“Fast”
Originally created for a Halloween contest with the theme “Urban Legends”. It was inspired by multiple urban legends about how “(friend of a friend) went to (restaurant chain) and ordered (fast food item) and found a (really gross something) in it.” (Ok, so, The legends don’t normally involve a zombie behind the counter, but hey, it was a Halloween contest, after all!) Rendered in Poser Pro 2010, lighting tweaked in Photoshop (one curves layer, one hue/sat layer only) … box, nuggets, fries & tray modeled in Wings specifically for this image. Custom materials (fried nugget batter, etc.) in Poser. The cup model (not mine) was tweaked to bulge the lid for the tail to come out and to give it the ‘chain stripes’. Starting with the chicken head in the box I worked outward … tray, cup, zombie, dipping ‘sauce’, fries, then finally the restaurant background and a few ‘touches’ (“hello there, you under the coffeepot!”). Whole process took about 15 hours. The title of the image is “Fast”. This is either a reference to fast food, at what speed you should turn and run, or an alternate meal suggestion… Print at redbubble: http://www.redbubble.com/people/blueknot/art/6444136-1-fast
