Finished my interpretation for this week's ImagineFX challenge theme 'Outbreak'. I went for the classic zombie/ghoul outbreak, a small town is slowly being overrun by a group of crazies out for blood. I always thought that the most interesting part of any zombie movie is the part when the plague has just started and the mayhem is at its most exciting, I wanted to capture that energy with a really gritty and grungy piece. To accomplish this, I used watercolor brushes and kept all the sketchy line work. I also did some minimal refining of details and gave my trust to the brush effects. For this month I wanted to challenge myself further by adding a weather element to my entries and a storm seemed appropriate for the theme, it also added another layer of texture and made the piece just right. I really enjoyed working on this piece and it feels great to know that I am growing as an artist, but I know that I have tons of other techniques and challenges I need to learn and face.
