I kinda like the preggers zombie. alot. Or you could go with the school teacher zombie, or the doctor zombie, or nurse zombie. Police woman zombie. I don't know there are lots of things that aren't really done.
I want to get into cos-playing but I've never tried. You should come visit me for halloween and we can do it together and go trick or treating or something =p j/k.
Ummm anyway glad your morning was good. I've just got home from work and Now I'm cleaning things up and getting everything ready for school tomorrow.
I want to play some L4D2 tonight but don't know if I'll be going at it solo or playing it online.
Firefighter, paramedic, riot police, military, or even survivalist zombie. Who would be on the front lines fighting them at the start, they would be the ones infected early. Maybe a Robocop zombie if that hasn't been done yet, that would be really tough to master. Have to get the walk down with a zombie limp.
We have a zombie walk up here in October and last year there was a couple dress as Alice and the Mad Hatter zombified. Alice was carrying a half eaten white rabbit. That was an epic costume. A friend of mine went as a little zombie girl with a zombie dog. She put some fake blood on her dog and had a fake foot for the dog and her to chew on.
Skin is what makes or breaks a zombie for me really.
It's one thing to just slap on a bit of makeup and an unhealthy pallor but I love it when zombies actually look dead.
Skin desicated and leathery, hanging in strips in the places where people fighting back would claw at them. Abraded and chafed in the obvious places that always rub and scrape like knuckles, elbows and knees.
The shins are also great for open bone fractures. Any zombie that drops of a ledge is going to crack his shin bones on landing. It's just a small circular wound with some hanging skin and a bone sticking out really and you can cover most of that up by having the bone stick out through a torn trouserleg.
I like the " with-child " zombie idea.
