Warning, Reading this Blog may result in Zombification!

If you've been following my blog you may be aware that I'm planning to make a Zombie versus survivor themed Chess Set. I've cleared a lot of work and I'm now looking to get things started. I need to make sixteen survivor mini busts with their opposing Zombified selves. I'll be keeping them pretty generic to avoid copyright issues, but I need a good mix of males a females and I'd also like a diverse mix of everyday people, including Police, Soldier, Nurse, Clown etc etc.

 If you want to be made into a Zombie / survivor chess piece, you can email good clear posed pictures- front side and rear of yourself to me (head and shoulders) and I may use these for one of the sixteen subjects. No guarantees that this project will make it to production and their is no payment, only the chance to be immortalised as two chess pieces and maybe a copy of your sculpt - if it makes production. I'd also use the photographs to promote the set on this blog and beyond.

I'd rather use actual people than making something up and it's a good way to thank my blog readers. I'm also open to suggestion on how you want the sculpts to look.

There is also scope to make some other characters such as Santa, Uncle Sam etc as Specials for later release.

The sculpts will be head and shoulder busts only, as this will prevent any arms or props impeding game play.

Think that's everything, look forward to hearing from you,

Phil

  2. The survivor pics are the important ones, I can improvise the Zombie from those. The survivors may need to get arms / props, but they will have to be close against the body...I'll figure something out.

  4. I was thinking of doing a Santa, but you as you would be better. I'm planning for the majority of the sculpts to be regular folk, with a couple of specials too.

  5. Arms and props will be included. They will have to be kept close to the body or raised, so they don't get in the way.
