The Digit-al Dozen Does Summer, Day Five: Summer...And Zombies!

Hi everyone! For the final day of this week's Digit-al Dozen challenge, I wanted to draw on something that perhaps we can all relate to. I'm talking about that experience of enjoying a nice summer's day, only to run into...zombies! It can really suck if they are the fast moving, ferocious kind, and a minor inconvenience if they are the slow moving, stupid kind - but in both cases it's definitely a drag. I wanted to capture that with this design.

No really I'm kidding. I just wanted to paint zombie silhouettes and I thought it would be fun to sneak it into this week's "Summer" theme. :)

To get this look:

Many of the polishes I used are the same as the ones I used for days 2, 3, and 4. I kinda get lazy and just use what's on the table already. But since I've been doing mostly flowers/landscapes, it make sense.

Final Thoughts: 

I kinda did this as a joke, but I rather like how it turned out. It makes me want to paint more zombies and zombie apocalypses (or whatever the plural of apocalypse is).

What do you think of this? Have you enjoyed Digit-al Dozen Summer week?

  2. This is funny. And even just being silhouettes you could tell what they are, very well executed. Cute nails for halloween, or any time :P

  7. Oh my gosh, this is hysterical. You're right--it can be a total drag to run into zombies in the middle of the summer! I mean, just look at what happened in Night of the Living Dead!!
