Re-Animator Session 01

I came in on a day off to start this Re-Animator piece on another tattooer in the shop, Chris. He's into the movie and wanted a black and grey piece. Well that and the syringe will be glowing an ominous radiation green. The idea sounded fun, so I've been working on the outline for some time.

After pouring over it, the idea in my head was to pull a comic book style out of the Re-Animator movie poster/painting. Think older Tales of the Crypt but altered to fit into my style. Maybe that makes sense, maybe not. But you'll see as I tackle more of this.

The outline is mostly a medium wash, with pure black in the hair. I'm also thinking of some form fitting movement coming from the left side of the lower severed head and the upper right side of Herbert West.

This is, obviously, the first session and I'll post more as we find time to work on it.

So what is your approach for incorporating the green going to be? Will it be something like how the red in your backpiece flows with the B&G?
