Sketchbookin'

Was doodlin' some pulp-cover titles in my sketchbook and then this happened.  please to excuse the spine-fold in the middle.

Full Moon #40: Kibakichi

Ryûji Harada in "Kibakichi: Bakko-yokaiden", 2004.


Wandering werewolf samurai in feudal Japan.

Full Moon #39: Ginger Snaps

Katharine Isabelle in "Ginger Snaps", 2000.

Full Moon #38: Waxwork

Werewolf from "Waxwork", 1988.

One of the more idiosyncratic designs, certainly.

Full Moon #37: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man

Lon Chaney Jr.(again) in "Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man", 1943.

Full Moon #36: Dog Soldiers

Wolfman from "Dog Soldiers", 2002.

Full Moon #35: El Santo Y Blue Demon Contra Dracula Y El Hombre Lobo

Yet another El Hombre Lobo, this time from "El Santo Y Blue Demon Contra Dracula Y El Hombre Lobo", 1973. 
Notable for the sparse chest hair and yellow satin shirt.

Full Moon #34: Nature Of The Beast

Wolfman Rich from "Nature Of The Beast", 2007.  TV-movie, apparently.

Full Moon #33:Stephen King's It

Teenage Wolfman from "Stephen King's It", 1990.

This tv miniseries had the additional problem of at least 2 different creature builds for their wolfman.  One close-up(animatronic, if I remember right), and one full-head makeup for the long and medium shots.  The actual makeup was great(may have just been a static full-head mask), but I wasn't able to get a decent shot of it.  The illo is based on the close-up head...which bears a peculiar resemblance to Willem Dafoe(?) 

Full Moon #32: El Santo Y Blue Demon Contra Los Monstruos

El Hombre Lobo from "El Santo Y Blue Demon Contra Los Monstruos", 1969. 
The film also features one of the most awkwardly dodgy cyclops i've seen in some time.

Full Moon #31: Mad Monster Party

Wolf Man from "Mad Monster Party", 1967.

Goofin' off

So, I finished another paying gig a week or two ago.  October-January was INSANE for me, and my recharge plan is essentially "Play Fallout 4 until collapse.  Wake up and repeat."  It's worked, kinda.

These two are both quick(ish), messy sketches from ref photo's.  Drawn whilst watching the new X-Files & hanging out with my family.  Seems that I'm always jumping between work methods; whole bunch of digital, go straight to pencil/pen/whatever.  Too much drawing, go make something in the workshop.  Too many handmade books, go write something.
I'm pretty lucky that I have the space/time/ability to jump between some fairly disparate stuff, as the mood hits.  One more, that is not 40s/50s:

Also building a Fallout 4-related item.  Will update after I get some problems solved.
