The other day someone on the comments suggested I give a look at the Necronomicon on the show Creepshow. Turned out hilarious, and the book is actually cool so I gave the thing a week to replicate all the pages. There are only 6 but I thought it was worth it since Ted Rami shows up so it´s rather legit. Download from You can pay what you want or get it for free. This time I also made my first official “PROP MALER KIT”, which means this download also has all interesting illustrations and decorations as transparent single PNG files so you can use them to make your own Necro-books! Here is the preview of all images:

The “Colorama Project” has begun! I’ve started making full color version of all the pages I have from the classic Evil Dead Necronomicon. I already had several of the pages, but they were quite disordered, also, If there were 2 versions of the same page (for example one version from the first movie, and another from Evil Dead 2) I just kept the most clear, now I´m making ALL the pages from all the versions, so you can make thicker books of just have a more complete collection of pages. the first pages are up and I will be uploading new pages every week (I hope along with more pages from the Deus Tenebris). If you want see all the pages (created up until now) and get them as PNG images, you can download them from google drive on the following link: Get the pages from google drive!

A friend asked me for a book design and said it needed to have “a tree and a lion“. After collecting a lot of pic of lions and trees i came up with this illustration I then added some extra elements to complete the cover and finally put some textures to see how it would look in the real world.. Next time… starting the build!
