(WORLD CUP) ZOMBIE NATION

And so here it is. One day to go and all the pretty versions of player I did for work, are now zombified into completeness. Or something. Best thing of the tournament for me:)

Zombie Villa

Not comment on David Villa the man or the player. I'm a fan and wished he had come to Liverpool in 08.
Its just that when I was adding colour to the skin, a colleague said he looked like a zombie so
I started messing about and here he is...Zombie Villa


And heres a side by side comparison. Zombie all the way?

Guide to Surviving Zombies (Directors cut)

Just some more stuff from FiRST. A tie-in for Zombieland.
Used some but not all Zombie knowledge, including some new stuff I picked up from the ever brilliant The Walking Dead

Look at this: Neil Gaiman flash story

Not a lewd parkland dirty mac tale of Singapore's favourite author but the first installment of the "Look at this" installments.
I found this sweet little version of Neil Gaiman's "The Day The Saucers Came".

Go read it here . Just press the arrows to flip the page

Sweet is the best way to describe it, but the concept is one that I reckon could be explored further (Spoiler: Various invasions clashing with each other, the petty squabbling between invaders, the anger at being double booked.)

Especially for Christmas

Nothing says "yuletide festivities" like zombies.
Cut and keep. You might find it useful

A quick entry for the DCeased draw off. Its zombie BatGirl.
Sketched on two loosely positioned postcards. My Scanner bust so its another photo.

The Master is back

Excellent news. George ARomero, the godfather of the Zombie genre, the man who essentially created the modern zombie flick and who directed the masterful Dawn Of The Dead is back.

The Dead has gone beyond a quadrilogy (its actually a Tetralogy, the q word was invented for the Alien boxset) and become what will no doubt be classed as a quintrilogy (should be pentalogy)

Diary of the Dead takes the great concept of a video diary watching how the zombie apocalypse takes over. very similar to Cloverfield, I guess its like Platoon/Full Metal Jacket. Two distinct films, produced separately but covering similar concepts.

Anyone slightly disappointed with Land of the Dead will probably be pleased that the proposed sequel of following the Battle-Bus has not happened. Watch the trailer and see just how fresh this film looks.

Trailer is here


Just to namedrop, George A Romero is one of my favourite interviews. One of those perks of meeting your heroes and passing the test. He seems wary at first , but if you show you know about the zombie stuff he warms up and its almost like being invited into an exclusive club.
The illustration above is from the LAnd of the Dead spread from a few years back.

Z-fashion

Zombies just wont die. Ahahahahahahahahah shaddap.
I even recently bought a DVD called Fido, a zombie spoof of 50's Lassie films. Just that the dog is replaced with a zombie.
Anyway, I wrote a sidebar to a spread I devised for Resident Evil about zombie fashion. And that was a very bad sentence.
Anyway. In a different format to how they appeared in the paper is Elvis, the nurse and surf dude.
