical anti-hero. i love drawing them mainly because of the character design and behaviour - chainey and davey's personality always shows through in their body language.

ANNGst.
But it's beautiful angst. ^^ I love how you do Chainey's hair, that hair would frustrate me a great deal. XD
