My first attempt at a zombie self portrait...(kinda graphic....but not really)

So....im obsessed with zombies, and I thought it would be kinda cool to take a picture of myself, and try to "zombifiy" it as much as possible. The background was just a white background and i messed with the "fibers" filter in photoshop (its under render). Then, I messed with some lighting effects, added a sepia-ish tone to an omni lighting effect to give it an old, dingy, flashlight look. Its not perfect....im not exactly happy with the eyes...and I'm sure I could do better with the blood on the shirt and face. I just want some criticism....maybe some ideas that other people have that could improve the photo.

bump to the top

....you're scaring the people jfc......

The first one works better IMO, maybe a touch more contrast but not as much as in #2.
This might sound like heavy criticism, but it's really not - just some artistic suggestions to make it pop .
I think you need a shadow behind you on the right (just a bit) and the eyes are a bit flat. I know you mentioned it, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix - some shading in the corners and smooth edges should do it. I'd also exaggerate the frown and darken the blood on his shirt a little (more like #2). Nice concept piece!

thanks man

Those a cool. The first one looks like it for a movie and the second one a cover of a comic book.

Try putting the eyes back in. Much can be said through the eyes, expessially with some good Photoshoping. Also, try making a layer with the second one on top and mask out portions at different opacity levels. I think you could have a master piece then.

i thought about putting the eyes back in....just not exactly sure what i wanna do with them....
I don't want a normal iris and pupil....

but thanks man

Why not try keeping your eyes, but making them look all milky? Add a layer with white painted over the eyes and lower the opacity to get that effect?

I would try to make the whites all yellow and blood clotty looking. Desaturate the iris, and and try shades of white or red for the pupil.

NEW EDIT!!! Now with eyes...
