Frankenstein-Fail-Then Clean Up

This version. The Monster was very Wrightson. Just all about bone structur. Very little scarring. It was mainly gray-dead skin color. And the skin texture was crumbly in appearance.. The story was the best I've seen at cramming all the main points from the book into a good film.

I moved my post down. I'll tell you guys with a unique post once I'm on my way or any other big crisis news.
And I'll be real happy to post any good news.

This is why I can post my mediocre drawings right next to Marty's great drawings. Sage advice from Shane Glines...


"I've spent my entire career obsessively trying to “learn how to draw” when I should’ve just been drawing. Always thinking “I just need to get a little better… and then I’ll start working on (insert any of a hundred personal projects)”

The fact is that i’ve been good enough since my teens- and would’ve improved so much more rapidly had my study been in the service of any of those projects- and not in the dozens of sketchbooks pilled in my closet.

Lesson: Don’t use “learning” as an excuse to avoid “doing”.“

That is very good advice from Mr. Glines. It inspired me so much I too will start posting again as soon as I'm good enough.

Ellis, you're being silly. But good advice for all of us. As that Greek goddess of victory once said: "JUST DO IT."

Was this film (from 2004) done in B&W?? He does look very Wrightsonian...but with a nose.

LOVE IT. This is a great idea for your Ebay sketches--connect them to a known property, draw on that fanbase...maybe pen-n-inks of "This Gun For Hire" next? (My friend tells me they are doing a new movie version--WTF?!)

Yes, the Wrightson did have the Phantom Of The opera effect. It was in color. Had a nice set for the ice bound clipper. Nice touches like having a likeness of a loved one instead of a photo. Little stylized paintings. Netflix streaming glitched and claimed there was no part one of a two part episode. So I just watched the last/second episode. Got a very high opinion of it. Netflix corrected their glitch, I see the first episode, and I have slightly less enthusiasm for it. Odd. I must be a third act guy.

Good advice on not waiting until one's "ready". I guess we'll always still be learning.

About the payment, sorry I haven't gotten it yet, my classes are all during bank hours, and its been tricky getting the cash deposit in. I suppose I could use a machine. At any rate I checked and will have PLENTY of time tomorrow. I'm sorry this came at the same time as your issues. If you absolutely need it today PLEASE let me know, and I will figure something out.

No sweat Benjamin. My issues are causing my ebay activity.

Advice: be like Marty and sculpt one of your own someday
