"Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We're wed to one eternity..."

-- L'ame Immortelle - "One Eternity"

I FINALLY got this finished after so much fussing and actually getting some critiques on it from my Figure Drawing teacher (mostly for colouring/colour balance, textures, light/shadow, and balancing background and foreground figure. It felt good to actually get some critiques in class rather than a bunch of worthless ass-pats, even if the critique in question wasn't for a class assignment). So, I am open to critiques (as usual) from friends and watchers but I...don't think I'll be turning on the Advanced Critiques for this one...since I already got a few advanced critiques in-class to begin with.

This is Mateo HallowAxe, Henry HallowAxe's younger brother (adopted). Like Henry, Mateo was supposed to be a throwaway character in Taiki's and Matthias' backstory. During the zombie outbreak, Henry blamed Taiki for not only Matthias' death (despite having hated Matthias at the time for supposedly taking Taiki away from him), but for the zombie outbreak in the bunker as well (because Taiki and hir family supposedly lured the the vampires and then zombies there...yeeeeah..it's still a WIP) and therefore was going to shoot hir. Mateo disagreed with Henry's logic (since Henry had snapped by this point) and well, wound up with a bullet in his brain.

No one knew that Mateo had been infected with the Met-Omega virus (via zombie bite obviously) prior to his death.

Like Henry, Mateo would later be revived via some occult rituals, but rather than a vampire like his brother Henry, Mateo would find himself revived as a flesh-eating zombie due to prior infection.

Creepy Tarman walk aside, Mateo doesn't mind being a zombie save for when his craving for human flesh and brains kicks in, then his mind clouds up until his hunger is satisfied.

Extra Information

Mateo's un-life-long dream is to party with Linnea Quigley. ^.^;

Unlike other Met-Omega zombies (like Hughbert and Carla), Mateo cannot run, but walks in a Creepy Tarman Walk. It has been theorized that this is because the bullet that killed Mateo is still lodged inside his brain, and thus his motor skills are a bit limited.

This same bullet possibly causes his body to become "locked in" at random, causing him to sort of "stand stiffly in place and groan" for a few seconds.

When his cravings cloud his mind, Mateo's eyes turn white and glassy and he can only concentrate on finding a food source.

Unlike traditional zombie or other Met-Omega zombies, Mateo cannot be killed via a bullet to the brain (obviously since there's already a bullet lodged in there), and hacking him to pieces will just cause each body part to act individually.

I don't know. The funny part about RotLD was even when you burned the body of a trioxin zombie, it just made matters worse. My Met-Omega zombies don't quite have this problem, but they they can't really die via bullet to the brain.

Well, I guess I just like monsters to have the classic ways of death. Don't give me sparkle-y vampires that have skin like marble so they never die. lol

lolz. Now there's something I can agree on with Sparkle-pires. Actually zombies weren't always walking dead until Romero and Russo came along, but rather more like people under a form of mind control. "White Zombie" with Bella Lugosi comes to mind with this one.

Yeah, if you've seen "White Zombie" with Bella Lugosi then that's what zombies were like before. Original zombies were people who were given a poison which made them appear dead. ^.^;

I think you cursed me as I had not one but two Zombie dreams last night. In one we found out the mango juice causes them to turn back, but getting them to drink it was hard. lol In both I had a guy, not sure who he is but I hope I find him without a Zombie-Apocalypse.

Oh lord I'm sorry. But hey, at least you found a man, right?

I don't know who's the scarier zombie: Dr. Freudstein (from House by the Cemetery), Tarman (from RotLD) or the Zombie's from Zombi 2.

Yeah, it was something like, "I've waited this long..." lol I guess that does kinda scare me with dating, not that I'm really dating at the moment.

HotaruThodt In reply to immortalmina [2012-04-25 22:12:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, if you waited this long might as well keep waiting. I don't want to see anyone do like Zena and my cousin where just as soon at they can they loose their virginity to two big asshole. O.<; *twitch*
Meh, I've given up on dating right now. I need to focus on my schooling and if a guy shows up then he will. I'm not going out of my way to look.

Hey thanks. I feel I should make my guys a little more manly though. I made them a bit too soft featured at times I think, but Mateo's okay since he's a teenager, albeit a dead one.

How can you not remember Tarman? Tarman, Trash's striptease, and the "It hurts to be dead" scenes are what stick out most for me from when I first saw RotLD when I was a kid. I frakking love Tarman, using a hook and winch takes BRAINS!

I can't take full credit for the outfit since it's what he wears in my Sims 2 game. I found it both elegant and grungy and he should wear it in NeverRealms even when nomming on some tasty brains.

The birds are by *mysticmorning Now I'm sad because I didn't makes them myself.

lolz. I would recommend watching it, but it's hard to relate to in other parts of the country (Midwestern US in the 70s is ALOT different than the Southern US in the 70s), so I figure that would go along with watching it in other countries as well. >.>;
