Happy New Year! I wish all of you a healthy and prosperous new year, free from undead outbreaks, zombieism infections and any chaos in general that might be caused by the end of the world (which may or may not happen this year, depending on whom you listen to). My sources tell me that while the apocalypse is well on its way, we still have a little time left, so I hope to make this year count!
Here’s a sneak peek concept sketch of one of the projects I’m working on right now… I’ve been thrilled to work with the amazing Dede Putra, who has rendered a scene from an upcoming story that involves some characters you might already know, plus some new ones from the same world. It’s all actually related to the music project I’m working on, that includes producing and remixing music from FETIDUS. Yes, the music album is really going to be released this year, and it will be worth the wait! (For those that have wondered what I’m up to, as is usual with me, this started out as a small project, but has grown and evolved to include other musicians and even artwork like the image above.)
For now, I hope you enjoy this concept sketch of one scene from the upcoming project. More on all this later! And again, Happy New Year! May the hair on your toes never fall out! (No, wait, that’s the wrong universe. Well, the sentiment is the same…)
Warmest Regards, James
