Zombies, Lipstick, and Color:)

A couple weeks ago, a girl named Jess contacted me about doing an anniversary present for her husband of one year. That sounded fun-- seeing how she was such a cute girl, with pretty blond hair and a great smile (so easy to draw;)! But then, she made it 100X more fab when she asked if I could do them both as zombies!!:) Put the date of their wedding somewhere in the artwork...and a couple sayings that mean something to the both of them. I was really stoked! Literally, if I only drew zombies for a living, I'd be okay with that;) They are so much fun. Here is the finished product...Don't they make a cute zombie couple??!

I switched gears a couple days ago and did a really girly drawing. My Lipstick Princess:)I love her big green eyes. Big blond hair. And no shoes this time:). Cuz she likes to dance around in her stocking feet.

Sometimes the most fun part of a piece of artwork is coloring it in...deciding whether to do red or blond hair...green or blue eyes...and what color/pattern clothing. Do you have a favorite color combination??...I love weird colors together...like turquoise and brown. Red and pink. Orange and pink...Hmmm, lots of combos I really love. Could go on and on!! What's a color combo that you're drawn to?

  1. Ooooh - colour combinations? Orange & purple (crocus colours) ever since I can remember I was going to have those for my wedding (I actually had deep burgundy red, cream & green with touches of pale blue. Lipstick Princess just has the edge for me but I have to say I'm rather struck by your xombies - off in search of a definition for "zombie"........now you've made me think again & surprise myself too.

  2. What an awesome anniversary present!! You rock at zombiefied stuff!! I love the little rips in their clothing and how you've grounded the whole image. Plus - those clouds are dreamy!!

    My Lipstick Princess is just that! I LOVE her pose and the rosette in her hair! Her stockinged feet are super cool.

    Fave colour combo, gotta be blues and browns!!

  4. Oh Krista - I adore the zombie couple. What a fabulous idea - as my daughter would say "too school for cool" (yes, she loves P!nk hehe) and your lipstick gir. Hm - maybe a little whisper in Karen's ear would be wonderful as she looks fun to colour.

    Hugs, Mette

  8. Hiya Krista,

    You never rest do you? Ha ha
    It's hard to switch off eh? All things are an inspiration!

    Like the zombies, CUTE Zombie - Never thought I would put those 2 words in the same sentence ha ha!

    Lipstick Princess is amazing too - love the frills and the stocking feet- a step up and a sister to "Pillow Talk" (Love that Stamp).

    Have a great day and keep your wonderful designs coming - Thank you!

    Take care
    Big Hugs
