this looks truly epic Mike! i feel like a giddy school girl waiting for this thing.

**Max Martelli** · June 9th, 2010, 04:08 PM

That vampire work is fantastic! It made me search through the rest of your SB and... The zombie work is fantastic! Everything else is great too of course but the zombies and vampires blew me away. I am seriously considering trying to get these books. Amazing work.

**phizpietl** · June 9th, 2010, 06:07 PM

Thank you very much Mike, that means a lot coming from someone as talented as you!
Love the new Vamp update, looks awesome ... will it be available in the UK?

Cheers
Norris

NICKYBEATS.
Thanks man!

MAX MARTELLI,
Give me a buzz when you pick up the books and let me know what you think. Thanks man.

PHIZPIETL,
Thank you!

NORRIS,
Thank you! The books are available thru Amazon, i think they have the best prices. Give me when you get the books and let me know what you think or if you have any question about the demo's, i"ll be doing a companion DVD next month using similar techniques, which i"ll send out free to some of the nice folks that picked up my books.
Cheers
Mike

**hunchback** · June 10th, 2010, 03:43 PM

damn mike that last piece there has a real frazetta feel to it

kickass work

**smokenmirrors** · June 10th, 2010, 03:59 PM

that is one creepy frankenvampire.... well done.

**Malakuko** · June 10th, 2010, 04:29 PM

shine on you crazy diamond!
Can I ask, whats the purpose of the red inside the black (in the beard of the vampire), It looks interesting but is that just your style or what?

**Kfeeras** · June 10th, 2010, 04:43 PM

shiiiit why didn't I see this SB earlier. Amazing!

**Jazz** · June 10th, 2010, 05:15 PM

Mike, you got such inspiring stuff here!! So full of life...even those vampires!

I love the shading and the character gestures you put in!

**Max Martelli** · June 10th, 2010, 06:08 PM
