Major Zombie Love & Loss reviewed on CBR

Lefty's Major Zombie: Love & Loss graphic novel is reviewed in the 20 Feb installment of CBR (Comic Book Resources) Comics Should Be Good column. Major Zombie: Love & Loss was launch during the last STGCC and it is currently still available at G&B Comics (Block 1 Rochor Center, tel: 6837 2280), Prologue @Ion and all Kinokuniya outlets in Singapore and Malaysia.

Here is part of the review by Brian Cronin:

Every day this month I’ll be reviewing a different independent comic book, based on submissions from the creators of the comic books themselves.

The month continues with Major Zombie: Love and Loss, by Lefty and Tan Eng Huat, a real treat of a comic…

Gilamon Comics is a Malaysian independent comic book company founded by a trio of comic book artists: Lefty, Michael Chuah, and Chi Sau Lim. Recently, Tan Eng Huat (who has done a number of projects for Marvel and DC, including the very recent Thor: First Thunder series) has begun to work with them, as well.

Let there be zombies 01

My weekend drawing. Did it with entirely with Wacom Intuos 3 and Photoshop CS4. Ok with the result, but took too long for a piece like this unfortunately. Still have a lot of rooms for improvement. There are simply not enough details. For instance, the hair should have more highlight, the clothings are too clean for a zombie. All these are second round observation. This is also a warm up as I haven't been drawing for some time. I need to find a faster way but yet give me better result. In other word, keep drawing till I get exactly what I want.
