Been A Long Time, My Bad

Hey Guys! How has Everyone been doing lately?? I know it's been awhile, so I apologize. I figured, I update my FB page practically daily so I didn't think a new blog was needed. Plus, I wanted my next post to be about the updates on the future of ZOMBIFIED. But it's been too long so that's why I'm writing one now.

So for ZOMBIFIED, I've been working on the last two of Series 2 and it's been taking a lot of time. Mostly because I had to go a step back a couple of times to get the poses right because each picture is dealing with two Zombies. And they dealt with some new poses that I haven't approached yet so it was a bit challenging and is one of the main reasons why it's been taking this long. After the outlines are done and the details are finalized everything else will go by a lot quicker.

Once those two are done, I plan on working on the new banner immediately, but it may not be up for awhile because I don't want it to be up until I move into the next phase which includes a NEW ZOMBIFIED FB.

I really don't have much else to say, everything else is really about the next phases for ZOMBIFIED so until Zombies #19 and 20 are done, I'll catch you all later! Thanks for swingin by! PEACE!!

Updated Thoughts About Updates

Hey Guys! So I know on Facebook, I mentioned about having a new blog posted up, but I kinda got lost in focus for the last two Zombies. Plus, it gave me more clarity on what I want to do for the next phases of ZOMBIFIED.

TRADEMARK
I am currently looking into trademarking ZOMBIFIED as a small business. I have a couple of links covering the basics of trademarking and copyrighting.

 

 Series 1 & 2

As some of you may know, I am currently working on Zombie #17, which is involving a couple. So I'm even closer to reaching #20! And you know what's next right? A new banner presenting Zombie #'s 11-20!! I'm pretty damn stoked, actually. And THEN, I am going to create a separate Facebook account for ZOMBIFIED alone, so that means I'm going to re-tag Everyone that I've ZOMBIFIED so far.

*For those who have been ZOMBIFIED, or haven't been but WANT to be, I would like to have your permission to include a reference photo of yourself that I used and will use to make a before-and-after picture. If you want, you can even choose the photo that you would want me to use. The main purpose is to show the new viewers the outcome of being ZOMBIFIED.*

This is something I plan on using for the official ZOMBIFIED site, as well.

When I begin the next series of Zombies (#'s 21-30), the prices will increase. This time, I plan on charging $10/hour based on an eight hour day.

*MINOR SPOILER ALERT* As I move forward with ZOMBIFIED, I plan on subtly creating a little story behind the Zombies and connecting them. I think this will make the ZOMBIFIED experience a little more fun and entertaining for the viewers. So if you're a fan of the project, DEFINITELY keep an eye out for those details.

ZOMBIE ANIMATION "It's Zombie Time"
A long time ago, I illustrated an image showcasing my Zombie animation idea involving four survivors (including myself along with friends who you may know) trying fight for their lives against a horde.

I was thinking about this before and I've decided that I would like to incorporate the ZOMBIFIED victims with the animation, which again I would like to have your permission to do so.

I believe that is everything that I needed to share so far. Honesty, I've said this before, but if it wasn't for ALL of you I wouldn't have been able to bring the project this far. Let alone, making a decent amount of money, which has been a great help allowing me to get by in life with all of these bills I've been struggling to pay. So again, I thank you. And PLEASE, spread the word, you guys have been doing a great job and I encourage you to keep it up. ^__^

So that's it for tonight. I thank you all for taking the time to swing by and keeping up to date with ZOMBIFIED. I'll catch you all on the flip side, Everyone have a great night!

PEACE

What? A Video Blog??

Yup, just like what the title says. I was a little too lazy to type everything and also I just wanted to experiment with video blogging. So check out the video for details and updates! ^__^

Freeday

Sup Dudes and Duderettes! I present to you..... (if you haven't seen it already).. Zombie #13 Jane! Hopeyoulike!

Awhile back, I've mentioned about custom designing these little toy keychains to look like your Zombie-selves or just random Zombies. And now I finally have one to use as a sample. I just really hope I can fit the detail that I want to include in them, but I'll be keeping you guys updated. I may even film the session(s) when I work on them.

And now it's time to chillax after a long week at work. I ended up passing out for a few hours earlier which I hate because then I wake up around between 3-6pm. So I'm gonna chillax and have myself a beer and possibly end the night with some illustration work.

Stay tuned and swing by my Facebook for other details! PEACE!

Pooping with my Cat

What's up Guys?! So I've been trying to keep busy and slowly dig myself out of this dark hole. Slowly but surely. I'll try to make this short, but what's been happenin is that I recent designed a heart shape cut out for work for my manager to enter in a contest. Also, there's another contest that I'm going to enter in for a music artist who goes by the name, Ozwald Bozwald. Check out his song on his website, it's called "Other Side of the Moon".For those who don't know about it, the winner gets $1000, which may be a long shot to win but I gotta try anyway. Plus, I need the money like crazy.

Also, I worked on three recent new Zombies. Here are #'s 11 and 12 and a teaser for #13.

If not this weekend, then next week I am going to work on #14. So stay tuned on my Facebook for updates on ZOMBIFIED, the details on the contest, and I will catch you all laters! PEACE!

Whataday..

Hey Guys, so today was sort of a rough day. Work was exhausting and then after paying my bank back, I practically spent the rest of my check for my sister's car. What sucked the most was getting rear ended on the way back from the bank.

So it's time to bust out some Zombies.. In case you haven't seen on Facebook, I am going to raise up the prices for ZOMBIFIED. Instead of it costing $20 per digital copy and $25 per print, it will now be $30 per digital copy and $35 per print. I tagged people from my client list to see what they had to say and I will go with the majority's decision. So far, they're giving me the green light. And I've gained a few more clients, which made me feel a lot better.

This morning, at work, I also came up with a neat idea.. At work, we sell these little toys and key chains called Doodle Budz, which you get to color and decorate yourselves. So basically, I'm going to buy a bunch of key chains and design them based off of the ZOMBIFIED Zombies! I dunno, it sounds like a good and fun idea to me. I probably won't have a prototype until a few weeks from now, but I will definitely keep you posted.

That's all I have for now, I will catch you all latas.

Waazzzaaaaaahhhhpp!!

Hey Everyone, how goes it? So far things are lookin alright on my end, the ZOMBIFIED project is moving along quite well! As I'm zombifying people, the client list continues to grow bit by bit. So that's good. I recently made a ZOMBIFIED banner featuring the first ten Zombies..

I also finished Zombie #11, which I will be posting up on my Facebook page soon. For now here's a little teaser..

I wonder who that is....... ;) Anways, August is approaching fairly quick and I remember a long time ago, I was talking about projects to include in my next demo reel. So starting August, I'm gonna get back into the grind with that, hopefully I won't have to push it back any further. With that said, this is gonna be test to see if I can even distribute my time for all these projects I have ahead of me.

That's all I got for now, I should actually be sleeping by now considering I have to be at work by 4am. So good night all, I will see ya on the flip side!
