Page 11: Total Domination
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007This page is awesome. After seeing this piece by artist Owen Gieni I knew I was going to need something similar for Last Blood, and he didn’t disappoint. I especially love the teeth and the ear, but the whole thing is pretty spectacular. If only we could duplicate that on film. We’ll see.
“Total Domination” is something I often say while watching friends of mine win poker tournaments online, describing how they’re dominating the table and winning easily, even if they’re not — I just like saying it. So I thought it would be an appropriate title for this page, as that zombie got completely owned.

I love how the lower jaw bones are still intact, and the upper half of the skull is just blown off.
Also, you might be able to achive that effect by either using animation, or by making a model or something, with charges set in certain places.

Although, I doubt that any living person’s head would have fallen in half like that. That’s why zombies are cool. Nobody’s really sure what the level of resistance is.
That zombie in the background looks a little scared. Maybe they’re smarter than they look. Or maybe it’s just looking zombieish. Mysteries.

I really love the artists work on all of his sites… even though this is a huge departure from his normal style I am glad to see that he is really doing some quality work. The main problem I forsee is that he is doing too good a job 🙂 when it comes time to shoot the movie your going to have a hard time recreating the effects hes managed here. Its hard to tell someone that they are doing too good a job though…. keep up the great work!

Yeah, Owen’s the best. Hopefully we’ll get a decent sized budget on the film and get some cool special effects and makeup work done.

I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping that the special effects budget will be enough to have the camera follow the bullet at full speed until it hits the zombie, when it will switch to slow motion as the head flies apart and then back to full speed as the explosion finishes.
Ideally, at this point the nine inch nails soundtrack will kick in.

I’m not sure actually, but if you join this site you can probably find out the answer —

That’s how they produced the effect for romero. Create a dummy head (reusable) with plates that interconnect making up everything above the jawline. You can mold clay onto the head for features. Then pack the blood packs and misc brain materials into the skull cavity and blow it all up.
