Sections of the explosion, yeah.

**Crazy Knife** · 24th October 2009

Zombie in the front is saying "How did you edit that muzzleflash?"

**Zeraxify** · 24th October 2009

I don't like the explosion, and it seems a bit... empty somehow in certain parts. Posing in some parts look a bit off. Overall good job.

**ChestyMcGee** · 24th October 2009

Gah. I'm really not happy with this.

I'll re-edit it one day.

C&C from those who can offer help please.

**Zeraxify** · 24th October 2009

The shadowing is fantastic, but as stated before, I don't like the explosion. Smoke is great, though.

Edited:

The gore is sweet too.

Reflectent · 24th October 2009

It's great an all but that one civilian helicopter is just floating there, the blades aren't spinning.

**The Vman** · 24th October 2009

For your re-edit, make it a lot darker. Add some heavy vignetting and edit in some more buildings in the back. Put more shit happening in the back: embers, tracers, smoke, fire, stuff like that. Increase the saturation a bit, and mess with the color settings and contrast to give it a very Red/Black/Gray color scheme. Hope that helps.

First off, good to see you still around Chesty, second very nice build.

EDIT

Oh ya, and at Yonkers the US army still was using BDU's in MARPAT, they switched to grey and drap green once they realized how useless camo was in the Z wars.

where do you guys get your buildings from the scenebuilds?

I get mine from the sky box folder.

Browse for "building".

**Santz** · 24th October 2009

The posing is fucking good mate, but the explosions are weird.
Muzzleflash on the Machingun is quite small also.

But the gore is fantastic, the smoke too.
And I also think a darkish version would look better.

Ohhh and the scene build is good too!

**wystan** · 24th October 2009

Look ok, but only ok, the guys upfront are posed well and so are the zombies, but the guys in the back look rushed and kinda ruin it for me. Edting is nice as usual. And why is that rocket trail curved like that?

Its a mortar I think... might be wrong!

in-correct.
The US army at the time was still wearing ACUPAT, then they switched to navy blue uniforms like SWAT.
i think

FlatPancake · 24th October 2009

There are three soldiers in the background, standing next to the tank. Shouldn't they be a bit more aware that the squad behind the sandbags are about to get overrun? lol.

**Back_Slash** · 24th October 2009

The saws muzzle is way to small

It's a Hellfire missile... that can lock on to zombies... or something.

REH_BlackJack · 24th October 2009

I remember you did a picture like this before, a recreation of the Yonker's Battle.

Original art piece
Your first Recreation

I kind of like your first picture more, because the livings resemble soldier, wearing HazMat gear while those in your second work are some stupid CTU-Jerks, not fitting in any way whatsoever.

**DEMONSKUL** · 24th October 2009

awesome!
never readed the book....but i guess i'll watch the movie (apparently there is one in project)

Wow, that art piece is amazing.
I think your first attempt was more like the original but with meh editing...
This one looks fairly more awesome :)

Also, that first attempt... how old it is?

**ChestyMcGee** · 24th October 2009

Um... January-ish? I can't remember.

IDOTS · 24th October 2009

God damn that's epic!
A lot better than before (and thats saying something)

**Domino** · 24th October 2009

Oh! you redid it! D:
Great work chesty ;)

KommradKommisar · 24th October 2009

Awesome. I love WWZ. I got the book and the audio for my Ipod.

I lol'd.

**-Ben_Wolfe-** · 24th October 2009

The zombie at the head of the pack looks like he'd be holding a flower.

"Peace?"
"DIE ZOMBIE FREAK!"

Anyhow, pretty good recreation.

CabooseRvB · 24th October 2009

You should but some sort of newsticker at the bottom or something..after all, Yonkers was supposedly a PR Stunt.

Yeah a PR stunt that resulted in the deaths (read eating) of hundreds of US troops and the loss of god knows how much military equipment.
Just started reading it you see.

UltaPonch · 24th October 2009

I like this scene build alot, it carries alot of the action from the concept art.

**Hairybastard** · 24th October 2009

Wow that is incredibly awesome!

**bud389** · 25th October 2009

*sigh* god damn it.... Thanks, now im going to go kill myself. FUCKING PHOTOSHOP!

**Billiam** · 25th October 2009

I don't care what anyone says that explosion is lovely.

**The_J_Hat** · 25th October 2009

I remember your first crack at this. At least this one had better zombies and editing. Nice.

hamstein · 25th October 2009

Chesty, nice homage to a great book.

I thought the new BDU's that they employed was navy blue.

**Resistance777** · 25th October 2009

I think the one in the front with the m4 looks oddly posed, but still pretty damn awesome.
