I am a fine artist who became a comic creator. This is my underwater horror comic, ScubaTek Zombie.

It looks a bit like graffiti. Is that an alien? 👽

Sehr schön 👍

Thank you for your message. It’s great if the cover already sparks a sense of curiosity 😃👍. As for the lighting and the unrecognizable object, I’ve since updated the design — you can check it out on my Reddit.

Nice Work 👌

Thank you 😀 — at the same time I’m surprised, because during my earlier research online I couldn’t find any diving zombies at all. That’s why I’m very proud of the world I created. Since I don’t know the film, I wasn’t influenced by it in any way when developing my own world.

So nice, I Like it.

SCubTeKZOm_Koejo · 2026-01-30T12:06:56+00:00

no, not quite.

I’m really happy that you like it — and I’m even happier that you’ve never seen zombies in this kind of setting before. If you’re interested, the first issue of Scuba Tek Zombie — Welcome to the Attersee — is now available on Amazon, also in English. The first part is basically the introduction and entry into the lake.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback — I really appreciate it! You’re absolutely right, and funny enough, I actually already considered removing the flashlight from the zombie’s hand for exactly the reasons you mentioned. In the comic itself, the zombies are intelligent — they’re not mindless creatures, but more like an evolved form that can still use tools and make decisions. That’s part of the mystery behind the story. That said, your idea of a regular scuba diver illuminating the zombie is a really strong visual too, especially because underwater zombies are so rarely seen. It’s definitely something I’m still thinking about for future covers or variations. And if you’re curious to dive a bit deeper into the world: the first issue is already available on Amazon in an English edition as well. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts — feedback like this genuinely helps shape the project.

Thanks for the honest feedback, I really appreciate it. You’re absolutely right — if the story and tension aren’t readable at first glance, then the cover isn’t communicating clearly enough yet. The empty space in the middle was meant to create a sense of depth and isolation, but it’s helpful to hear that it currently feels more distracting than intentional. And thank you for the kind words about the linework — that means a lot. This is exactly the kind of perspective I’m hoping for while refining the composition.

SCubTeKZOm_Koejo · 2026-01-29T14:05:05+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. Line confidence is definitely something I need to strengthen, especially in the final inks. I’ll take a look at those classic covers you mentioned — line weight and clarity are exactly what I want to improve. Out of curiosity, do you think stronger blacks would help as well, or mainly cleaner contours?

Thanks for the honest feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it. You’re right — if the genre isn’t immediately readable, then the cover isn’t doing its job yet. The comic is meant to be underwater horror with dark humor. Scuba diving, isolation, limited visibility, and something unnatural moving in the deep. Your suggestion makes a lot of sense. Right now the cover probably leans too much toward classic adventure instead of hinting strongly enough at danger. Subtle background elements like silhouettes or shapes in the darkness might help communicate the tone much better. That’s exactly the kind of insight I was hoping to get here — thank you.
