You'll notice the first post says "would love to hear what people think", without the rider "unless I'm not going to like what people think".

It is pretty simple, though. You select the background easily enough, then the t-shirts, loop around any text*, the trousers are simple at that point, leaving you with skin and hair. Select the hair(pretty simple), then invert selection. Lower the saturation, go over with a bit of purple, add a new layer, plop on a nice crackly pattern, then select merge down at 35% with Burn, or possibly Darken. Add some slight details with black then pepper with a low concentration of Burn with a large brush.
Too much burn hurts my eyes these days. Probably because I used to use it to excess.

And however well I do something is beside the point so I won't rise to your silly challenge.

But...yeah.

*I refuse to select all, then deselect. I'm an 'invert the selection' boy.

Caught out, m'boy. You replied to the part where he said "It's not about the photoshop, it's about the clothes", but then deleted it.

Always refresh.

Any questions punt them this way....

I'm trying to work out why in the hell someone needed 80 layers to do a basic zombie photoshop job?

In fact, here would be a fun one, if you still ave the base pics, and are up for it, stick up one or 2 originals and let us moany lot take a shot and undeadifying your models up?

Hell, you might end up with a couple of folk you could slip some pennied to if you have any more projects needing done if you like their work

I would love to be a great make up artist however time and budget merited that the gore be added in post production.

If she is saying that, though, I kinda agree. Well, no, actually... Zombies are still cool as fuck, but I'm a bit tired of seeing them on Youth Large size t-shirts, topped-off by those LostProphets Studded Belts and sidesheds. People like this ruin horror movies and retro video games for me.

Ok I see your point about trends in fashion and how you aren't a fan of flash in the pan fads of fashion. I haven't seen the zombie theme being played out in fashion a lot? Maybe I have my head shoved in the ground however I didn't just sit on my arse and decide to take a burn tool to my photos and say "wow I'll plonk some zombie themes around to sell my t-shirts as everyone is doing it". Theres only one t-shirt on my store that is to do with zombies, its just the marketing and brand that revolves around a zombie theme.

Should I change it as its been done to death? No, why should I? I haven't seen another company or person take it the full way. Christ theres enough people who do their t-shirts, designs etc half ass in general and I'm not one of them.

Absolutely. Postive or negative.

I assume that TheCastrator's use of photoshop is of some incredible high standard that I would be dazzled by it and fall on the ground crying at its mighty glory.

Bullshit. Why react so negatively and even slighty insulted by me posting some of my work? Great welcome to the forums. And don't dare post how you think I did my own work. Using photoshop isn't something I've just taken up, I finished my photography course years ago at the (now) Met college so don't start on how I'm an amatuer and just decided to have a bash at photoshop.

A basic zombie manip? Is this show-me-how-ace-you-are-at-photoshop hour? Sure I'll post up one of the original base photos and if anyone does a better zombie manip then they can shove it up their ass.

I have a great set of shots that sell my clothes very well already, cheers though. In the end the shots do what they were designed to do: promote Bite Mark and sell the clothes I make. If they gross out/piss off anyone, great. I'd rather have people look at the clothes than have them ignored.

To be honest it was bloody deserved

. Some of the people on here are quite happy to sling shite far too easily especially at new users, it would be nice if some people understood that just cause someone post up there work asking for comments theres NO FUCKING NEED to to be a dick about it.

In this case there was no requirement to act all high and mighty about "how amateur it appeared". Sure offer tips on how you'd do it better or a different ways of doing, don't act like a five year old going "thats shite".

After seeing some of the stuff you guys have done before in that style I'd quite like to see that actually
