Sleeve notes:

With zombies trending stronger than ever, this is a must-have step-by-step presentation on how to render the undead using the most cutting-edge art and airbrush techniques, including how to achieve amazing colour combinations, photo-real textures and tons more.

"There are the campy, skeletal-clumsy zombies, the brightly coloured, comic-book-inspired zombies, even the modern, overly-realistic and fast-moving zombies. What this means for artists who have a thing for monster/horror imagery, like me," explains Worthington, "is an endless flood of possibilities to draw upon for inspiration. In this DVD, I share my approach to zombies, how I select colours and what keeps me moving forward artistically." - Gary Worthington.
