This is the fifth and final piece of my serial killer series. Thank goodness it's all over...
In April 1973, Kemper battered his mother to death with a pick hammer as she slept. He decapitated her, raped her headless body, and used her head as a dartboard after putting her vocal cords in the garbage disposal. His murderous urges not yet sated, he then invited his mother's friend over and killed her too, strangling her. He then drove eastward, but when no word of his crimes hit the radio airwaves he became discouraged, stopped the car, called the police and confessed to being the Co-ed Killer. He told them what he had done and waited for them to pick him up, seemingly unashamed as he confessed to necrophilia and cannibalism. At his trial he pleaded insanity, but he was found guilty on eight counts of murder. He asked for the death penalty but, with capital punishment suspended at that time, he instead received life imprisonment. (Source from Wikipedia)

I love the way the blood stains look like that have exploded from the arteries of the neck. Good job, albeit sickening.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.
This is basically a simple drawing using a H and a 6B pencil on a piece of browny coloured paper. I also used a white colour pencil to add some highlights.
The blood is just paint that I carefully flicked over the areas I wanted. I then took a photograph of the whole thing and played around with the brightness and contrast on Photoshop. That's pretty much it.

Also, I once tried flicking ink from a paintbrush onto one of my drawings. While the effect turned out very good, I ended up with droplets where i didn't want them. it heindsight, I should have covered the unwanted areas with paper.
When you submit your paintings, especially these 5 from the serial killers collection, will you be submitting captions/descriptions as well? I find they make the work on a whole much more effective. This one, for example, I would look at and go "ooh, a man has just killed this woman" but with the description we know that this was his mother, and it offers deeper understanding of the character himself.
I do like seeing a character in art, but I just find myself much more involved if i know bit of their characterisation.

As a matter of fact these images will be submitted onto a website with captions, or more specifically quotes. However when you use text, it's important not to reveal too much, otherwise there isn't much need for the artwork at all. The quotes I'm using will be what the killer actually said that would give a hint to what's going on in the image.
The quote I'm using for this image is; "I wanted to kill my mother since I was eight years old."

I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

Like many other people, I find serial killers fascinating. I don’t exactly know why. Maybe we are just curious about the awful things they did or perhaps we have difficulty understanding their motives and why they did it. Who knows?

it's like with cold cases, you don't know why it happened and who did it, but it keeps drawing you in....
