Walking Dead Inspired Drawings

Update 7/29: Added a Daryl Dixon inspired drawing at the bottom of this post because… why not?!

We’ve been watching a lot of The Walking Dead recently, seasons 1-4 on Netflix, and if that weren’t enough, to enhance my all-senses zombie onslaught I picked up the massive hunker of a comic collection The Walking Dead: Compendium One this week. All this zombification has started influencing my drawings, so I figured I’d put a few of these drawings online for posterity.

This first one was intended as a "Rick Grimes shocked at seeing his son, Carl, turned into a zombie" type thing, but it would up not looking at all like Rick Grimes and his reaction is a bit too wussified for my liking. However, I do like some of the cloth wrinkles, I was reading Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery so I may have gone a bit out of control with the wrinkles.

As my Dad always says, six shots from a .44 no zombie no more

Here is the zombie Carl the above not-so-much-Rick was going to be reacting to, I wound up liking it as a stand alone drawing plus the perspectives of the two figures didn't match up... meh.
