A good example of why logos shouldn’t be done freehand. Fortunately I didn’t plan to use this for anything. I’ve got an Oz Squad logo I’m quite happy with.
Cyclops
I think the black in this drawing makes a significant difference. It helps the hand pop out and separates the figure from the background. The creature here is from an early Bert I. Gordon film The Cyclops.
Tusks and Teeth
Another marker drawing. This time with a black base drawing done before I moved on to color. Sometimes the black improves a drawing, defining and making parts of it pop out better. I don’t know that it made much difference here.
Remake/Remodel – Sister Zero
My contribution to the most recent Remake/Remodel thread at Whitechapel.
Kardak and Sons, Mystics for Hire
My second contribution to the Kardak Remake/Remodel thread. My Kardak is joined here by two other Kardaks – the middle one originally by Berserker (Michael Furious) and the one on the right originally by Seb Fowler.
Kardak the Mystic
This my first contribution to the recent Remake/Remodel thread at Warren Ellis’s Whitechapel forums – Kardak the Mystic. It was quite a fun thread. Go check it out!
A Modern Deucalion
This is my attempt at representing Deucalion, Victor Frankenstein’s first creation, from Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein trilogy. Deucalion has named himself after the son of the mythical titan, Prometheus. Koontz’s story isn’t a sequel to any specific version of Frankenstein; neither the original novel nor any of the multitude of plays and films that have been inspired by it. Deucalion, rather than being hideous at his awakening as in the novel (and most of the movies), was apparently very handsome. His facial scars are the result of Frankenstein’s attempt to destroy him after he rebelled against his creator. A Buddhist monk added the tattoos to distract from the scars.
Behold, the Toxic Avenger!
Since my first marker sketch made me think of the Toxic Avenger I thought I’d go ahead and try to draw the fellow. I still haven’t seen one of his movies so I can’t say whether or not I’ve succeeded. I did have fun doing the drawing so I don’t mind.
Just the Pencils
While I do like these sketches I just didn’t have the energy or inspiration to color them. Oh well. Say hello gentlemen.
The Other Frankenstein Monster
Frankenstein’s Monster has come to be depicted as a patchwork horror, a creature crudely stitched together seemingly at random with odd bolts or wiring sticking out of him. While I think that’s rather far from how Shelly actually envisioned him I have to admit it’s a fun pattern to try to invent new variations on. I did an earlier version of this fellow as one of my first contributions to A Patchwork of Flesh. I do like this design. It’s a variation on the hulking creature of the movies without (I think) referencing any specific version.
