Underwood/Flinch/Flinch/Underwood

You know how it is,you wait (?) months for something new to appear At The Darkest Edge then 3 appear at once .....These pictures are collage's created  from my collection of U&F Based sketches /unfinished paintings .Cut up,rearranged,added to stuck down etc .In short, recycled to create new work .I like the idea of discovering an abandoned piece of artwork cutting it up adding it to another forgotten bit and a brand new idea being formed .Never throw anything away !!!

Underwood

art inspired by Episode 34

Ah...Episode 34, a seminal episode ? I think so .Full of rich imagery and a fantastic narrative ,gripping stuff !
The recent episode have taken the U&F story in a different direction ,Mike reveals the story of Underwood's past .There is as always great depth in Mike's writing ,but this ,i think, takes that depth to an even greater level .The image below is titled ,From which corner of Hell 'and is inspired by a line in episode 34 .

The next image is 'John William Brook's is Dying ' completely different in terms of technique this one deals with the last moments of John's life ,handled so beautifully by Mike in the podcast .
Both these images and others can be downloaded Free from my DeviantArt page .Just click on the link at the top of this page .

David Flinch ,Cursed or Blessed

Another David Flinch pic? Yep! carrying on the idea i had for ' David reveals his true identity' .This one is a little Darker but deals with the same theme, David's fears and concerns as he tries to fulfill his role as Guardian .The image is a many sides of David Flinch thing, an attempt to delve into his troubled mind .
The recent episodes of U&F have been fascinating as Lord Underwood reveals more about his past ,Mike's eye for Detail is as always breathtaking .I'm currently playing about with several new U&F inspired ideas so we'll see what emerges .....

Elegantly Twisted (Homage to The Sect)

Elegantly Twisted (Homage to the sect)

The Sect ,gathered from  different social backgrounds and professions ,united through a common goal .Worshipping and serving The Lord Underwood !
Elegantly twisted pays Homage to them. The Largely unknown members responsible ,together with The Guardian for the safety of Underwood .There is a sense of  mystery  surrounding  'the Sect' ,they have over the years infiltrated ,the key areas of 'The Establishment' . Police even MPs may be counted amongst the 'Sect's' members !!.There could even be one LIVING NEAR YOU!!!!!.
Worrying stuff ......still you could calm yourself by wizzing over to www.mikebennettpodcast.com to find out more about 'The Sect',and listen to the great U&F Podcast .

The Guardians

                   The Guardians ( Tinted charcoal on dark grey Paper )
   The Guardians for centuries trusted with looking after The Lord Underwood ,now the task falls to David .This picture shows three of the Guardians Arthur,David and Methias .David is the central figure  .Arthur and Methias appear next to him ,emerging from out of the mist .I produced this using tinted charcoal , a medium new to me ,but which produces beautiful effects . Once again i've made this available as a free download from DeviantArt ,just click on the link to find it .
Also i've updated my website and now have an 'Evil River' Page for the 'Darker' stuff .Have a look and as always any comments or questions about my art YOU KNOW WHERE I AM !

The Red Room

                                                      The Red Room (Pastel on paper)
Inspired by scenes from episode 24 of Underwood & Flinch ,www.mikebennettpodcast.com .
 Miguel remembers his first meeting with Lydia ,who was enjoying the delights?, of The Red Room .
The painting is a pastel that tries to capture the mystery that surrounds the Red Room ,when Miguel discovers it  .I've used deep reds and cool light blues to create a mysterious /oppressive atmosphere in the room ,there are numerous sketches ,some x-rated ,and i believe Mike abandoned a graphic x-rated scene in episode 24 .
So if i've got my facts right, you never know Mike, you show me yours............

Underwood smiles.& Underwood ,the grown up's vampire

"Vampires ,you mean like Twilight "! Oh Dear ,Dear,Dear ......No my teenage friend ,i mean VAMPIRES!
Nasty,Violent ,Homicidal creatures that you certainly wouldn't let a teenage girl go near .Phew ! there you go i've got it out of my system .

Two illustrations this time, one a sort of rough for a Graphic Novel (Stan Lee,if you surf this particular corner of the web ,I'm looking at you!).And the second a nasty pen illustration grabbing the Vampire Genre back from teenage girls.Oh yes! Get the hot's for this if you will!! No ? i didn't think so .......
After reading this you'll probably be Hot for a 'Vamp 'so why not pop over to www.mikebennettpodcast.com
