Zombie Woods Photoshop February 2007
The idea is that there is a forest that creates Zombies. The wood doesn't burn so they have to chop down each of the trees one at a time, and they grow back right away (see the multiple stumps on the trees). After dark the Zombies come out, and there is a fog that seeps from the forest which acts as a sedative. In this drawing there is a guy who decided to take a nap after felling one of the trees and unfortunately for him... he slept past sunset.
10 hours Photoshop CS1. This piece just never came together for me. Just when I was really starting to want it to be done, I enjoyed a rare photoshop crash. This was great because that meant I was done. The image you see was actually rescued from the time-lapse video I was recording.
I tried out painting with color from the start and found that I didn't like that technique very much. This drawing was like running in flippers for me. A lot of false steps, cumbersome, and overall a lot of waisted work. There was a lot of detail that went into the bark that was lost both by the final contrast and by the artifacts imposed by the compression.
