Horror Classics: The Caged Beast
Got stricken by a bastard duo case of insomnia and anxiety last night, so I couldn’t quite hit the desk and be as productive as I wanted to be. After a third cup of coffee and a stale tuna sandwich, I said fuck it and decided to finish the Werewolf piece. I use a mouse to color, so the annoying little hairs made my weird manic state a little useful.
Where with the Mummy I used yellowish dusty hues and with Frankenstein I used cadaverous greens, this time around I made a conscious effort to use earth tones.
When Things Get Hairy
Woke up a bit groggy from a work binge the other day, and I was out of coffee… so after an arctic shower, I warmed up by finishing the line art for the Werewolf Horror Classics piece. The rough sketch was barely discernible as a lycanthrope, I think. This illustration was finished live on Ustream while talking shit with a coupla buddies via Skype… I’ll do that more often to get the joints ready in the morning (half past noon), but it’s back to work for now.
Woof!
Felt the sudden urge to dive back into the HORROR CLASSICS series today and drew my version of the Wolf-man. I’m not a big fan of the classic “shaggy man” look Nicholson sported in “Wolf,” and the Lycanthropes in “Underworld” I think just resemble balding bears; but I remember this film entitled “Bad Moon,” and I recall that rendition being nothing but absolutely badass, so I’ll try bringing some of that into my piece.
It’ll also be a bit of a departure from the previous three pieces coz I’ll have to pull the camera back a bit to convey a sense of size to the creature. Here’s hoping he doesn’t end up lookin’ like Yogi going postal though.
