Horrifying zombie characters are a both a scary task to create and to look at. In this post i want to create a terrifying, very hard to beat zombie cyborg -An apocalyptic guy that you dont want to confront, but rebuilt with mechanical parts so hes more deathly than any other zombie in town. This concept could be broken down into two simple stages: first, i'll create the character silhouette and simplifying values, and second, rendering the character.
The first task i have its to consider the character's anatomy - A very bulky guy - and his clothing. I dont want to get involved with details in this phase and only concentrate in shapes and values.
After i finished the main silhouette i start to paint over it giving it more details and adding color using the same values as the grayscale image, this phase is the most time consuming, take in consideration that you are the artist who dictates when the painting its finished, so take your time, put some good music and start to make your final touches to your master piece.
