Artist's Comments

A friend of my husband wanted to do zombie portraits of her wedding party but got no responses from the people that she had commissioned to do the work.

Just on a whim (and because I just purchased a new Wacom Bamboo tablet after I lost the pen for my old one in the move), I thought I would try my hand at a zombie portrait.

I'm hoping she will like this and commission me for the others of her wedding party. Since I don't have her permission yet, I may have to yank this later.

I usually only do photomanipulation in digital, so I am quite pleased with the results.

This took me 4 days at about 4 to 5 hours a night of experimentation before I was happy enough to call it finished.

I know it could use further refining, but you can only stare at the same thing for so long before the dirty clothes and dishes pile up and everyone starts yelling at you to come back down to the real world.

Gah.

Please critique this. This was my first true digital painting (I'm usually an oils and graphite girl).

NOT your stereotypical zombie - there is not only "life" in those eyes - but an intelligence and do believe - a sense of empathy...

What do you call a dog with no legs? Who cares.. He's still not coming.

You can't trust a Satanist. They get points for screwing you over.

It was a trial run for a wedding zombie portrait I am working on for a couple. They wanted to have guests sign the matte around it as their guest book.

Very nice, especially for a first digital painting. I love the traditional feel it has to it though, a lot of manipulations like this are over-worked and it takes away the horror - this one's giving me a really cold stare that really works.
