Fans and Apocalyptic believers, as well as Mayan followers and Bath Salt dreamers...
It is that time of year again, the return of the television series
THE WALKING DEAD

With it's return on the 3rd of October, it was brought up that an avatar contest should be in order. (Thanks to wildcard for her initial idea of a zombie avatar contest.)

So here we go:
Submit your avatar by posting it in this thread.
All avatars still have to follow forum rules.
You will be allowed to vote for your 3 favorite avatars.
Voting will open Saturday, 29th of September.
Voting will close Tuesday, 2nd of October and winners will be announced.
Winners will receive the brand new Zombie Award!!!

Good Luck and if you can't survive, please do not come after me! I value my brains too much!!!

BRAINS!!!!!!!

May I use this one? Or is it too gross?

I guess that's more Hunger Games rather then zombies, huh?  Never saw HG, but it seems like it from the trailers

Can I also do a zombie cat?

I am torn between 3. I will make my decision sometime today and have it up there.



Cat

Ok, I have made my choice. Both a friend (and you know who you are) and my husband, thinks this is the one I should go with-so here it is:

It's still available  :D

Too predictable...
"That's what she said!" might have been a better answer to your question?  :-\\  Too "high school" again?

Ah young ladies, such support...thanks.

Maybe I'll use it next year. My "this year's" is close. A girl dressed in a "white as snow" outfit .

Decided...ultimately...I'd be happier to have myself zombiefied!
LOL .....

Which website did you use? (was it MakeMEZombie.com?)
I'd like to get mine done too, and I figure others here might want to do the same.

not me, I'm really not in to zombies at all.  I just wanted to join in the contest.

I figure since ive been talking about zombies since January it was fitting for me to become one  ;D

Same here. And besides, a lot of these zombies remind me too much of my ex-mother-in-law.



Cat

Too predictable...


What's wrong with predictable?  Since an actual photograph of me doesn't work at icon-sizes:

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/178/6/7/zombo_the_zombrony_by_deathcutlet-d553wt7.png

And since the words don't show up at icon sizing and I'm too lazy to image-macro it...

...I decided to giggle at the ghostie, zig-zag t'wards the zombie...

You only have today and tomorrow to get your avatars in!!
Thanks to everyone for participating so far!!!

Got one!    GRRRRRR!

I'm trying to attach the photo but can't figure out how.... duh....  Oh, goodie, I did it!!

I vote for Foo Bar !!  ;D

This is what I get for procrastinating. I was going to submit an avatar but I wanted to do it myself.
I selected the picture then just kept putting it off and when I wanted to submit it I saw that Q had
zombified herself, quite beautifully I may add, and submitted it. I didn't want to copy the idea, well
sort of, so I just said forget it. The picture I was going to use was a picture of The Boy dressed up
for when he worked at Halloween Adventure. It just seemed too similar, maybe next time.

Everyone has done a fine job, voting will be hard.

I agree!

I'm impressed with his makeup skills.  :) But he was always doing that kind of thing for various horror conventions in that area, as I recall.

Problems with being a zombie?

or is it too suggestive????

that's awesome!!!!!



I agree!


I will say thank you for The Boy, I should thank him for letting me use his picture.

Horror conventions, zombie walks, he is constantly involved in something or other. Sometimes I wonder if that
isn't how he actually looks.

Well, that was the easiest decision I never made.  ;D I'm in.

I am completely humbled. Thank you Tam. This site never ceases to amaze me, when you join this site
it's like joining a family. disfuncional? absolutely but family none the less. All those dopes who join for
the sole purpose of wreaking havoc are missing out on the wonderful people who spend time in here.
Tam, thanks again. I needn't say you shouldn't have gone through the trouble because I already know
the reply.

This is the picture, we'll see were it goes.
