my first painted zombies!
After practicing on the cowboys and Indians I took the plunge and painted 3 of my zombies. My good camera is at work so these photos aren't as detailed, especially the second one when I only had my cell phone handy.

Well the only GOOD zombie is a DEAD zombie! haha Thanks, socal and pninja. I was more confident about making sure there were no gaps in the paint where different colored items met after having some practice and knowing that I was going to use the wash to fill in. “By the time I realized the danger, it was scratching at my front door.” ― Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War |

RE: my first painted zombies!
Goodcop paints his first ever Zombies and the result is..........WIN!! Well done Goodcop these are better than the indians. More coverage and depth. I like the overall gritty 'look' They look like dirty Zombies who have just walked out of a collapsed building oozing fresh blood.
If I could give you any advice I would go further with the highlighting. You can get dramatic results fast. Be bold. For example On Zombie 1 you could paint a brighter blue on his left leg. Imagine a light source above him so the tops of his leg, shoulders and forearms get a brighter shade if you don't have the brighter colour just mix white with the original base coat. Overall I would be happy with the results. Also like most things the more you practice the better you will get. My only question is this: Have you been officially Bitten by the painting bug now?  Happy painting

Good to know I can mix my own highlight color instead of having to buy a different shade. I'm definitely hooked on painting stuff now. The main reason I tried it was because I wanted to have the painted minis for the game but I didn't know the painting itself would be so fun. “By the time I realized the danger, it was scratching at my front door.” ― Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War |

RE: my first painted zombies!
Like you Cop, I just wanted to paint my mini's for the game and
became incredibly addicted to getting better and paint figures with more detail. ~If we are being chased by Zombies, I'm tripping you!!!
