Ok, you might be dissapointed by this pic after reading the Thread Title. I didn't actually draw a whole city full of Zombies. This is actually for an art contest on the (MMO) City of Heroes forums. You had to take a signature character and turn it into a Zombie. I had originally wanted to create a whole morgue setting... but I think it stands ok as it is. juggertha.deviantart.com/art/City-of-Zombies-115845716 Thoughts? |

I think it is a nice image. Has a fun texture and feel to it. Though for me, it is not visually dark enough. I think the white space being white or bright just softens it too much. For me that is. Also, I wouldn't have a clue it was superheroish if you didn't tell me. Granted I don't know the characters much less the signature characters of city of heros. But it just does not give me a hero feeling. But overall it is very fun. Yet, I suppose the Hungry should be bigger. There is to much whitespace in the bubble for me as well.

Dig it! It has a real poster quality feel to it. I think some more blood would help to convey the horror of a zombie infestation. Try splattering ink on a piece of paper and then scanning it in. Level it out to pure black and white and then change the black to red and add the splatters to the table and maybe across the corpse' foot. I think you'd like the result.

If ya want some splatter effects to play with go to texture-head.deviantart.com/ It is my second dA page for stock textures and stuff. |

Yeah, good point about the whitespace - you'll note I changed that in this post. As well, the arm (and the zombie attached to it), and the dead person (toe tag) are both well known in the area for this contest. Most people outside of the City of Heroes game wouldn't get there references. Dig it! It has a real poster quality feel to it.

Blood spatter added.  |

Yes much better on this second version. Yet now I wonder, what about throwing blood splatter on the Zombies, or maybe tone it down a touch and add some texture to match with the rest of the style?

Yeah, there's a tad bit 'o blood on the Zombie arm... but it's pretty much washed away with the glove color. Just an FYI, that arm belongs to this guy -  |

I like the concept and the style, the light works very nice also!!! maybe the type is not quite into it, the one on upper side could SPLAT more, and on the bottom the text balloon might be a little big and the type a little over the top. You might wanna try to write some of it yourself instead of using a font! hope this helps  |
