Just follow the light on the radio tower...

We hope everyone is having a peaceful festive season!

Thank you everyone who took part - and kudos to the two runners who fell foul of the form but still took part. Their creative resilience is just the sort of panache we expect from Runner Five!

We'd recommend you take a scroll through the links below when you have time to enjoy the range we've got going on. Readying this post on the morning of the 24th, I was already buzzing seeing the early entries.

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy end to 2025, and looking forward to what 2026 may bring us! ✨

So it finally happened - I missed signing up for zombies run secret santa!

I thought it would be fun and in spirit of the zombies run nostalgia tag to draw some of our Fives instead, since I did that a few years ago (and it was lots of fun).

Unfortunately, I am pretty busy these days, so you might not see the finished thing at Christmas - maybe not on new years - maybe ...in ...spring? Or earlier! But I can't make any guarantees.

If you're interested anyway in seeing your Five attend an Abel Christmas party, send me a description - please think about including things like body composition, skin color, outfit, likely expression or pose (so that I don't draw a character that never smiles with a big grin...), well, basically anything that's relevant and is important to *your* Five, and you would like to see represented. If you've drawn your Five before, include a link!

Runner Five from Abel Township, reporting for duty!

This is a whole new blog 100% dedicated to Zombies, Run! Expect random unfinished art, tagged #Z5art for your convenience.

Animal AU in the works, taking suggestions! Some general rules apply:

General population are domestic dogs, with some exceptions for ✨️plot✨️. This includes most zombies.

Big Bad Guys are usually wild animals, to emphasize danger.

The humans did exist, but were completely wiped out. Not even human zombies remain. Characters' backstories generally translate into their owners.

Any animal has character potential, as long as they are roughly dog-sized or bigger. Some exceptions apply if the idea is Really Good TM.

Ask box always open to questions, suggestions, and even light role-playing! You can directly mention a specific character and they will answer.

Pinned Five references below! (I'm on S5, but haven't updated Five's design to reflect that).

I am so unbelievably thrilled about today’s Zombies Run news, I’ve been playing this game on and off since high school and have gotten super into it this past year, it’s become one of my biggest special interests. Naomi Alderman is such an incredible writer, and I can’t wait to see what’s next! (Little sketch of Sam to celebrate)

Have some doodles! Five fixed Sam's hair btw lol

Have a tired comms operator! His hair looks horrible I know lol

You ever have to go through the longest, most traumatic day of your life then have to comfort everyone else instead of deal with your own trauma?
