2


This is my final front view of my zombie face, I’m happy with outcome from my photoshop work. I’ve captured the grim and scary representation of a zombie to my liking. From my original picture I’ve changed dramatically but been able to keep my facial features with make me recognisable, even when I’m un-dead you can still make out that it’s me.
Noticeable features are the teeth and worn skin around my right eye. Using photoshops crop tool I was able to transfer the teeth over to my original picture and place the image onto a separate layer, after this I turned the transparency down so I could line it up properly and begin to change my jaw and mouth structure to suit the image, afterwards using the burn and brush tool I applied tones and highlights to key parts of my face to bring attention to the areas of interest.

Using the burn tool and insert the image I was able to blend and smudge the image properly. 
For my reference I used many different images from sources like The walking dead's, Greg Nicotero. He is incredibly talented at zombie make up and his great work gave me awesome ideas for my photoshop work.
The two images on the side are my main source for my work, recreating the worn down and dry skin from the first image was difficult but my end results was what I had in mind.
Lowering the transparency of the edited image and using the crop tool I could remove the edges which didn't fit and made the image look more realistic.
The second image was my reference for my head shape and I also edited the mouth and recreated it. Tpyical zombie has his/her face shape very unhealthy looking, the eye sockets and jaw are more deprived of flesh and healthy look. I wanted to recreate this by using the liquefying tool and carefully modifying my face but keeping the resemblance of my original photo.
