The making of DEAD. ALIVE

That is few year ago, DEAD ALIVE was a very tiny concept in my mine, that time I just thinking need a killing zombie story, and a zombie hunter or whatever to kill something, and few year this story will keep come out in my mine while i am very boring, nothing to do... after 2010 comic fiesta, i was thinking to try a short story, and come out with this.

this is a super earlier page comic I keep, that time i never think the comic will will be a long story, just a very few page comic. it is a comic from no reason, a lot of zombie after a soldier, and finally i didn't finish that comic, a few page sketching(missing already) and a page inking.

after this few page sketch, another story was come come out in my mine, that was call [The Taoist and the monk], that was developed from that few more comic sketch. It base on the earlier story zombie hunter killing zombie.

the character of monk i use from my super earlier artwork. It just a character help to enhance the story telling, but i was stop because the story was stuck, many question i asking my self.

Finally in year of 2013, i start a writing the story, arrange everything i keep, the handwriting and some sketching, develop from the earlier concept, and i plan 4 chapter to finish it. That is a lot of story i cut it down because the story really stuck, it not logic if everything i put in into the story, maybe will come out for next story...






sometime my story come from the dialogue, some time was the question i asking myself, and many tiny idea keep going in my mine i write down, and much more in my mine i din't writing down...


the story i thinking was telling about the delivery team was a narrow escape from the death, so like DIE or ALIVE,  and finally it relate with the dead, DEAD is ALIVE,
so final naming was call "DEAD . ALIVE".
and here a setting for the chapter, and earlier storyboard.




The ps3 game call the las of us it might help me a lot of mine changing, like many of zombie movie before, the ending always be success cure everyone, and successfully find out the antidote in the very short time, but the game was not, 20 year still finding any antidote of zombie, that really changing the zombie world what I imagine.

I thinking Taoist can using Chinese vampire to fight zombie, finally i cut it, maybe can use for future....
