As always, you guys have managed to wow us. The Command Center has been buzzing with excitement over the latest batch of contest entries.

First Prize Winner:
@Catella_Snape (Lt Blue Brigade) and @Jessadorkadon (Purple Brigade)!
Congratulations! Here is the video they put together with help from Catella’s daughter, Michelle:
The runner-up will be sent a ZSC logo t-shirt. And the runner-up winner is…
Matthew Jones (Yellow Brigade)!
Congratulations!
Here is Matthew’s winning drawing and the story that accompanies it:
This is Johnny Decker. Well, was Johnny Decker. Now he’s just a head, an undead head. Sadly he had decided to tag along with his girlfriend, Penny, and several others to a secluded cabin in the woods. DUN DUN DUN *thunder crash*. While there, the secret gov’t base neighboring the local skinny dipping spot was having some “security issues.” After much grabbing, biting, screaming, and running all but Johnny and Penny were eaten. Though Johnny had become infected from an ankle biter! That’s the plot twist! Luckily for Penny she had been training for years to be a champion lumberjack. Finding her weapon embedded in a tree stump Johnny quickly got the chop; flying through the air (as depicted) he cursed his newly found zombie desire for brains and longed to see his home again. Then he was split in twain by the mighty axe of Penny the Zombie Slayer.
The End.P.S. A neat little trick for the kiddies! Print out Johnny Decker and hold down the paper at the center of his head, just above his mouth… gash, with a pin or similar device. Now… spin! Voilà! Flying decapitated zombie head action! Fun for all ages.
Congratulations again to both winners.
If you any of you are still feeling creative, you have until February 20th to submit your entries for our second ZSC anthology contest.
Just my opinion, but I really thought the Zombie drawing should’ve been the winner of this contest. The task was to create a zombie, but I felt like the video that won the contest didn’t actually focus much on the zombie itself. It was also kind of confusing to follow…
Anyway both were good in their own right and congrats to both the winner and runner up!
Congrats to all who participated. Love both the video and the drawing.
And love that the Purple Brigade Represents *salutes*
I’m always impressed by the talent our crew has. Congrats to the winners. I thought the video was nicely done and had a good story.
Matthew – damn proud to have such an amazingly talented artist on my brigade! Good job!
Y’all never cease to amaze us when we hold contests like this, and there will be more to come!
*salutes and twirls staff*
The entries were judged on various levels (which I won’t detail here to spare everyone’s sanity). I love both entries, but we needed one clear winner.
P.S. The zombie created in the video wasn’t the little girl or any of the walkers around the house. It was the one that didn’t make it to the safe haven.
P.P.S. I totally laughed out loud at Matthew’s story that went with his art.
Huge thanks to everyone that entered. You made us very proud with the entries we received. *twirls sword* *drops it on foot* Bloody hell. I cannot win today!
NIce job and Congratulations to the winners. Artwork is incredible!
