ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #33: Wahlberg

Photobucket

Mr. Wahlberg dedicated to the candle lady, Ms. Moni ;), hope its to your liking. I decided to use one of Mark's old model pics for this one ( i know how much gals like lookin' at cartoon men abs, so i had to deliver!) and corpse it up a bit...I've always been a fan of that "lets sepia the hell outta everything else except for the glaring eyes" color scheme you see with photoshopped pics and whatnot, and decided to do that with this drawing, to give Wahlberg a bit of a creepy look.

Ms. Moni is a good friend of mine and runs a lil' candle business, so if any of you guys or gals lookin' to buy a candle, check out her site at: www.baysidecandles.com

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #32: Mr. Undead California

Photobucket

Mr. "I'll Be Back" is dedicated to my friend Joey, hope you dig it man!

Mr Governor, well...I couldn't resist but to give him the T-1 metal skeleton...just had to be done ya know? I did bloody him up a bit to "justify" the metal skeleton, but yes..I deduct points on myself for not being AS creative as I could have been..don't blame me, blame the badass Terminator movies!!!

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #31: Lil' Red Riding Hood

Photobucket

This red-eyed seductress is dedicated to my friend Karluh, hope ya like it ;).

There's a pic of Ms. Karluh in a Halloween costume of Ms Riding Hood, and I couldn't resist but to "zombify" that pic. As with Zombee #28, I went with a monochrome for the color scheme and am happy with the result.

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #30: Hannibal

Photobucket

Mr. Lecter here is dedicated to my good friend Kirk, appreciate the suggestion man! Kirk had the idea of Hannibal eating a human as himself and not a zombie, eating someone with a group of zombies...i couldn't resist, haha.

At some point I would like to come back to develop this drawing some more, but for now I think this will do ;).

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #29: Zombie Luv

Photobucket

This lovely zombie mother/daughter duo dedicated to one of my favorite people in the world, KLARI! :D, hope you dig it!

This zombie pic makes me all warm and fuzzy inside..i think it has to be a couple of the happiest zombies I've ever seen..or at least the happiest in this series of drawings, haha.

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #28: The Purple Undead

Photobucket

This purple zombie vixen dedicated to Ms. Arnette ;).

You know I've noticed that all these women caricatures are poppin' up in the series, I've really have had no guys volunteer themselves to be zombified..whats the deal guys! the gals are showin' you up!

Haha, this leads though to some interesting creative problems I've run into..how to make a zombie "pretty" and "sexy" whiiiile maintaining essential "zombiness"..A couple solutions you'll have noticed is different types of clothing, chunks of flesh missing from different areas, nooot too much showing of bone though..and blood..I've done a couple with stitching now, but I'm relying heavily on color scheme as well...

With that said, I remember somehow that purple is Ms. Nette's favorite color (or at least i think it is..for some reason I think I know this), so I placed a dark purple background on the back of my drawing and from there just played around with some lighter purples 'til I got the result you see before you.

Monochromatics, two thumbs up!

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #27: Mr. Depp

Photobucket

Mr. Depp is dedicated to one of my ol' advertising buds, Crystal, HAF represent!!! :P, Mr. JD here was a fun draw. I sketched him really quick "caricature-style", had to be less than 10 minutes, and then just added a few "zombie features"..I wanted to give him more of a "comic booky" feel, so I gave him reaaaally slighted eyes and alotta lines for the exposed gum/muscle..as far as style/technique, I'm really happy with how Depp came out, I'd like to say as the series continues I am finding more of my "niche" for these zombie caricatures.
