I spent a good part of 2012 and 2013 illustrating a graphic novel. It’s unlikely to see publication with its original script. This was the protagonist.
Big Man of the Forests
Shhhh. Sasquatch is watching you.
Fluffysaurus
Drawing feathers on dinosaurs feels weird.
Atomic Fish Zombies
The Horror of Party Beach is probably not a good movie. I’ve only seen it once and I don’t remember it being a good movie. The monster costumes are pretty ridiculous. Yet I keep returning to the story as an illustration subject. For me, the idea of human corpse reanimated and transformed into fishmen by atomic waste is just too much fun not to play with.
I Never Drink … Wine
I’m not a Dracula fan, either of the original novel or most of the movie versions. It’s not that I dislike the character or vampires. I’m just not a fan. I really enjoyed Tomb of Dracula, the comic book series by Marv Wolfman/Gene Colan/Tom Palmer, but that bore little resemble to the original novel.
Anyway. The literary Dracula had a mustache. The most famous version of Dracula was played by Bela Lugosi. Without a mustache. I fixed that.
Drawing Bricks is Relaxing
The Castle on the Hill
I love the idea of big rambling (and decaying) castles (mansions, fortresses, edifices). I need more practice drawing them.
A Big Goon
Friend Good
One thing I love about the Frankenstein Monster – there’s a lot of him. The version described by Shelley in the novel has yet to be represented on film.That’s understandable. There aren’t a lot of eight foot tall actors around.
Of Course
When sketching I have to draw a version of the Frankenstein Monster. It’s the law. I’ve yet to do a version of the Karloff monster that I think looks right. So I’ll keep practicing.
