CREATURE FEATURE 2013: WALKING DEAD


Halloween is bigger than Christmas at Strange Labs, so, to commemorate, every post for the rest of October will be spooky, scary, creepy... and maybe, just maybe, a little celebratory-- THIS MONTH MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE STRANGE LABORATORIES HAS BEEN ONLINE!



Created and shot before my extensive use of dioramas and sets, I always felt my Unmensch deserved a better series of photos than what he initially got. While I've kicked around ideas of doing one more to complete the "trilogy," I still consider this guy to be my definitive statement on the undead.

TOP SECRET: CLASSIFIED IMAGES FROM MISSION DOSSIER, CODENAME: LAZARUS

Photographs taken during American recon mission of secret underground German laboratories, where an experiment had gone horribly wrong. According to eyewitness reports, power in the facility was sparse, so many of these images are lit by a flashlight...

A number of subjects were found throughout the complex, though no living were among them. It appeared as though all of the doctors, scientists, and personnel were overrun by the creatures in a matter of days. They posed a challenge for trained soldiers with machine guns. Unarmed civilians didn't stand a chance.
