Dead Future Issue 5 Cover

So here's the final cover for Issue 5 of Dead Future or what I like to call, more of those pesky space zombies that are all the rage.

Comprised of various found textures and costumes as well as some reference shots of Jess in our basement, this took about 4-5 hours to create with time factored in for photography and lighting.

UPDATE: I made a super special wall paper. Click on that top image for full 1920x1200 glory. Also, here is the cover both with and without the title and bug.

I mean, where else can you fight a level 20 goldfish as a final boss?
