Title: Zombies! (Warning: contains gore)
Post by: Tarantula on Thu 06/11/2003 15:46:24
Right, so I suppose it's ok to post pictures like this? If not, moderators can go ahead and delete this thread.

The picture is still unfinished, but I thought I'd post it here anyway, as I'm not sure will I ever finish it. The problem is that I think I screwed up the anatomy stuff too heavily... What do you think? Any other pointers?

Woooh! Awesome!
I don't think anatomy is too much of a problem, as Phil Winslades art teacher said "Draw what yuou see, and your mistakes will be your style"
Your style is excellent!

I see a few problems with some hands, feet and legs but nothing too bad. Maybe add a ton more zombies around. That would look cool.

Why, I've been working on "Search for Sanity" for about two years already ;) Nothing zombie-related though, I'm afraid...

if you could ink that in an R. Crumb style or even better Basil Wolverton it would rock the kittens kidneys

I really like the zombie who's pulling the man's cheek from inside it. Funny.

Hey. That zombie who's biting the man's shoulder isn't a zombie at all, but a disembodied head that one zombie ate that has now broken through the stomach wall. Funny.

ZOMBIES!!!????

Fuckin Christ, why didn't I spot this before? This rocks, man! I love this picture! You can never go wrong with zombies ;D
The anatomy seems fine to me, d00d.

Christ, why am I always the last one to find posts like these?
<frustrated sigh>

This is an awesome picture... I can't really find anything wrong with it... well except this...
1.  Some of the barefoot zombies have some funny looking feet...
2.  Some of the zombies look like they have more than five fingers on their hands (I could understand less than five, but not more)...

This would make some great artwork for a Cannibal Corpse CD!  Or even pixel art.

Good job, keep it up!

Ummm, this looks familiar. Isn't this scene from a Dylan Dog ?

I think this scene was actually from "It's A Wonderful Life".  

Without George Bailey, the town became infested by zombies.

I agree about the funny looking feet... I'm not very good at drawing realistic feet, though I suppose I also drew them without putting in too much effort. However, I don't agree with the thing you said about the fingers :) None of the zombies have more than five fingers, but I think I know what you're talking about. There's one spot with two zombie hands very near each other, and it kinda looks like there are too many fingers in it.

I actually started drawing the picture as a cover for my friend's death metal band, but the band broke up or something and I kind of abandoned the picture... However, recently I heard from the very same friend that he's got a brand new band and he's looking for a cover again... So I suppose I'll finish the picture after all.

I love everything that has anything to do with zombies :) Zombie movies like Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Braindead, Return of the Living Dead, Evil Dead... I love 'em.

I actually recently started a death metal project/band/whatever (called "Zombi") with a friend of mine... If we get somewhere with the project, I'll probably do our covers in the same style I made the picture above. Here's a few photos we took of each other with our silly zombie make-ups on :) I think they turned out to be pretty impressive, considering the really, REALLY cheap and easy method we used to create the make-ups (the photos weren't manipulated on a computer at all, except for decreasing the amount of colours):

In case someone here likes death metal and is interested in hearing our stuff, just tell me and I'll let you know when our first song is finished and where to get it.

I guess I went a bit off-topic... but who cares, it's my thread anyway! ;)

Ah, well... I'll just cough a bit there as well...  
In other words: Yes - I'd love to hear it! :)
I assume judging by the make-up that you are doing some sort of Gore-ish Cannibal Corpse/Repulsion-style, but I'll ask anyway: What kind of Death Metal is it?  

Oh, and the artwork is great as well! It reminded me of the old Eastman/Laird Turtle Comics, to be honest. A bit gross, but cool all the same... Hehe...

Hmmm, I'd say our style comes pretty close to Six Feet Under and Cannibal Corpse... Yeah.

Finished up our first song today. It's all wrapped up except for the vocals, which will be recorded during the next few days. I'm not sure will I be able to post the song here before the end of this year though, as the song will be released on a certain... thing I'm not allowed to talk about :)

I can give a link to the song in private to those who are interested though.

Is Death Metal the genre of song where the singers sound like they're vomiting?
Title: Re:Zombies! (Warning: contains gore)
Post by: Isegrim on Sun 30/11/2003 22:24:29
I'd say black metal sounds like that.
Death metal sounds like the singer(?) is in extreme pain (and about to let others share it!)

Ok, I figured as much... Hehe... I'm really more into the melodic, thrashy, At The Gates/Entombed/Dismember-Death Metal, myself, but Cannibal Corpse is fine as well... :) I'd love to hear it, so just drop me a pm...

Eggie:
Death is more of deeper, lower growls, like if you cross-breeded some grizzly bear with a pneumatic drill or something.

Black is usually more high-pitched and schreechy.
Both does sound like vomiting sometimes, though, yes... :)

Yep... Me - Opeth kicks serious ass, indeed... I've been longing to check up on My Dying Bride for a long time, but so far I haven't had the opportunity to... Heh, but if you wanna discuss metal, you can PM me so that we won't clutter up the thread... :)
