A Peek at Zombeak

Zombeak!, the world’s first satanic kiler chicken movie is about to start shooting. The basic synopsis is:
Satanists kidnap a waitress to give her body to Satan. Her redneck friends show up to rescue her, ruining the satanic ritual and sending the power of the Devil into the most unlikely of hosts, a sacrificed chicken. Chaos ensues!
… which sounds fantastic!
Southern based artist Willz has been hard at work on concept illustrations for this bizarre horror flick.
Among the many renderings are: Costume designs for the Goth characters. Instead of going with the old Drac-meets-RenFest aesthetic- a tired look today’s Goth hardly takes seriously- Willz decided to go sleek and sexy-giving them a dark sinister look that makes the off-the-wall characters bold and formidable in appearance! If your goal is to bring doom and destruction to the world-you might as well look sharp while doing so.
Willz spent hours and hours of research on fabrics and textures and deciding on color schemes all in an effort to keep the actors from fading into the gloomy background of a deserted rural farmhouse.
Also among Willz’ concepts: The ‘Cooters” logo and uniform design for the heroine Melissa-an obvious parody of the Hooters waitress ensemble-and of course- a concept rendering of the Satanic Chicken himself. Willz felt that just any old plain chicken wouldn’t do-Satan as a chicken must look fierce and formidable. Even at his minor stature-he’s a fowl not to be messed with. Evil does have a flavor-and it tastes like chicken!
