Comics

I’ve been creating 3D art since 2009. My workflow includes Daz Studio, PaintShop Pro, and Comic Life 3.

In 2016 I created a one-off homage to one of my two favorite kills in 1981's Halloween II - Nurse Jill's stabbing. I used a bathroom environment at the time because there were no hospital hallways.

One such environment came out in 2021 and I bought a copy.

Thanks to my Michael Myers-inspired outfit, I was finally able to create a proper homage and completed the following project last September 2022. It's a shot-for-shot remake with the notable exception of Laurie Strode's reaction (There were no hospital gowns for the Female line of Genesis figures when I started the project).

At the time I created this, I had yet to see a proper 70's style Nurse uniform, so my protagonist served as the Hospital's Admin. The G 8.1 character I used was brand new at the time. Her name is Leah.

The Star Wars franchise is so ingrained in pop culture that any display of telekinesis (read ‘choking’) in my work has invariably drawn comparisons to The Force. As a fan of the original trilogy, I won’t deny that I’ve been influenced by Star Wars, but I never meant for my characters to be viewed as Force users or Sith Lords.

The Force is a term coined by George Lucas when he wrote the first movie to describe where certain characters’ telekinetic abilities came from. A few of my characters have been telekinetic, but they weren’t part of the Star Wars universe, and their ability to strangle their victims from afar simply proved a convenient alternative to avoid having to MacGyver ways to realistically pose throatlifts. I love throatlifts, but they are a time-consuming pain in the ass to set up for lots of technical reasons I won’t bore you with.

Nevertheless, as the old saying goes, “If you can’t beat ’em… join ’em…” I figured why not just create a Sith Lord trapped on present-day Earth, so that’s what I did in 2021, and Darth Gar’rote was born. These are his victims.
