Another Eltingville Page Leaving Home

This is the original art for page three from the zombie crawl story, "They're Dead, They're All Messed Up". I scanned it before packing it up for a customer.

This has some of my favorite artwork from the series. The only Eltingville page I currently plan on keeping is the title page for it. There's now only one page left for sale from the story, one I wouldn't mind keeping if it sits. I drew this one differently from the usual Eltingville style, because it was for color. There's detail but the lines are cleaner, and they connect to make sure the forms are "closed". It was a slower inking process, the lines were put down more precisely, and textures were more insular and controlled. I think I pulled off some solid cartooning in this one. Overdid the dialog, but that's a problem I'll always have, when I have more to say than I have pages to say it in. I don't self-edit all that great. What can I say, the Eltingville Club guys talk a lot (like the people they're based on, myself included).

As the Eltingville pages slowly disappear, the prices have gone up. There won't be any more, and there's been an uptick of interest in the series, so, why not act accordingly. The same goes for any Milk & Cheese pages I might put up for sale in the future, but I still hold out hope for doing new comics with those two someday. The Eltingville Club is done. I have to have at least one finished project under my belt before I kick, and that's a good one to wash my hands of. It's so icky!

BTW, this page was paid off in installments. For pages over a certain amount ($500 or so) I don't mind breaking payments down. As long as it's a reasonable schedule and it gets paid up. Money is money, if it lands in one lump sum or trickles in, it all helps pay the bills.
