Another Walking Dead

A group of survivals has to fight against the dictator in a zombie wasteland.

In the year of 2099, a virus outbreak had spread around the world, transforming the infected human host into a cannibalistic monster which eventually wide out most of the population of human race. The survivals can only live in a quarantine fortress. Years passed. The survivals had built up the largest, safest quarantine fortress in the country, know as Olympus. Refugees would travel across the zombie wasteland to enter the sanctuary, only realize it is a place ruled by a cruel dictator.

Character and zombie designs

It was my first time drawing apocalypse theme and I enjoyed it. It's all about thinking outside the box and uses broken old objects as multi purpose to survive. 

The Big Boss have proper armor and weapon since he is the evil leader.

Helena and Eric have more handmade armor and weapons for protection because they went to outside of their hideout often. 

Sheryl and Charles spent all day in their hideout so armor is not necessary. 

For the zombie, I added weapons on the body to show that he is very strong and hard or impossible to kill. The clothes were torn because the body had grow into huge size and the virus infected his whole body leaving him look disgusting and dirty.

Zombie turnaround

The challenging thing that I spent most time working on it was the position of the weapons on him and his torn cloth in different angles.

Key moment thumbnails and final outcome

 I sketched some thumbnails of the humans either hiding, defending themselves or escaping from the zombies attack in different locations.

I went with warehouse because it's the most interesting one to think of fun ways for the characters to defend themselves and escape using the equipment in the warehouse. In the shot, Eric's driving a forklift to escape and crash zombies at the same time while Helena's using her weapon to get zombie off the vehicle.

 Among these works, I enjoyed the key moment the most. It's an epic shot with movements and you can see that each characters' action and reaction. I liked that it guilds people's eyes slowly to see what's going on this shot.
