"The 50 Most Memorable Deaths in Sci-Fi" illustration- SciFiNow issue 67

For the last few months I've been working on some projects that I'm not allowed to share with you until they get released (hence the relatively sparse updates here recently) but fortunately I've done more work for SciFiNow Magazine that I can show you as SciFiNow issue 67 is out now and amongst a whole host of other fun about Prometheus and True Blood, there is a feature on the 50 Most Memorable Deaths in Sci-Fi which includes the illustration I made for the feature. 

The Walking Dead, Indiana Jones and Russell Edgington in one image? SciFiNow commissions are great fun.

Angel Season 6: The world literally goes to hell!
Issue 64 of SciFi Now Magazine includes a feature of "The 10 Best Season you'll never see" which looks at what would have happened if some of your favourite cult sci-fi and fantasy shows had not been cancelled before their time (and if it would have saved them) including Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Farscape, Stargate Universe and Caprica. 

Here is a taster of some of my images that appear in the magazine, check out the issue for more!
Caprica Season 2: 'The Chief' helps Zoe Graystone evolve the Cylons
Farscape Season 5
Stargate Universe (SGU) Season 3 would see Eli in control of the Destiny and dealing with energy based life forms and his own sanity!

Day Of The Tentacle - Animated Illustration



As a kid I loved playing Graphic Adventures, especially those by LucasArts. Day of the Tentacle (or DOTT for short) was the sequel to Maniac Mansion and was the first "Talkie" game I played (this was the first game to have speech throughout which seems like a bizarre thing to mention in todays world, but back then it was a big deal!) 

For those that don't know, the main characters in DOTT, Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne used the Chron-o-John to travel through time to prevent the evil Purple Tentacle from manipulating time to control the world! As you can probably guess, it was a very surreal and funny game! 

This one was just begging to be animated!  The image was featured on Kotaku, Little Chimp Society and the creator of Day Of The Tentacle, Tim Schafer liked it, and remarked "Nice! Probably more things moving there than in the actual game! :)" 
As Bernard would say: "Neat!"

Have fun,
David
