My Highschool Sweetheart is a combination of traditional character design with a hint of theatrical storytelling embedded in the design itself. Although it's not a regular practice of mine, there's a lot of enjoyment in drawing Zombies. Dramatic weight distribution and exposed anatomy poses many technical artistic challenges.
From an artists perspective, what draws me to illustrating zombies is the story behind the zombie. Who were they prior to being "zombified". To me, this makes for a more meaningful character design. A zombie alone is well...just a zombie! Realizing that she was once a beautiful young lady exposes you to the tragedy of who she's become...or at least, who she no longer is.
