Well, right now, I'm working on a little Halloween surprise for the Fraternity. My plan is to deliver yet another Halloween gift to you all this coming October.

What I need from people are zombie pictures! Anyone who can email me a zombie pic of their own creation would be of great help. Feel free to get creative, go crazy, do whatever you like. I can provide direction if you need, but right now I simply need the art.

Email the pics to deathred@gmail.com. It's a temporary email I've set up for this express purpose.

While I can personally offer no monetary compensation for any artwork submitted (this is going to be a fan-based netbook), remember that I'm still working in the industry. People who show promising work will have their artwork passed on to the powers-that-be.

What I would like to see is this:
1) Some pictures of your proto-typical zombie. The shuffling, moaning, menacing zombies that everyone is familiar with.
2) The more modern "fast" zombie, like in 28 Days Later or the recent Dawn of the Dead - these zombies can run. Fast.
3) A very large zombie, probably about 10 feet tall. This one would have titantic size and scale (kind of like the Hulk).
4) Fairly vascular zombies with promenent veins and arteries.

What genre/epoch should the pics represent? Standard Ravenloft? Masque? Modern? How about demihumans?

I would be open to symbiote zombies.

As far as genre goes, the Zompocalypse mini-campaign will be something that definately fits into Ravenloft. This is not a modern mini-source book. This is not something alternative to the Ravenloft setting. This is something that is meant for the common DM to use in their Ravenloft game.

I have this evil, yet happy feeling in my guts now.

As my girlfriend is also interested in this idea, she had a couple of questions she wanted me to pass across:

1) What is the deadline? Obviously it's before Halloween, but how much before Halloween?

2) Are paintings acceptable or do all pictures need to be drawn?

3) Do you want color or black-and-white pictures? Can you even use color pictures, or would everything have to be switched to greyscale anyway?

Thanks in advance for the answers, and thanks for having such a nifty idea to begin with, Mr. Lilavivat!

After going over my material, I'll put the deadline at Oct. 1st. I didn't put down a deadline initially, because I wanted to see what kind of interest there was for this project.

Paintings are definately acceptable. Drawings are as well, of course. If you do submit drawings, try ink them if possible.

The Zompocalypse mini-campaign will be published in color, so if you submit color pictures, that would be acceptable. If you only have black and white material, we will take that as well.

Are non-humanoid (animal or monster) zombies acceptable?
