I had come across this image while looking up a project idea for another class. I believe the composition and cool colors is really what drew me to this picture. The artist has positioned the zombie in a way that its body combined with the grave hole produce the letter "Z." What I also liked is that in making the zombie appear as a "Z" it does not look like an abnormal pose that one may see a zombie in. I like that the main focus is kept on the foreground object and the background is very minimal, but yet feels as if it is still complete. The color choice is also nice for this picture, only three colors are used besides black and white. Normally zombies are depicted as green or grey but here it's blue with touches of orange to bring out certain aspects of the picture. The name on the tombstone was also a clever idea. It reads "Sumrow," which is the artists las name. The name isn't displayed in a fancy way and is even kind of hard to read, but adds a nice original touch to it. Adding in aspects of the zombie in the word zombie also was I believe better that just using plain old font. It really tied the image and type together into one whole picture.
The use of the complimentary colors really makes the image pop. The orange stands out so much against the contrasting blue. Also, I agree with you that the composition is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty fantastic example of an artist shining through what would otherwise be a boring and predictable assignment. The color scheme and line work show that this artist has some skill and the detailed background is just icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteHow festive. zombie party up in this blog lol
ReplyDeletei like the fact that darker colors were used in this illustration. but it doesn't make the image boring, there's the blue that was used that makes it pop a little more.
