Monsters: Holy crap! Zombies (mild nudity)

[andrewley]

I like it - I would put a little more red in the black coming from her mouth, just to link it with the background more.

I don't think you have achieved a great sense of horror though. Perhaps some indication of a victim in the backgound would help.

[LordDubu]

Another day, another rotting reanimate human corpse. Enjoy!

[Ilikesoup]

IMO this second picture is more compelling than the first--there's more a sense of decomposition. Nice contours to the skull, but there should be torn flesh around the area his nose used to occupy. The blackness of his eyes are a nice touch.

As for the "Living Dead Grrl", the background is chaotic but she looks calm, almost reflective with her downward stare. For me, zombies are all about the eyes--the lidless, wide open stare with the tiny pupil that sees nothing but your yummy brain. Her white skin would pop out nicely from that background if not for her long hair that also obscures THOSE EYES.

Cool exercise, though. I'm eager to see your other 28 zombies.:D

[LordDubu]

Just got back from Shaun of the Dead, and thought I'd go for a light-hearted zombie tonight... meet Fork Boy!

Hey there. I like the idea of the first and second one. Third one is a bit too cartoony in my opinion.I like how you made the clothes on the second one. What program do you use?

On the first one: I would take out the sharp lines on her shoulders and arms. The background is cool tho :D

[LordDubu]

Thanks for taking the time to comment on the Zombie thread gang. I do appreciate it.

Don't look for phenominally rendered works of high-art here, these are just quick lunch-time concept sketches of Zombies... 30 of them in 30 days.


I like it - I would put a little more red in the black coming from her mouth, just to link it with the background more.
But then I'd loose that wonderful abiguity that I was deliberately trying to achieve.

I don't think you have achieved a great sense of horror though. Perhaps some indication of a victim in the backgound would help.Nahhh, too cheesy for my tastes.


Nice contours to the skull, but there should be torn flesh around the area his nose used to occupy.Not exactly what I was going for style-wise though.

The blackness of his eyes are a nice touch. Thanks. I don't want to do everyone elses Zombie, so I've been playing around with ways to make them unique.

...her long hair that also obscures THOSE EYES.Her hair, and forward head tilt, are more of a throwback to Asian horror cinema, of which I'm a huge fan. It's funny that you think she looks more contemplative than the second one, when I was thinking the exact opposite. Something about his arrogant posture, and closed mouth makes him look far too sentient to be a zombie in my opinion. She on the otherhand looks like a drooling mouth-breather.



Cool exercise, though. I'm eager to see your other 28 zombies.
Stay tuned then... thanks for the subscription.

Hey there. I like the idea of the first and second one. Third one is a bit too cartoony in my opinion.30 zombies will get tired if they're all the same style, gonna mix it up a bit, some cartoony, some serious some stylish some not.

What program do you use?Wacom Graphire and Photoshop

On the first one: I would take out the sharp lines on her shoulders and arms.I wouldn't.

[LordDubu]

I'm not as happy with the execution of this Zombie, but I didn't have as much time today to spend on him as I would have liked. My boss is breathing down my neck for another 60 hours worth of work, and an inflexible deadline on Friday.

Conceptually I like this piece... just wish it looked like it did in my head.

[LordDubu]

Well to be honest, this one is a huge disappointment. I don't have time to redo it and stay on my zombie a day for 30 days schedule, so she'll have to go up as is.

[Mystifyurmind]

hey, i'm nick-logic on devart. Please add me, i'd like to continue critiquing after you do these concepts.

I'm really digging that first one the most. Awesome awesome stuff. I would excentuate the eyes, but i'm an eye person. You may not be. Good work.

[Lonely Pixel]

Lord Dubu, no offence but if you're not keen on any critics, only want positive comments, you shouldn't post your work in the WIP part of CGtalk forums :)

[LordDubu]

Not offended Pixel. Just think you're completely wrong. I've learned a lot in these forums from insightful constructive critique. Just because I don't agree with your particular advice doesn't mean I'm hard-headed or unopen to critique.

Your comment in particular was that you weren't happy with the "cartoony" style of a piece that was intended to be cartoony. I don't see how defending the choice of a cartoony style makes me unopen to critique.

[LordDubu]

I'd thank you for your support Myst, but apparantly if I do that, then I'm only accepting of positive feedback.

As to the eyes, I haven't been completely satisfied with them yet either. In one they're too recessive, too sentient in another, in yet another too vague. Most of these concepts came from a story idea I had, and in that I imagined the eyes fill with blood until they become almost black in color. Maybe I'll do a close up of the eyes to experiement with that in one of these pieces.

[Pete2003]

Hi, Ive been following this thread since the start -quite a task to keep this up for a whole month, keep it up!

Just thought I'd add to Lonely Pixel's 'argument' -the tone of your reply was indeed a little dry and have to say I thought exactly the same thing even before LPs post. Just the way that you seemed to pick at each critique. If LP has taken the time out to offer some advice then he/she probably deserves a little more respect than a reply of

"I wouldnt."

Anyway, good stuff so far, this reminds me of a site I used to go where an artist would do a self-portrait every day. Some amazing artwork on there, can't remember the url though -Any ideas?

Pete.

[LordDubu]

Can't help you on the URL, sorry.

I appreciate you trying to help me see what could be the source of this whole misunderstanding. I am at times very cut and dry, both in my virtual and real world conversations. Unfortunately the nature of text is that it magnifies the dryness.

I try to comment on anyone who comments, because that's just the right thing to do. "I wouldn't" in retrospect does seem a little harsh, but it wasn't intended to. It was simply my response. I had already made a bunch of comments at that point, and didn't feel like going into a whole thing about my artistic style versus technique versus skill level... etc.

If it helps I'll expand a bit on that. I'm in the akward transition from traditional 2D to digital 2D. I've only been using the wacom tablet as a concentrated effort for about 3 weeks now. "Bridezilla" up there is literally my 15th completed 2d paint using the tablet. However my non-digital style has thick, sketchy, angular edges in it as a stylistic choice. I guess I could have said all of that... but at the end of the post all I had energy for was "I wouldn't".

[Lonely Pixel]

:)

Thanks for clearing that up. And maybe, if i'm very honest, I can imagine that you sometimes 'can't be really arsed' to post complicated replies on everyone who has something to say about your work, since your work gets flooded by comments, and completely deserves that :D

Pete: You were able to say what I wanted in a better way :D thanks.

Lord Dubu: You say your last work is a huge disappointment. I can't see why to be honest, I even think it's the best but one in your zombie reel. I like the white background.

(and I especially like those sharp lines ;) )

[LordDubu]

Awwww she's so cute and cuddly...

Sorry for the hasty render, but I've got deadlines piling up at work and they aren't flexible... and I'd rather stay on course for 30 in 30 than to skip a day and double up later.

[LordDubu]

Sorry for missing my zombie yesterday. I'm so far behind on today's go-live date for the application I'm developing I didn't feel right spending time doing one, and worked through lunch instead. I'll double up tonight, besides... Zombies are more frightening in groups anyway.

[LordDubu]

A day late, sorry for that. This one was really really really fun.

[Michael Miller]

these are some ver cool peices of art....I especially like ur distinct syle...very cool and very origional :thumbsup:

[BinarySoup]

really disgusting stuff, I love it! I like the way you continously dominate with shadow and just give enough detail for our imagination to fill in the blanks. the sideshot blonde guy and the doll felt a bit weak, fork guy reminded me of mike magnolia's stuff, the rest are simply awfully good, really intense! 23 more to go :) , I'll be watching this!!

[justsantiago]

I really like your idea, however i would try to keep a stile from one to teh other. i leve the first two ann the one you called "the big dissapointment", i don't think it is so it's very organic and has a beautifull pose. i personally did not like the one with the kid, too much nigthmare before christmas. the last one is too simetric and lacks a reason for it. I think the thecnique is holding together your stuff. the quick line and strong contrast really works in these. keep it up man

[LordDubu]

I'll comment on everyone comments next post... for now I gotta get back to work so enjoy: "Tiny"

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/283/6/6/Tiny_Zombie_30_8_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

[NoPancakeMix]

tiny seems to have stepped into the light that the others are hiding from. if his face was obstructed by shadow you wouldve maintained that horror look (that is defined so well in the other pieces) and given the veiwers mind something to fill in.

what is your technique on these? are you pencil sketching first or are you just sketching with color?

[LordDubu]

Yeah you're right about that, the lighting on "Tiny" just doesn't fit the rest. I'm still experiementing with the medium though, trying to find my digital style. Someoen commented that they thought this looked like it shoul be the cover of "GTA: Oh CRAP Zombies!".

I'm using 100% wacom on these. I do a sketch with the photoshop brush tool set to 3px. Then I just layer color on top of that until I like it.

Thanks for noticing the black, as that's its entire purpose. I like the ambiguity of old-school horror... but as has already been said "Tiny" breaks the pattern.

Thanks for the feedback. As to the style changing, this exercise is about finding a style really. I don't think I'm there quite yet though... so I'll be experimenting with each peice. Somtimes that experimentation will be bold... other times not so bold.

[thesuit]

I really like the first girl... her pose is somewhat simple but gives a nice composition overall. I think she could develop into a nice character. I loved the one before Tiny... and Tiny too lol.
Nice work and cool style.
Keep it up!
Im defenitely gonna stay tunned for this one

[LordDubu]

Not the best execution so far... but I'm back on schedule again. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to programming my app that demos tomorrow... buddy of mine invited me to go to see Ministry tonight.... and i had to pass it up.

[LordDubu]

I'm 2 days behind if I'm only on 10. Crap.

This one's quick and dirty... but I thought I'd experiement with a background that was more representational. I wish I hadn't used a stroke on those trees in the background, but since I flattened the layer before looking at it full sized I can't do anything about it anymore...

I cropped this one at 1:2.35 to be more cinematic. Enjoy... please!
Either I'm just not developing hand-eye with the tablet fast enough, or I need a better tablet. Yes my style is traditionally sketchy, but I'm at a point where I'm trying to NOT be as sketchy, and just can't pull it off (digitally anyway).
http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/286/4/3/Woody_Zombie_30_10_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

[justsantiago]

personally I think the stroke and the gradients in here dont work that well. they are too graphic design for your style. I dont think the qualities of the line match up too good. I prefer when you draw the textures in the back.

however you really got the cinematic effect you mentioned. and the tonal control works
kepp it up man

Yeah I really should have stroked those trees in the background by hand. I think that would have saved this image... but time constraints being what they are for me right now I just didn't have the time to get that detailed on this image.

[LordDubu]

Falling behind due to 55-60 hour work weeks. Was actually at work until 4am last night...

Sorry it's my worst offering yet:

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/288/c/7/Scholastic_Zombie_30___11_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

[NoPancakeMix]

zombies sure are sloppy eaters. the lil tyke looks like he doesnt know if hes looking for his shiny red ball or a shiny red brain. poor kid.

the hair looks like you gave up, or forgot to finish it

[LordDubu]

Sort of both. I've been pulling 50 and 60 hour weeks. This was my third restart on this zombie, but after a 6:30am - 4:00am shift I was just too exhuasted to do anything to it.

[Ilikesoup]

Sorry it's my worst offering yet
I disagree. With the schoolboy outfit on him, just draw him dragging a Gibson guitar and it could be the cover for an AC/DC album. :thumbsup: Background is very unique and your zombie really stands out against it. Small eyes and big mouth gives me the impression that he's just a mindless, soulless eating machine. Nice!

[LordDubu]

Thanks for the encouragement Soup.

Today's lunch time zombie will be entitled "Bling". Sorry for those of you who have an aversion for my comical Zombie sketches, as this one will be very cartoony.

[LordDubu]

Well, here he is: "Bling" (Zombie 12)...

I'm getting a little more encouraged, I'm learning brushes and techiques that are getting closer to reproducing my traditional style.

[LordDubu]

Just trying to catch up. Very rushed... started as a comic book frame, but threw in some color. Weakest point: the brain explosion on the right... it was supposed to look like an overhead shot, and the brains hitting the floor... didn't quite make it.

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/289/a/8/Click_Click_Bang_Zombie_30_13_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

[LordDubu]

I'm the most happy with this Zombie of all of them so far... mostly because he looks exactly as I envisioned him. Clearly color is my enemy. I do much better black and white work.

Man, I love zombies and I have to say you are definately doing them justice. I especially love fork boy and the last one in black and white. Keep it up.

[LordDubu]

Glad you like Fork-boy, he needs love :) He's not most people's fave :)

[LordDubu]

"Curlers" Zombie 15...

Each zombie's an experiment. Some are successful... others are like this one:

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/294/6/d/Curlers_Zombie_30_15_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

No color until I get caught up. Gonna do two black and whites a day until the 24th. Then its back to the more detailed better rendered zombies.

[LordDubu]

"Former Stud"

This ironically one of my favorites considering I popped it out in 15 minutes. Yet I agonized over "Curlers" for 3 days with multiple revisions and several restarts...

You're crazy, a lot of the ones that you don't like i think are great :) Like that last one. On page 2 i think it was, the one with the blown up face and bloody teeth showing was my favorite. I also love zombies, keep up the great work

Glad you like them. Thanks for joining the thread. Now I just gotta catchup

[NoPancakeMix]

all the curler needed was a phone or a hair dryer. i think if the curlers were bigger (maybe you did this) it woulda turned out a bit better.

okay, this is the impression i get from former stud. hes running from zombies through a wheat field, and then he trips over...whatever it is people trip over in movies. then blam! no more brain for you. looks like straw in his hair, which is cool
keep up the good work!

Yeah, you're right, a hair dryer would have done nice things for "Curlers". Just sort of absently held in one hand.

When I do these, I like to think about how they became zombies, and where they dead before they were turned or not. "Curlers" though doesn't really fit into either scenerio, she's a bad concept IMO.

[LordDubu]

"Harmless"

Was daydreaming about being involved in game design on something set in feudel Japan, ala Gaiden, Onimusha etc.

Post #41 is my fav too. I also like #44, and todays post. Good to see someone in the spirit of the holiday (especially one most Americans don't get into so much once they grow up, and stop trick-or-treating). Cheers! And keep up the good work. Your black&whites do tend to be a little better renderings, in my opinion. Or maybe you're just telling yourself that and psyching yourself out.:beer:

[LordDubu]

Nah. My color skillz are weak. I confess it. But I hope to change that.

[LordDubu]

"Kabuto"

Experimenting with painting vs illustration. Did this in full color and then put a gradiant saturation mask starting mid face.

I've really got to hand it to you, I love your work. I love the zombie wearing the curlers inher hair. The Giesha-ish one is cool too. Great works.

[LordDubu]

Seems to me anytime something goes wrong, the first guys on the scene drive trucks with big ladders and loud sirens. Then logic suggests that in the initial stages of a Zombie outbreak, you'd have a lot of these guys exposed to contamination...

mm..zombies..interesting stuff :thumbsup:

[edited because i got all confused for a second! :)]

[sarNz]

love the fireman! You say that you think about how they became zombies? How does the zombie disease spread? Is it like resident evil where its a virus and a bite or scratch will transfer it? In that case i think anyone could be a zombie, because they say in the movie that their brains only focus on getting food, so if i some lady was blowdrying her hair and a zombie broke through her window and eventually killed her i think it would work :) anyways, keep these up! i cant wait until i get a tablet, they look like so much fun to sketch with on a computer

[jOBe]

i love this thread, been following it since it was posted.

Im deeply impressed by your simple way of illustrating, keeps a lot of space for the viewers ideas. Keep it up, all hallows eve is around the corner ;-)
PS: - im making a Halloween party together with some friends, and if you dont mind, were going to print your pics and hang them on the walls, to get a real spooky athmosphere.

[LordDubu]

When I say I think about how they turned it goes something like this...

Basically, I figure there's three types of Zombies.
1) Reanimated after being dead for a long time.
2) Reanimated after being dead a short time.
3) Killed by an infectuous zombie bite and then reanimated by contamination.

In Romero's Night of the Living Dead, there's indication that you don't have to be bitten by a zombie to become reanimated. For some reason corpses aren't staying dead (there's mention of a space probe that returned to earth, but that's all the explaination we're given.)

The fireman probably is in scenerio 2. He responds to a fire caused in the chaos caused by the outbreak of sudden corpse reanimation in morgues and graveyards all over the city. He's burned alive in the fire. His ladder mates drag him out and are in the process of trying to revive him, when his eyes open up again, and it become readily aparant that he's developed a hankerin' for human flesh.

What I meant by saying "Curlers" didn't really fit any explaination was, that her face looks like it's been decaying for quite some time. Yet she's wearing curlers and a nightgown, clearly not something that one wears when burried. For me anyway, it doesn't make sense.

Teasers for tonight's zombie post... gotta do 3 today and 3 tomorrow if I wanna make my 30th deadline of 30 reanimated corpses...

Since this is more WIP than the other entries, I could use some lighting advice for the "cornered" one in particular. Also any pre-render composition critiques are welcome as well. I might scratch "roach" all together, as the more I look at him the more unimaginative he seems.

Started off strong... didn't finish well.

"Carcass" Only of the three today that I actually like...

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/299/7/3/Carcass_Zombie_30_22_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

"Roach" Absolute least favorite of the three... three is too many to try and pull of in a single night. Not enough time to really give them the treatment they deserve... unfortunately I'm behind...

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/299/8/5/Roach_Zombie_30_23_by_Lord_Dubu.jpg

[NoPancakeMix]

yeah, that roach one didnt turn out very well

hmmm, my very own zombie eh? ninja zombie, **** yeah!

[LordDubu]

Zombie Ninja it is then... though I think being a zombie takes away all the coolness of being a ninja (stealth, dexterity, sentient use of cool weapons).

[LordDubu]

Last nights attempt to do 3 Zombies at once was a disaster.

So I'm not going to try and do that again.

Tuesday: 24,25
Wednesday: 26,27
Thursday: 28,29

Leaving Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday to make sure that #30 is a fitting grande finale.

[LordDubu]

Another quicky... another deadline crunch at work. Gonna have to be quick Zombies for the next three days...

[LordDubu]

Well work did interfere and prevented me from meeting my deadline... However I want to finish out the series, with 6 Zombies left starting Tuesday night.

[impulseone]

Words fail me!!
brilliant images-very nice style-can' wait to see more..

[LordDubu]

And starting tonight you shall, as I plan to complete the series starting tonight.


You should also see an increase in the quality of the renderings as well, as starting tonight, I'll be using a new Intuos3 6x8 with it's plethora of alternate nib tips and wacom brush plugins.

[NoPancakeMix]

where the hell is my ninja zombie!? seriously, you didnt give up or crash or something did ya?

[LordDubu]

No. Didn't give up. Just have had a lot and i mean a LOT of work to do. Should start banging these out again mid week.

[zero-bALANce]

Wow, love the style... your work has a very graphic sense to it. I sometimes get the feeling as though the spatter will rub off onto me. Props to you! :buttrock:

[LordDubu]

Ok.

So the way I see it, I've got 6 Zombies due. One is guaranteed to nopancakemix to be a "ninja" zombie. Kind of a silly concept, but I figure I'll just do it as I would a zombie in a video game set in ancient Japan... ala Onamusha...

That leaves 5. In order to get this series finished and not linger on it too much longer I will divide the remaing 5 up between two pictures of victorious zombie slayers. One of which will be my idealized self... the self I would be, if I could be whatever I want.

[LordDubu]

Ok. Gonna do the male Zombie slayer first, then the ninja, then finish with the hot-sexy-zombie-slaying chick. As for now... here's the start of Zombie slayer 1:

You may remember him from his starring role in: "Click Click BANG".... guess he took some time off from fighting Undead Cannibals to get some ink done.

"Heath" now has broader shoulders to support that heavy shotgun and baseball bat which he also just got a hold of. Still not satisfied with the fore-arm ink. Needs to be cooler, but I'm no tat-artist.

Zombie Slayer Heath Update

Since it would be impossible to use a pump-action shotgun, and a baseball bat at the same time, I've opted for the single handed p-38, in this latest composition change.

I could use some compositional advice here.

Can't decide what to do with the sky either.

The labor continues. I've reached that point where frustration over not creating the same image on "canvass" that was in my head sets it.

Another case where the image in my head just didn't make it to "paper". Tired of restarting it... so its done.

I know i said I was gonna quit messing with this slayer, but I can't. That last one just sucks... so I'm starting over... one layer at a time:

(that bat is pissing me off... can't figure out why I can't draw it on the wacom... no problem drawing it manually)
