Nazombies WIP!
« on: 17 May 2014, 10:10:09 PM »
My Hands are getting tired!  Having fun painting my West Wind zombies for upcoming Crooked Dice Vlad's Army playtime!  I'm painting various German uniform types.

They're good fun to paint!  I went for the. Outlandish/unrealistic green skin because I figured it would look best with the uniform co!ors.  What would you guys do for zombie flesh?

I like the 'unnatural transformation' green! Some heinous science / black arts animating those dead'uns.

Those would be sweet for our current Achtung! Cthulhu campaign.  :-* :-* :-*

Yep... Going for heinous science:). I started with a more "natural" zombie flesh but it sorta evolved...or was it devolved?!

Thanks!  I have the finished pics over here...

I used a water based dark green ink  ink over a lightish green base.  This ink I have discovered bleeds through any other lighter color.  Once it dried I hit it with the same base color then hi-lites!

A great technique that gives your figures a very individual feel (that may heavily influence me when I get into zombie painting  ;) )....thanks for sharing
