[box=#b3c6ff]What This Is[/box]
[box=white]
While there's a thread here for highlighting and accentuating one's zombieness and zombie fashion, I thought I would add another sort of a thread for anyone who wants to help bite and get new skins, but doesn't want to see the skin itself for any reason. Feel free to take these shared outfits to the wardrobe and use them as a base to make your own avatar. [/box]

Tutorials For Human Bases 1-10[/box]
Would you like to keep a human base while still helping NVLB?
These are my own zombie-coverup layering to appear as a normal human, allowing you to wear a skin or start an infection in secret. The only catch is that I recommend gathering up some older backgrounds that use the HA cutout in order to proceed with these.
Note: You can use as the background if you don't want any scenery.
These all are built from the bottom/base up
base 1
So... this is all I got for the first base. This is what I used to do like 7 years ago when I covered up, hear me out.
- this totally blocks out every part of your zombie self.
- This will be a light peachy tone to fill in the missing spots of the next item.
- [item=Ghouls Choice Liquid Latex (Fair)] This has spots missing but otherwise a great way to coverup. It also adds necessary outlines that the curious dolls seem to miss.
- As it stands, this is the only item I know of that is non CW and lightens the base to this degree. There is NO other official white/light filter item. The white cordial does nothing. And yes, it has a sheen that you must cover with clothes.
- Background WITH cutout for HA. This is to cover up the items that go beyond the HA shape.
- The liquid latex has a funky/thin outline, the artist pencil cleans things back up.
- Drag and drop your base features (eyes, nose, mouth) to the top. Before these were moveable, covering up was more of a pain! But now you're indistinguishable from the average human.
- [item=Single Sheer Glove (Base 1)] (optional) Without this the outline of the fingers in the liquid latex aren't the best. With this, it returns the hand back to the normal appearance of the base.

Want To Go Old School?
As a 2012 Blistered Hearts, I've had some pretty out-there techniques, mostly involving the first item below. Thanks to improvements to the wardrobe, there are so many new items now to help in layering a human appearance now, especially the curious dolls. But if you wanted to go old school, here are some miscellaneous items that aren't mentioned above, that could serve a cover-up purpose, but how to use in layering is up to you.
