Zombie Hare Krishna Painting Contest Results!

Well, here they are, the official results from our Zomtober charity painting contest! All further votes will hereby officially be ignored. And, in the interest of full disclosure (and to allow for bragging rights and trash talking), I'm giving you the full results, complete with all placings and who painted what.

Welcome to the Post-Octopalypse!

Hello everyone! Since I was a little late to the party for Zomtober, I thought I'd try my hand at coming up with something new for us to aim for in the month of November....

Painting Tips: A Horde's Worth of Zombie Flesh

   There are many nice ways of achieving a rich, undead skin tone (see our article on the one-hour Zombie Painting Challenge for four different looks made by the four people in the challenge). Many of them, however, include multiple layers of paint and highlighting, using different washes in different areas, or other special effects that one might not want to take the time for when painting an entire zombie horde. Especially if you ever need to paint models for other games, a multi-step process on your several hundred zombies may take more time than you really want to put into it. After all, zombies are supposed to spread like rabbits (aren’t you scared of rabbits now?) The more quickly you can pop ‘em out, the bigger your horde can get!

ZOMTOBER!!!!
