Zombie Short Order Cook. Card Artwork. Monster Class: Undead chef that serves sauteed brains, deep-fried fingers, and flanks, sunny side up.

This is from a series of card artwork I'm working on with a friend in getting his card party game off the ground. The game, Thy Dunjon Quest, is a party game utilizing elements of charades and blackjack for players to go one mock quests and encounters while gambling their gear based on success or failure.

The Zombie Short Order Cook was formerly a culinary master of tavern food. Making eggs and pheasants at any hero's local inn. But, as the zombie plague discriminates against no one, the Short Order Cook now serves a heaping helping of brains and limbs in a fine honey glaze. Though he still serves pints of ale like normal, so there's a plus.

One of the monsters for the game, I channeled my Inner Chef from South Park for the basic outfit, and gave him a meat cleaver and lack of an arm. The menu board behind him is a fun tell of what he has on the menu with the hot trays and sneeze guard, well, just because it needs to resemble the luncheon dining experience.
