The design leans into the contradiction fully: a round, wide-eyed head with wild spiky hair and Frankenstein bolt details, paired with an exposed rib cage, decaying clawed hands, and a toothy grin that's equal parts adorable and unsettling."}]},{"type":"paragraph","attrs":{"textAlign":null},"content":[{"type":"text","text":"The character is emerging from the ground — the classic zombie rising pose — surrounded by jagged earth and debris rendered in loose, energetic linework that spills into the lower half of the page. The hands reach forward with exaggerated clawed fingers, yet the oversized chibi eyes and chubby proportions keep the character endearing rather than genuinely threatening. This is a zombie you'd put on a sticker."}]},{"type":"paragraph","attrs":{"textAlign":null},"content":[{"type":"text","text":"The \"Zombrema\" tag is hand-lettered in a loose graffiti-metal style at the base — the name as much a visual element as a label, scrawled with the same expressive energy as the character above it."}]},{"type":"paragraph","attrs":{"textAlign":null},"content":[{"type":"text","text":"Presented on paper, pencil and eraser resting beside it on a warm wooden surface, the sketch is captured as a work-in-progress artifact — honest, unfinished, and entirely itself.
