These were actually done a while a go, but I waited to post them because they were gifts and I didn't want to ruin any surprises.

Did this a day or two ago.  I've got 3 more in the pipeline!

Zombie Kelly

It started with a small itch, one that no amount of scratching could satisfy.  Eventually, Kelly began scratching off parts of her face.  When she noticed that the chunks of flesh dangling from her blood stained finger tips were making her hungry, she knew something was wrong.

This illustration was fun for me, because I (once again) changed my methodology up a bit.  I did the original line art in photoshop, cleaned it up in illustrator, tweaked the line art and added color in flash, then finished in photoshop. Whew!

Too much Castle Crashers

I became addicted over the weekend, to an Xbox Live Arcade game called Castle Crashers.  If you haven't played it, you should; its fantastic.  My one gripe: no zombies?  Sure, there are "undead" characters, but none of the true brain-nomming variety.  I love the art direction of the game (actually, I love just about everything I've seen Dan Paladin do) so I decided to try several new things tonight.

First of all, this is the first illustration I've done in Flash.  I've never really used flash as a drawing tool, so it took some getting used to, but I liked the result.  I decided to try drawing the main character from the comic (tentatively named "Steve") in the style of the game.  I'm not sure I was 100% successful, but nevertheless I like how he turned out.  I believe will eventually transition to illustrating the comics completetly in Flash (once I'm more familiar with it). 

Now on to some of the illustrations I owe people for their generosity!

Another day, another dead

Another zombie for another charitable friend who has helped support the zombie comic.  I decided to go a bit more subtle with the zombification this time.  Zombie Weddle was only recently infected, so the virus hasn't fully taken effect yet.  Seeing him from a distance, a friend may not realize anything is wrong with him.

"Hey Weddle, how's it going?  What's wrong with your eye?  OH MY GOD! What happened to your arm!?!  Wait... you're not Weddle!  NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Different approach

For this very special zombie illustration, I decided to take a different approach than I normally do with these.  I illustrated this zombification of my friend Lester D in the same style that I normally use for my comic zombies.  It's a little less bloody and gorey, but I like it.

Jon's Head

A bit late, I know, but I had a horrible headache.  Decided to just do a head this time.  Again, trying new techniques, I especially like the decaying skin around the holes, and the little bug-creatures poking out of his skull.  My favorite part about this one, though, is that despite being a zombified severed head, Jon somehow manages to keep his hair shiny and full-bodied.  What is his secret?

A zombie with a hair trigger

I keep trying to push these further and further, and I think its really paying off.  I spent alot more time on this than most of the others, but for good reason: its F-ING BRUCE CAMPBELL.  Or it was.  The deadites must have done a number on old Ash here.  I don't think the Necronomicon can help him now...
