ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #29: Zombie Luv

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

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

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.

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #26: Death Throttle

This car from hell is dedicated to Travis, thanks for the request man!

This zombie pic is the second "inanimate object" zombie of the series, the first being the pineapple (check back to Zombie #10 see what I'm talking about).

As a cartoonist, this is where I can have the most fun...I mean, caricatures are fun things, BUT making an inanimate object into a being, capable of physically displaying emotions, is something that I thoroughly enjoy, b/c I am creating these features from scrap vs a caricature where those features are already set for you, i.e. the eyes, how far apart they are; big, small nose; etc etc . <---totally NOT grammatically correct, haha.

I wanted to do more with the background, maybe even photoshop a couple blurred trees to give a sense of speed but alas, I only have so much time to create these drawings, which is the reason I stick with the "styles" I've been using...and actually, in these last few posts I've gotten a lot faster...before in the last couple weeks I've only been able to draw 2-3 in an hour or so, today I drew 6. :D.

I always like giving myself projects like this to do, where I get to interact with everyone and simultaneously get the practice and experience I need to further myself as an artist, so a big THANK YOU to everyone who's been supporting me!

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #25: Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe is dedicated to Ms. Audrey :D, thanks for the request!

Edgar has one of those faces that just say "caricaturize me!" so I over-emphasized his features, including his wiiiiiide forehead. I had a couple different color schemes in mind but settled on this "moody green". I just had a thought I should have added a raven. Damnit. Oh well....nevermore. <--couldn't resist.

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #24: Blue Found a Clue

You know, I gotta say, i was really excited to make this zombie caricature :P, dedicated to Mr. Gabe, whose suggestions/requests have also been seen throughout this series, thanks A LOT!

I decided to make steve one of my creepier creations and give him the "black bleeding eye sockets", which i think worked great with the rest of the pic...the bloody paw was a last minute add-on but i think it helps add a dab of morbid humor to this zombie piece.

ZOMBEEZ GALORE: Zombee #23: Barney Loves You

And let all your childhood nightmares come to life in this drawing, haha. This zombified dino is dedicated to my lovely sis, hope you like it ;).

When I got this request, as with some of these zombies, I kinda had an idea of what I wanted to do already...I knew I wanted to make it a "black silhouette" with some blood from his mouth, as far as the color scheme I wasn't too sure until I actually scanned it and was working on it here on the computer...

I was never a Barney hater..I liked and watched him when I was growing up...he's still around right? ...maybe he'll check this out, anybody got his twitter? :P
