Well, my zombie survivors need zombies to kill or it wouldn't be much of a zombie apocalypse now would it?

Since I don't have much experience painting zombie flesh and blood I decided to first practice on a series of Hasselfree generic zombies and work out the bugs, before moving on to their character zombies.

These first two zombies I tried with a greenish tone to the skin, but see I need to add a bit more green as they look to "healthy", but not too much as I don't really like alien green zombies.On some other ones I'll try a bluish tone.Need to work the tones some more, but getting there.
The blood worked out not so bad for a first run and I'm hopeful I'll get the hang of it. Also, I only tried to add as much blood as the model required and not over do it.

Thanks for viewing!

Nice! The blood looks just right to me - a nice healthy red, with just enough splatter effect. Looks like a recent attack caused the turn, so skintones look ok to me. I'm strugging with this one too - how green should a zombie be?
Looking forward to more of these!

Great splatter!

I find that, if you want a good zombie tone, that doesn't look too bad, is to paint the flesh as you normally would, then use either a greenish/blueish/purplish (your choice) wash, and thinly add a few layers. I really like the effect.

I like your painting style.

Wow, that shotgunned look makes them fierce, Christopher!

Nike...erm sorry nice effect on the blood spray. I've played with a number of flesh tones on mine, from the recently reanimated to the very rotten, grey with a thin wash of purples/green and blue works well with a thinned flesh highlight.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Love how you painted the first one!

I don't recognize him, Hasselfree you say...?

They look very good Christopher!
I like particularly the first one, because of the contrast "white shirt/blood".

Keep 'em coming!

Nice - nothing like a pair if zombie policemen, and the guy in the suit looks VERY unhealthy. He's definitely coming down with something zombie-ish...
Great painting on these.

That was ingrained in me while I was a communications watch officer in the military. You always identify yourself personally when you transmit. The distant end knows what station is transmitting, but now who. So.............................
