31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023:
Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021)
Hey, Day 10--It's almost one-third of the way through this vainglorious, self-imposed challenge! So far I am (barely) keeping on schedule. Of course, I was hoping I would be able to actually get ahead a little bit more so I could give myself a bit more breathing room. Here's to hoping!
Anyhoo, this time it's the Australian action zombie movie, "Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021). It's mostly hammy and over-the-top, the story goes through all the tropes and is paint-by-numbers, but the special effects and make-up are generally pretty good. This picture features a remote-controlled zombie used by the evil scientist to do his dirty work. And, once again, it scanned much more harsh than the original painting. Oh, well.
Although, I will give one bit of free advice to future Zombie/Horror directors: If you have the zombies breathing out some weird, green miasma, it's just gonna look like they have really bad halitosis and are doing a commercial for mouth wash. So, you may wanna avoid that.
This was done with Acrylic Paint and a limited palette of: Paynes Gray, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Turquoise Deep, and Cadmium Red Deep.

STEP ONE: Here is a quick breakdown done in Paynes Gray and Titanium White to suggest the general layout on the page. It is painted on an 8-1/2" x 11" extra thick cardstock which was primed with a 50/50 mix of gesso and matte medium.

STEP TWO: And here's the first pass with a thin layer of various colors to just try to get paint on the page.

STEP THREE: It's the finished painting done with lots and lots and lots of back-and-forth and thinly painted layers.
