Staring at myself in the mirror after getting out of the shower a few days ago I realized I kind of had this Daryl Dixon look going on and the Denver Zombie Crawl was only 4 days away so I figured why not!?
Here is the look I ended up with:
The following is the process which led me to the finished result above:
It was a scramble to get all the costume components together. I was so late in the game I didn't even have time to order stuff on ebay because It wouldn't arrive before the zombie crawl so I hit up the local Goodwill, and what luck!
I found this denim vest:
Too light, but I figured I could remove the patches and dye it.
Also found this leather jacket I decided to use as a base for the winged vest:
I already had this pair of torn up jeans that fit the part:
Also had these vintage Redwings from a Tyler Durden costume. Not the right model, but they had the right look for the zombie apocalypse:
Then I hit up a Spirit Halloween shop for the crossbow. I checked online and they were sold out, but luckily the nearest location had 1 left in stock!
I also found this creepy latex zombie mask. My idea was to turn this into a severed zombie head with an arrow in it's cranium that I could carry around as a prop:
More to come . . .
