It's ALIVE

'ello all-

This is the Frankenstein Monster in all of his glory. For this pic, I went a bit more adventurous with the rendering then what I would typically do. I actually wanted the shading on the Monster's face to be more dripped and less blended, but the Arches board just soaked up the water and ink, so the blending was much softer. Still ended up liking that effect, so I went along with it. The background was more what I was after, so I was very pleased with how that came out. I used a combination of Doc Martin dyes, color pencils, and bleach on this piece. I would like to do a companion piece to this....either The Bride of Frankenstein or Dracula. What say you?
