Alex, Cris and Max - The Undead

Three recently completed zombie portrait commissions - Alex, Max and Alex & Cris. These were lots of fun to create, especially Max. I decided he should be missing part of his bottom jaw; that his tongue should loll slightly out of his gaping neck hole. Hope ya digs; more comin'!

 

 

Most of Matt & Ariel

Matt commissioned me to draw him and his girlfriend Ariel as zombies - it's his Valentines' Day gift to her. What an awesome couple. Happy Valentine's Day! =)

Melodie - She Could Just Eat You Up

It's zombie Melodie! Ain't she sweet? She could just eat you up! Zombie portrait commission a mother requested of her two-year old daughter. I've never zombified a kid before - frankly I don't see the problem.
