About time I painted some ZOMBIES!!! ..........(for a change)

[Pappa Midnight]

It's been a while since I painted any modern Zombies ( damned VSF.... Weird War.....etc) and I've had the Zombies from Griffin sat on my work bench staring at me for ages.
I watched Diary of the Dead the other day and it got me motivated to get some done.
I decided to steer away from traditional green ( I'm a huge "Original" Dawn of the Dead fan) and go all-out rotten and bloody.
Hope you like them!

They are truly disgusting. I think your best to date! I much prefer them to the green skin look.

[Citizen Sade]

Top notch. Remind of many of the chaps that can be seen at the bring & buy at Salute.

[marrony]

Nicely done! I've always wondered, though, why wounded Zombies always bleed bright red! Blood needs oxygen in it to turn red and, if you're not breathing, no oxygen! Coagulated blood is usually a deep red-brown, if not nearly black.  I'll admit though, that your representation is nicely subdued and, as a result, looks more realistic than most.

Disgusting - well done!

The camera flash has picked the blood up brighter than it looks in natural light. It's actually GW "Dark Flesh" which is a dark red/brown ( normal red does look far too healthy!!!!)

BTW: Fritzy, who said your character has a gun?

[fritzy]

  Haven't you seen the real reason for a guitar hardcase in Desperado . I'm sure the Fritzy mini bought his guitar with a hardcase .  Do I get away with it
   Alright I can't wait to swing my axe at the Zeds.
  The hearts came out really well and I thought you were joking when you asked 'hearts or polka dots'.  great choice and execution.

Cheers

SEE! I told you you'd leave the way of the green behind!

Nice mate, just watch Diary myself, not bad, too few ZEDs for my liking but hey ground zero and all that. 

Best bit: 'HELLO I'm Samuel'!  

I'm kinda stuck in a Halo phase at present but my NBC wearing swat team, delta and rangers keep looking at me funny...plus the 47 zed's ready to paint do moan alot!
