See! I told ya he would come! Mwuhahahahahaaaaaahhrrgghhh!
Thanks everybody. I will post a pic as soon as I can. I wanna at least get a couple more finished before I do. But after looking at them, I think I might be trying to perfect the Zeds a little TOO much. Some of them are almost a little purty for them to be undead. Like, one of them has a bronze belt buckle kind of purty lol
Here's a pic of the first three. They are pretty much done.
What's a good brush to use for finer details, like eyes for example? I have fine brushes but they still seem to paint outside the region for the eye.

Pretty cool outcome. As for eyes, I have never painted an eye to save me!! I just save it for the wash and some facial hi-lighting.
Nice. They have a good, grimey look to them that I like. +1 rep for giving it a try and posting the results.

I never do the whites of the eyes either. Mine come out with a sort of day-dreamy look when i do it. Like the phantomninja, I let the wash provide a natural shadow in the eye area that comes out looking much more real when i do it. I have seen others have great success painting the actual eyes, but I don't have it down yet.
Painting eyes is just realy hard and there are different techniques to do them.
One is just painting the white in the eyes and then use a very thin black marker and nust "dot" the center.
And a second technic is working the other way around.
Paint the eyes dark en the just use a little white paint on both sides of the iris.
That way is harder then the first one but it does provide you with the chance to give people different colors of eyes.

It is hard to not have your figures looking like a retard or in one funny way. When I do it it is just plain luck to get them right Zombie17
