Comic Book Afterlife (Custom Zombie Portraits)

Custom zombie portraits! If you've considered changing your last name to Romero or own an array of melee weapons, you're in the right place.

When you walk into a building, do you immediately assess how it would stand up in the face of a zombie horde? Do you have your bug-out bag and rendezvous point ready to go? Need a new look? You've clicked on the right page. I am an illustrator who specializes in the art of making people look very, very dead.

Engagement portraits, couples, single portraits, and family portraits (bring fido!). These make incredible gifts!

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE DRAWN TOGETHER.

I will require only one thing from you: a high resolution image of you (at least 300 dpi), preferably making a scary face!

Each portrait takes 2-6 hours to complete, upon completion, I will alert you via email (or facebook, if you prefer) that your portrait is ready and I will attach a .jpg of the finished product. Upon receipt of payment, I will send you a vectorized .png and .pdf of the file so that you can take it and blow it up without losing any integrity in the process. For your convenience, I accept PayPal, and will message you with my account information when the portrait is complete.

HOW IT WORKS:

I drop the picture of your choosing into Adobe Illustrator, the most evil and fickle of all of the Adobe products.

I then carefully outline your pretty faces with the brush, making sure to get every line, crease, tooth and freckle in there. This usually takes about an hour, depending on how much of your body is in the pictures, and how wrinkly/freckly you are. At this point it's a black and white rendering. A lot of creepy linear outlines and no depth.

I then begin the process of erasing and replacing your charming and/or rugged good looks with gaping wounds, torn flesh, fragments of bone, sinew, and bloodstains. That usually takes another forty five minutes - hour and a half, because I want it to look excellent, and sometime I need to look up medical illustrations. By now you're looking like you got hoarded in an alley without your cricket bat.

After that, I color and shade you in and put the finishing touches and background color behind you. Add another hour/hour and a half to make it look really polished. You look like you're ready for the prom of the undead (which someone should really make a movie about - get on it, guys)

This is for EVERY. SINGLE. PORTRAIT.

So, you see...this isn't an app, though it was incredibly flattering when it was mistaken for one. This is ART. WORK. and it takes thought, time, caring and a LOT of patience to resist throwing the computer out the window when - WHY DOES THE PAINTBRUSH TOOL NOT WORK SOMETIMES? GAH!

I hope this clarifies what I do for those of you who asked, and validates the incredibly reasonable price that I charge for my work.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!
