Ash vs the Evil Dead – pages update

JC Randomart and illustration, prop8 Comments

Since I already did my version of the Necronomicon from the 2013 movie (over here), and are in the middle of recreating the pages from the classic movies (over here), I thought I might as well do the pages from the new absolutely awesome series Ash vs the Evil Dead. The challenge here is that these pages are drawn in a watercolor-like style and also.. there are animated so I’ve made a composition of several frames to more or less assemble a page that I could  re-draw (maybe)… This will take quite a bit of time to make since I’m not even sure what style to use to re-make them but I leave you with the assembled page I created from screenshots in case anyone finds them useful. Here is my work in progress…. VERY “in progress” These first pages were all over the internet when the series was first released so no mistery here… And here are my attempts to re-shape screenshots from the show in order to re-trace them: And here is another pic that is obviously not from the book but its just cool so I might make it into a page: I have created a dropbox … Read More

As allways, theres too much to do and to little time to do it, but I managed to ink a couple more pages from the necronomicon and uploaded them to the necro-dropbox folder where you can download them all. (transparent PNG files). The dropbox necro-folder is over here: http://elderprops.com/necronomicon-evildead-1981/ All my other downloads are here: http://elderprops.com/downloads Salutations!

Today a very nice guy (with a couple very nice designs) sent me the link to this awesome deviant gallery with a rather extensive collection of pages from Evildead 2013. (I have SO much work now to complete my collection, it’s very exiting) Also… here is the actual designer of the illustrations from the movie, sooo cool: www.tanewilliams.com

Necronomicon (Evil Dead 2013) – Part 3, the wrong cover!

JC Randombookbinding, diyLeave a Comment

So… I initially was thinking on doing the actual movie cover of the book with the human skin and the staples… But, I couldn’t find a tutorial that showed a prop that looked realistic, and I had no experience with papeir mache o other technique that might produce something decent… so then I thought I might do the original necronomicon face… But again, no idea how to make it look decent… So fuck it, I knew resin casting.. and i like skulls, so whatever, I just got some actual leather and I sculpted a nice skull to put in the middle… the mold…   A little test of the mold with some leftover resin… And the final book:

Necronomicon (Evil Dead 2013) – Part 3, the text block

JC Randombookbinding, diyLeave a Comment

Wasn’t really sure about what to put as end pages around the normal paper pages so I just grabbed some black construction paper and put it there. I bet there are better options… Placed it between couple pieces of wood so serve as a book press. C-claps to complete the home-made book press. I saw on some tutorial that the perfect binding needs some texture added to the pages in the back so the glue sticks better. I added some grooves so the blue has even better place to stick. Some twine and contact cement… And done In the end the grooves/twine were not such a good idea, the pages don’t quite open properly. So don’t do that. Live and learn… To finish the text block I took some random strips of fabric for the book marks.

Necronomicon (Evil Dead 2013) – Part 1, drawing the pages

JC Randompage set1 Comment

To start with, I searched a couple hours around the internet to see if there was some pdf or something like that with the pages of the book from the movie but I couldn’t find it. There is probably some good scan or something but since I quite like drawing and needed some extra practice I just downloaded the movie and very patiently paused all over the film and took screenshots wherever the book is shown open so trace the drawings. Some looked ok and were easy to copy… Some not so much, there were too much closeups… Obviamente tuve que inventarme todas las partes de las ilustraciones que estaban fuera del la escena como la cabra aquí: Or burny zombie over here:x Did the same for all the pages with ilustrations (all done in photoshop): (You can download the page over HERE) (And the fonts over HERE)
