Zombiefied People

Press D again and select the Burn-Tool once more and after selecting the original layer again, brush a little darkness over the places where you placed the blood to make some blood-stains look even darker and dirtier. Gross!

Now on a new layer, grab your brush and set it to 1px or 2px and use a red color to brush small strokes around the mouth making it look like blood is dripping out of the mouth. You can set the blending-mode again to Multiply or Overlay depending on the darkness of red you used.

I used the standard red and set the layer to Multiply just like the other blood-layer to make it look the same.

On a new layer, grab a white brush of 2px-5px and brush a little over the eyes to make them look all white and undead. Which is weird, considdering the zombies are dead. Nevermind that. Just make the pupils be gone with this effect!

With the image again supplied from the awesome sxc.hu, place the skull-image found below into your document and adjust the size a little so you can see all of it. We're gonna crop it down even more, but just make sure it's small enough to be completely seen, but not smaller then the head of your photo!

Now press Ctrl+T to make the skull the same size as the head of your photo and rotate it if needed to make sure it fits over the head of your photo perfectly!

Grab your Eraser again and brush away all the parts you do not need. I chose for a part of the jaw I wish to keep. Then just remove all that!

Then press Ctrl+U to drag the middle slider again a little to the left to make it look greyer. Make it look like the bone coming out of his/her arm.

Create a layer above the skull and press Ctrl+G or Ctrl+Shift+G to mask it with the layer below and use a soft black brush to brush a little shadow at the top. Again, lower the opacity if it's too much.

And just as with the face, grab a 1px or 2px red brush and paint a little drips on a new layer. Again, set it to Multiply.

The Big Wound

Now because my image has a plain white background, this step is a lot easier for me. If you are using an image with a background that is filled with objects, you will need to follow my Invisible People-tutorial to learn how to remove unwanted skin or body from a filled background.

For those of you who have the same image or an image with a white background, make a new layer and use a white brush to paint a cut over the belly.

And with the same settings as last time you used the Burn-Tool, grab it again and on the original layer, brush around the hole and make it look like an actual bite or rip is out of the body. Pay close attention to the angle you're looking at and the facts that area's which are deeper then others, are also darker.

And again, use the same settings used for adding blood to the body to paint some more blood dripping from the gaping hole of her belly.

And with the exact same settings, on a layer below the white cut, add some more blood using the AngryBlue-brushes to make it look nice and dirty.

Remember, it's a zombie. Not your partner (or maybe that's what you *are* working on), but you don't have to be gentil. Make it as dirty and gross as possible!

Final Touches

Hey, let's also add a gunshotwound, because who here hasn't shot a zombie? Well probably no-one, but imagine if zombies *were* infesting the earth. Then you'd shoot one yeah!

With the exact same settings as before, use the Burn-Tool to brush a little more bruises and a little hole in his/her arm.

And then with the same settings for the blood again, make some blood drip out of the hole as if the wound was fresh!

Conclusion

Now let's put the two images next to each other shall we? As you can see, you did an amazing job. If you followed all steps, your zombie looks real, sick and dirty. Have fun with this technique! And try to experiment with different photo's. If you got an amazing outcome, post it in the comments and if it's good, I'll post it in the tutorial so everyone can see your creation!
