The images shown left are what i believed to be the most "convincing zombies" when i searched them up on the internet. The images shown right is myself replicating the look as realistically as i could.
I think the most captivating thing i found when doing this research was eyes. I was immediately drawn to them, because of their piercing hold they had. This then made me decide that when creating the make-up for our terrifying zombie, we would have to pay close attention to detail on the eyes, making them as fearful and ---- as possible. In particular using white contact lesnse creates an immediate deathly evil look, with the upper and lower lid shaded in with blacks, reds, pinks or purples, this outlining the eye whilst also giving it more depth and a seemingly tired appearance.
Another thing that really added to the zombies realism, is fake blood. In all of the images above theres seems to be a re-occuring pattern of being covered in blood. Whether it's splatters from their previous victims, or deep gasses from their own wounds, zombies always have some blood on them. This is why i also emphasised this as much as i could by covering my face, and mouth in particular. I also created different types of blood effects by using tissue and rags to blot on big clumps (as wounds). Physically put the fake blood in my mouth then dribbled it back out, showing the blood of the victim, once the zombie has feasted on them. To get the blood splatters, i got another person to fling the fake blood at me using a paintbrush. Giving the illusion that the zombies victims blood has spurted out at me.
