I'm drawing a cartoon strip, as we speak.
It's a complicated series of artworks, symbolising man's obsession with tecnhology, and whether our nihilistic existence will eventually render null our spiritual existence. My main influences on this piece were Alan Moore, but there is also some Lichtenstein, Bosche, and even a slight touch of Picasso in there. My main Musical references were a Mozart/Bach combination. Mach, if you will (thank you Spinal Tap)
My art style, although simplistic, is also surprisingly complex, showing the full scale of the human soul in the faces and postures of my characters. You can SEE their internal conflicts. Anyway, what do I call this?
THE AMPUTATION OF STICKMAN 2
(note: this isn't a sequel. The character is actually called Stickman 2)
Panel 1: Stickman 1 is holding an axe above his head, above the leg of Stickman 2, who is holding it up, ready for amputation.
Panel 2: The axe is buried in Stickman 2's leg. Stickman 2 looks a bit shocked (black blob where mouth was)
Panel 3: Stickman 1 wanders off. Stickman 2 starts to work on his leg with a saw.
Panel 4: Stickman 2 is still working on his foot with the saw.
Panel 5: Stickman 2 is hopping up and down, holding his foot in one hand and the saw in the other.
Panel 6: Stickman 1 returns and looks at Stickman 2.
Panel 7: Stickman 1 steals Stickman 2's foot.
Panel 8: Stickman 2 looks pissed off and tries to get it back. Stickman 1 wanders off again.
Panel 9: Stickman 2 falls over.
Panel 10: Unable to think of anything for this panel, I just wrote END in big letters.
Yeah, thats it. It took roughly 3 minutes to draw. I'm unsure as to how to proceed from here.
I'm considering adapting this baby for the big screen. Using teenagers for the stickmen? Yep. Possibly including Stickman 3, who's job it is to throw up after the amuptation occurs. He'll provide comic relief while Stickman 2 is taking off his foot. This is a good idea. I feel that it has 'legs'.
Hahahahha... why am I laughing? That wasn't even a pun.
Nuts to this.
I would say kill your zombies with an axe, but I think that's already been done. So instead, use a hacksaw.
