God Is Sleeping

God Is Sleeping, Page 9 - penciled lay out

Two weeks ago I began work on Issue #2 of God Is Sleeping - formerly Little Uglies. The story begins where issue #1 left off, in the cellar of the mad hatter-like "Sinister Terrance, and his man servant Rutherford putting a controllable head on the "headless one." Now known only as "The Creature," the deviant Terrance takes The Creature out for a little experiment in obedience. The test: kill a crazy street preacher on command. At first The Creature hesitates...but with the help of a little physical pleasure The Creature complies.

For this sequence I knew that I wanted to visually exaggerate everything slightly. It wasn't until page 10 that the Point of View pay off came in to play with The Creature bent over the dead body.

In the Penciled drawing I had a good idea as to how to manipulate that point of view. It wasn't until I began to ink the drawing that the point of view began to really take shape. I wanted the corpse to be almost respectively larger then The Creature because it represents the scale of the evil act he just committed.

Hey Matt, this stuff sounds pretty intense and profound and I've loved these characters. I want to buy the first volume (it's done, right?). How does one go about doing that, my friend?
