Retro-style pixel art depicting a three-stage zombie transformation, showcasing gruesome details in a classic video game aesthetic
This image presents a pixelated, retro-style illustration of a zombie transformation sequence. Set against a dark background, three stages of a zombie are shown from left to right, with an arrow indicating the progression. The color palette is dominated by sickly greens, reds, and browns, creating a grotesque and eerie atmosphere typical of horror-themed video games.
Each zombie figure is depicted with exaggerated features characteristic of pixel art. The zombies have glowing green skin, exposed rib cages, and prominent red wounds. Their faces are skull-like with glowing eyes. The rightmost figure appears more decayed, with part of its torso missing. The pixelated style gives a chunky, blocky appearance to the characters, enhancing the retro gaming feel.
This artwork evokes nostalgia for early horror video games, particularly those from the 8-bit or 16-bit eras. The style and subject matter are reminiscent of classic zombie games, showcasing how pixel art can still effectively convey gruesome and horrific themes despite its limited resolution.
