As a kid, I remember my brother’s outstanding collection of comic books. I would spend my time browsing through the variety of styles art. There was only a few that really stood out from all the rest. These three comic series would inspire me to emulate the awe inspiring art of comic books. Predator and Aliens series. The three comic book series in particular were the Predator, Aliens and Swamp Thing.
The Aliens series was a series that inspired me greatly. It had a lot of gore, something that a seven year old kid could really be amazed by. The series went into more depth than the movies did. The first couple of books that came out had the human forces all ready fighting
this menacing force [Aliens] and losing the battle. The series involved a lot of science fiction to it like: cloning, biomechanism, androids, high-tech weapons, and many others of that sort. I first saw the Aliens movie when I was seven, but nothing could compare to the graphic novels I was inspired by. The Predator series was one of my all time favorites. The Predator(s) were an ancient alien civilization of hunters that go around the galaxy and hunt other aliens. Lik
e the Aliens series, the Predator books had a lot of gore and blood, something I really used in my later drawings. But the series that really inspired me was Swamp Thing.
Before I even saw the movies, I was astonished by the graphic novels. Other than the fact that my favorite color is green and he is green, I completely loved the fact that he could control vegetation. The art was inspiring as well. I took in a lot of the details and sought to incorporate that in my own style. Now, my style of illustration has taken a little bit of each; the blood, the gore, and tedious detail, to create my unique style that everyone seems to enjoy.
