So, its been a while.  I'm not exactly keeping up with the whole 360 challenge, and I apologize for that.  Luckly, I have plenty of time to catch up.  Also, the comic has been neglected due to school and work, but I am working on getting things together.  I also have a collaborator now, so with another person in the mix, I'm confident that once we get rolling, we'll be able to put out some good stuff.  In the meantime, I've got a couple more of these I've been meaning to get to for various people, so look for more updates soon, and prepare for a full re-launch of the comic in February!

Jacquie and Jessica

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!

Even in un-death, andrew is a diehard UK basketball fan. 

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!

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...

Zombie #6: Taylor D

If you live in Pittsburgh, you better support the Penguins, or you'll probably get bitten by a zombie.  I don't know why, it just happens. 

Christy, the brainy girl

Christy was always the brainy girl in her school, and the zombies took notice.  Now shes the girl with her brainies dripping out of her skull, as she slowly begins zombifying. 

Zombie of the third kind

I really enjoyed this one, especially the blood dripping out from his exposed skull, down into his eye socket, and eventually down into his mouth.  I also enjoyed exploring new ways to make the skin look torn and mangled, especially around the mouth.

Stay tuned, these are likely to get better and better.  I'm just sayin.

Zombie #2 - ted

Technically an hour late (though I never promised to do one a day exactly) here's zombie number 2.  Just 358 to go!

Stay tuned for more zombie goodness!  You can also keep up with the most recent "Zombie of the Day" at the new website, www.thezombiecomic.com, the new home of the zombie webcomic series.

the Zombie comic has moved!

The zombie comic series now has a home of its own.  Check out www.thezombiecomic.com for all of the newest comics featuring our favorite everyday undead people.  It is still under development, so you will see the appearance change and new features added over the next month or so.  However, since it is functional, I will no longer be posting comics to this blog.

However, I do not want to abandon this blog entirely, so I have decided to repurpose it.  In keeping with the spirit of the zombie comic, I have decided to take up a 360 challenge: I will illustrate 360 zombies in the next year, and at the end of the year, the plan is to create a zombie hoard illustration using all 360 zombies!

So, to kick things off, here's zombie number 1:
