I know you say here in your artist description that you were just playing around with a new brush pack but I saw the thumbnail on the newest submission page and was immediately struck that you managed to capture an aspect of the Undead that I usually find missing; namely you successfully give the impression that the flesh on the corpse is shrunken.

There's a particular stage when the flesh has been insect eaten a bit more around the mouth and eyes and while it's drying out it's dried a bit more around those areas so it curves inward towards the bone and starts pulling away a bit and I get that impression quite well here despite the rough and unfinished nature of the drawing; typically you see zombies which are really "fresh" or quite moist and rotten but very few are shown at this level in the decay process.

I don't know if this was exactly the feeling you were going for when you were working but if it wasn't you should definitely remember it for the next time.
