Zombie double pack!

So, today we unleash two characters from our comic and yes it's what you've been waiting for, two ZOMBIES! While still human, these two soldiers were part of a secret experiment called „Orcinianus Copia“. They, along with others from their battalion were injected with a modified snake poison, that was supposed to turn them into super-soldiers. Well, things don't go exactly the way the German high-command had planned.
Enjoy!

Sgt. Hoskins

Sorry folks, I messed up. I forgot to post a blog last night. Well, I have a good excuse, I was working on the layout of "All Undead…" and got so carried away, that I completely forgot to to post our next figure featured in our animated comic. 
Ok, so today I present Sgt. Hoskins. He leads a battalion that attack the German defenses on that fateful day in April 1918. As he and his men approach the enemy lines, he realizes that the German soldiers are behaving in a peculiar way. I`ll leave it up to your imagination to figure out the rest.
Well, here he is:

The "Grenade-Goof" Scene (film footage)

Hello, fellow Zombie-freaks! As I mentioned last week, we would be posting the film version of the "grenade-goof" scene. It was fun to film, because we roughly knew what we wanted, but one of us kept cracking up with laughter while shooting. It took about ten takes to complete, even though it looks so easy. Enjoy!
