Zombie Dunny Commission

Photobucket


Hello all, I have been waiting to put this up for the last few weeks.
But I decided that I would not ruin the surprise of the toy for the person who got it for his birthday, Happy Level Up day btw.

So I was asked to do a custom zombie dunny, had so many ideas with green zombies flashing through my mind, and then i read that it kinda had to look like the guy and be brown... challenge accepted! So has to look like a zombie version, have "dead" eyes, the words "CREATE" ( the "model" has it as a tattoo on his arm) and glasses.

I went through a few designs before landing on this face design, and actually painted the body in a different way before I finished with this one.The words "CREATE" was origanly going to go over the chest on a shirt design, until I decided to sculpt ribs and there was no ways i was going to do that so I thought its a tattoo why not make it a tattoo? the glasses were a real paint, took 23 tries to make them, when I was taking the photos I put the glasses on my chair and packed away the gear... I sat on them, its a terrible sound when you hear a crunch and you know exactly what it is, worked on another pair of glasses for the next 4 hours after that, ended up getting the 6th pair right and then decided to make another one just as a spare incase it breaks in postage.

Had some fun with the packaging, painted a box black and went at it with red paint and a hard bristle brush (sorry Kronk, I know you are not a fan of blood splatter, hehe), while that dried I used a sealer and sealed the Zombie into a Dunny foil (adds effect see, like a blind box).

Next morning I head off to Postnet to post it... morons! the gave me a tracking number and then changed it... took two and a half weeks to get there, it got there TODAY! the day it was meant for. Lost my temper and moaned like crazy, will go in an apologise to the people that gave poor service, just seems you have to complain on hellopeter before they respond.

I didn't want to let this custom go, really wanted to keep it in my collection, but could not.
On another note, how cool is it that this guys girlfriend got him a custom dunny for his birthday?
Must be one of the few guys that has a girlfriend that indulges the vinyl obsession, Good on ya!

p.s. don't moan about the photos Hayley!
