Mystic Creatures


The Zombie is traditionally an undead person in the Caribbean spiritual belief system of voodoo. Essentially a dead body re-animated by unnatural means, the zombie creates dread among the living.

Zombies have become a staple of horror fiction, where they usually engage in the consumption of human flesh. Horror artists love zombies because there are no real limits on how they can be drawn. Anything from a pale, almost normal human to a rotting corpse at any stage of decompositon is acceptable. There is lots of opportunity here to create a collage of morphed dog pictures, with nasty human remains on a backdrop of church cemetery pictures.
