Thread: Walking Dead inspired Zombie Makeup

Tweet

I finally had a chance to apply my "Walking Dead" inspired zombie makeup. Custom foam latex appliance, PAX paint, alcohol-activated makeup, creme makeup, custom out-of-mouth dentures.


I think I did the PAX a little too heavy in places, I'd like to play with the coloring next time to better bring out the details of the sculpt, and could certainly have gotten better edges, but for my first foam latex appliance, I'm quite pleased.

wow man!! Hats down!! This is amazing!! coolest makeup so far!!

That came out amazing. Nice work. If I had one suggestion it would be to add some drk red blood gel and some KY jelly to the exposed fleshy/rotting parts and the gums and teeth for a wet look.

I HAVE to learn how to do that for next year! That would be a hit! Well done!!

Very well done! Definitely worthy of spot in the show i think.

Nice! I have a question that I noticed in the last episode and now on your makeup. Why are their mouths always torn up like that???

Mr Chicken!!!! As always an awesome makeup job. Excellent work, excellent!!

Thanks, everyone.

Deadna, I'm sure the show's creators have an in depth answer for that, but I think it's mostly because it looks cool.

ok, you win.

I think that either:
A) Zombies go after anything that moves and try to eat it and since they feel no pain maybe they bite through their lips without thinking and that tears up their lips to the point that their teeth are just exposed like that.

or

B) Zombies are sloppy kissers
