Zombicide: Dead Men Tales - Retchmaw ("Pinata")

 Designed this guy, original idea was once you defeat the monster you replace it with a random amount of walkers as everything it ate came out. I wanted it to look like it was still in the process of mutating, it's limbs in-between fins and legs.

This is an interesting note; it looks like the figure was scanned, cleaned-up and then the zombies that were originally coming out of it's belly were removed and then a new group on his side was digitally sculpted as well as the one in his mouth. Here are pics of the original sculpt,

Zombicide: Dead Men Tales - Deadlight

 Another one of my designs. My idea was a monster that could stun a player, maybe reducing their movement or actions. I was getting flashes of Scooby-Doo while making it.

Zombicide: Dead Men Tales - Tidewitch ("Mermaider") original sculpt

 The Tidewitch was one of my designs BUT not one of my minis; here is the original sculpt I did as part of a group of figs I was asked to come up with. I hadn't noticed mermaids in the concept art yet so I thought that would fit the criteria. The idea I pitched was a zombie that wasn't very mobile but could lure players to it and away from the party. Also, it let me sculpt something in a more "human" scale instead of the gigantic stuff I normally do.

As far as production, I suspect that the curvature of the tail in my sculpt was too problematic for casting. Looking at the new sculpt the tail is wrapped around a rock making the outstretched arm the only real tricky part to get cast. The original pose still lives on in the game art.

Zombicide: Dead Men Tales - Landsharkey

 One of my designs so, no concept art. I was asked to create several monsters for the stretch goals and I was given a whole lot of freedom in making them and one of the things I really wanted to make was a mutant-hammerhead-shark-zombie. 

I thought an abomination that could ignore things like barricades and doors would be a cool so he was sculpted with that in mind; I added bits of wood planks sticking out of him to hopefully make it look like he just smashed through something. I'm not sure if that's what he does now but that was the original thought I had for him.
