Description
Been doing the 30 Day Monster Girl Challenge over on tumblr to force myself to draw stuff that isn't work related. It had seriously been months and that would not do.Anyway, this is the drawing I did for the 12th prompt (Zombie Girl) and the most satisfied and happy I've been with any of my entries so far. Follow my #monstergirls tag on tumblr if you want to see the rest, I'll only be posting the ones I especially like here. I'm enjoying this challenge, it's making me stretch some design muscles and some characters have come out of this that I totally want to draw again!

Very creepy... O.O Though I really can't stand looking at creepy-ish stuff, this looks very good. Reminds me of the Spitter ([link] ) from Left 4 Dead 2.

Yes I've played lots of L4D2 Not sure how she reminds you of the Spitter though, their anatomy is completely different o_O I'm guessing it's the exposed teeth? On the Spitter she kind of looks like her own acid has eaten away at her face, though, whereas for mine I was going for more of the skin got torn off kind of look. I wanted her to look kind of creepy but cute at the same time, she's supposed to be giving a shy smile but with half her face destroyed and a lazy eye and her teeth exposed she can't do it properly.

Hello thar! Glad to have you
back with us here on DA.
Interesting how the serene pastel
colour palette clashes with the
subject matter. Normally garish
splashes of red and black would
be used for something like this.

Why thank you sir It's good to be back, I do miss being on here.
I was trying to do something interesting and different with the colour scheme since I tend to be too literal with my colour choices and I'm trying to push myself to try palettes that I wouldn't normally think to use. I'm really enjoying how that has been turning out!

This is what happens when Shelly goes out into the wild? Hey you! Fantastic to see you posting stuff again, miss you! Keep seeing you pop on Steam and by the time I finish what I'm doing and go to chat with you, you've vanished! Swift as a Ninja
Even though this girl has seen better days I think she's lovely! Your style is definitely getting stronger, love the colours that you've used too, simple but effective

It might very well be!
Alas, the time difference! I'll try and be on Steam more often, I don't have as much time or energy to play games at this point sadly T_T
Thanks hun, your feedback as always is important to me, and I'm glad you're supportive of me trying new things This was fun and I'd like to try drawing more zombies. The colours were an experiment too but I really like how they came out! Trying to get bolder with my colour schemes and using a wider palette
♥ Great to hear from you as always! Hope life's been treating you well.

Aww don't worry hun, I'd rather you got some rest and relaxed for a bit in your spare time than have me pester you ^^ Do what you need to <3
I watched Zombieland for the first time a few nights ago, they've got some 'tasty' references in there for improving zombie 'anatomy' xD
Of course I'm supportive We don't grow if we don't try new things ^^ And sometimes we discover something awesome by stepping out of our comfort zones
I too hope life is being kind to you, if quite hectic in your case, some work is good
