Painting Zombie Flesh
How do you guys paint the skin tones for a Zombie? --Tom

the same way as normal human skin tone but with a dark dull blue and green mixed in

Great, I like the look of your Zombie Skin. --Tom

As FG said, blue or green ( or even purple) tinges to normal flesh tones work really well. Another method is to go for really pale flesh tones working towards white or ivory ( this gives a good contrast with blood!) Personally I like green flesh on a zombie! It's the traditional Dawn of the Dead colour ( old version) and immediately differentiates between zombie and survivor. I normally start with dark green then GW Camo Green working up with more and more ivory ( bleached bone) towards bleached bone highlights. PM

I have used a pale flesh with game colour sombre grey then add in a bit of camo green and work up. I tend to wet brush it on. It gives a green/grey look to the skin

That should be easy to do, in the meantime I found an excellent tutorial on how to paint realistic blood :twisted: http://www.coolminiornot.com/article/aid/252 Very nice

I start out with a white undercoat and then prime the skin Rotten Flesh (GW). Then I wash it with black'n'brown ink of me own making (1 part black, 2 parts brown, 3 parts water). Next the raised areas are given a thinned coat of rotten flesh again, followed by a thin thin coat of rotten flesh/elf flesh (50% of each). Lastly I highlight with elf flesh (thinned). I think the result is great and very rotty.
