Zombies are the most clichéd monsters on the planet, but somehow we still love the idea of being chased by the undead. With Adobe Photoshop, it's easy to turn photos of friends, family, or yourself into a zombie nightmare come true.

Creature creator Rayce Bird, the winner of Face Off, shows how to take a normal portrait and turn it into a hideously frightening zombie with Photoshop. He starts at the very beginning: finding the right image to zombify. He then shifts to "preparing the canvas," where he makes some initial adjustments to get the image going in the right scary direction. From there, it's all about the details, including teeth, veins, bone, blood, color correction, and the proper lighting. In the end, members will have a perfectly horrific zombie version of themselves.

Topics include:

  • Finding the right reference images
  • Making anatomy changes with the Liquify tool
  • Creating custom texture brushes
  • Adding zombie features: bone, blood, and gore
  • Adding color
  • Adjusting the lighting
