Rotting flesh, zombie flesh?

Chile Chef · October 8, 2009

I've been trying to figure out the easiest way to add zombie rot, vampire teeth, and other horror stuff in adobe cs4. I'm really good at photoshop. I currently getting an 4.0 in my photoshop class, but I am having a hard time adding rotting flesh to a perfect picture. Could some one give me any pointers?

I guess we have different ideas on what makes a "perfect picture"!

Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia. Like most photography, this would often be done before the shoot, rather than in post. Special FX folk work hard for this look in cinema and TV.

If you have to do this in post...

On the flesh, you would wish to go opposite to a healthy skin tone, so you would aim for a gray/blueish feel. Adding wounds, fangs etc should not be too hard if you have retouching skill. As Photoshop and the uses it can be put to are so deep, I don't really know what is meant by "I'm really good at Photoshop", all things being relative.

Centuries ago, artists that were after realism would study cadavers and skeletons...lots of "fun"!
