Cant put my finger on it .. but there is something strange with the chest ?? Its like he is missing a rib cage. Looks cool tho!

hmm interesting zombie , i agree that something is a bit odd with the chest area, i think it may be the collar bone area and apart of the cavity structure has collapsed( it happens in real dead that are 3 months + dead bodies so its no biggie)

now all that's missing is the blood of his last meal , braaaiiinssss.

Ya the whole weird ribcage thing was what i was refering to when i said I think the pose is weak. THat and his lame arms. He is slouched over, but it looks kinda dumb. And he is not a zombie. Its just some monster thing. Thanks for the imput, much appreiciated.

cool man,
I looked at your site,
I like your work.
Did you do any art school? or all just on your own time?

just curious,
keep up the good work.

Gas - I swear im gunna start drawing more often and ill post a paint tut SOON.

Tad -I went to school for graphic design. I had like one illustration class - im still pissed they didnt offer more. School will only get you as far as you are willing to take yourself. I had an awesome color theory teacher, but the rest of my teachers were below saticfactory. I personaly think the best way to improve is to constantly hang out with other artists, preferably ones that are a lot better than you!
