I started this a while ago, as a redo of a piece that didn't came out quite the way i wanted it to (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=5922.msg69650#msg69650), but I never got anywhere with it. Thus, this isn't a brand spanking new piece, tho I never finished, nor posted it anywhere.
Dunno if it's in compliance with the challenge rules, if not, just remove it from the entry list.
In any case, I enjoyed finishing it, and I hope you'll enjoy it too.
Cheers /vedsten

Thanks w-alligator, and to everybody else for the comments. I know it must be annoying as this was almost disqualified, I'm sorry :/ Your entry was very cool btw. @ BBill: I agree, shading is a tad overdone, espc. on the old lady zombie. @ Adam: Yea, colors would've improved it, My initial idea was to go with a bluish lightsource from right and a yellowish from the molotov, didn't have the time unfortunatly . Nice edit btw. @ Everyone who mentioned it, yea the lightning could've used some dithering or something to break it up.

I dont like it, the shading and lightning is badly made and the picture is overall boring.

Awesom shading work... I always find gray a difficult color to shade properly. Same as brown. 5/5.

I personally think the monochrome PLUSRED look is overdone. And I think the living fellow could use some teeth showing. My favorite is the the zombie veiled in darkness towards the back.

I think this one's my favorite. Cool lighting effects.

This truly is reminiscent of George Romero's NOTLD and captures the Zombie mythos perfectly. My only crit would be to add a dash of red, the blood on the door frame would be perfect for it.
minipuck (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 10/22/2008 7:43:06 AM
i vote for him, it's not like he edited a old piece in my eyes. He completely re-did it so its a completely new work

very nice, maybe some red color areas are missing on your piece.

Dithering on the lighting might help, but I don't know if it would make it look a little sloppy or not.. I like it though, you did very good at capturing their expressions. 4/5
schrumpfkopf (Level 1 Depressed) at 10/21/2008 9:04:42 AM
good stuff - i like the lights and the resulting atmosphere a lot
Kingy (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 10/21/2008 1:42:58 AM
Definately gets my single vote... its amazing.
ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 10/21/2008 12:03:09 AM
I'm also a rule nazi, and partly to blame for not correcting this breach in time. That is the only reason this didn't get my vote as well. Great work, definitely gets a +fav from me.

Great as always, love the lightning on the zombie in the back. Best entry in the contest, though I'm a rule-nazi so cant vote for you. :/
Ok, I thnk this deserves to be 1st place in the challenge.
FAV'D

Some bits look a bit too smooth and plastic-like. I love it overall though.

Very nice!
