Could This Recently Found Skeleton in Germany Have Been a Zombie?
It was possibly treated like the undead.

...“He wasn’t completely buried, but seated and buried up till the half of the body. He was exposed at the top until he lost all the flesh, and the skull fell off,” says Ana Herrero-Corral, a prehistoric archaeologist and researcher at the University of Vienna, who led the grizzly study in 2020.
“We don’t know why they did this. One interpretation is that they buried just half of the body to prevent him from moving or escaping,” she says, explaining that it is “impossible” to know whether the man was dead before burial or if he died due to entrapment..."
These are my most played with monsters for RPGs, but never got painted. They're Reaper Bones, the white material, and cleaning them up sucked! I ended up slicing as much of the mold lines as I could, then I covered the rest with some thick layers of primer. I took this opportunity to try some speed painting techniques. I used contrast paints (xpress) and oils, but also traditional acrilycs as a final step. Despite my frustrations with the material, I'm very happy with the result (for the time it took) so I think I might try to replicate this process on some other appropriate models (plague bearers??)
For #TuneTuesday the theme is #SongsAboutClassicMonsters, and what better way to celebrate the foul, shambling undead than Skeletonwitch's "Released from the Catacombs". 🧟
I need(*) $120k USD & a stupid amount of additional funds for taxes, restoration, and fancyin' up an abandoned asylum halfway between Duluth & the Twin Cities for my cult.
Gib me money and you can survive the #ClimateWars with me in a #haunted af building.
What do you do when your employer has just died, your best friend is a smoke #Demon, the kingdom's being invaded by the #Undead, and you're a talking #Cat?

Just in time for #Halloween, I came across the #undead: a zombie hard drive. 🧟 🖴
Today my PC started making clicking noises and I was already afraid that one of my hard drives was going to fail. Turns out it was the other way round: A defective hard drive that I was too lazy to remove from my computer and had forgotten about just came back to life.

Slightly inspired by picture I saw on some random blog. There was undead sorcerer, bare skeleton as I remember, sitting in the armchair, studying something in his books. And there were some kittens climbing on his shoulders and description like "it doesn't matter if you are dead, your cats will still love you". So I thought I could create own #undead character with a #cat.

Now I think I cannot draw anything really ugly/awful in this cartoon style.
Who loves #zombies? Besides me, I mean. I definitely do. I love them so much I made some music about them, and if you love zombies, too, I think you'll enjoy this track!
