BRAINZ!!!! - Some zombie fun

[no.absolutes]

I was playing around with a picture of my husband and step-son. My husband plays Left 4 Dead a lot and I thought this would be fun. I used elements from a tutorial for Photoshop, but I use PSPX2 so I did things a little different. Anyways, I was just curious as to how it looks and what I can do to make it look better. I thought about changing the weather, but I don't know how to go about starting that.

Very cool. It actually looks like he was "made up" for Halloween or something. Nice PP.

Nice job, a few things I would try next time is start with the final result already pictured in your head. I would see if there is an old building around the area that is falling apart and take the pictures inside there. I would also choose clothes that look like they were not bought the previous day. That takes away from the zombie feel when he's dressed in a Jcrew shirt heheh. Perhaps torn pants with no shirt on and some fake blood would be cool. If you have any flashes you could get really creative with the lighting use harsh light and long deep shadows to give the image a more terrifying look.

Thank you for sharing!

Not so sure I am fond of the neon green tint. I'd go for more of a greyish dead flesh color. You did a pretty good job on this. One more hint, (am chuckling while writing this) try and have your subjects look like they arent having somuch fun!
Oh, and no trees growing out of heads!

lol next time I'll try all of that. This definitely was not a planned picture. It was just a snapshot I wanted to have fun with.
