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.

2015: Year In Review

Had a couple low-productivity months over the summer, but I think I did pretty OK this year.  25 paying bits of illustration.  Again, not livable money...but way more than the 4 I did the year before.
Actually turned in the last paid piece of 2015 about 15 minutes before I started typing this.  December was kinda rough, and it will continue right through into January.

I have barely played Fallout 4.  I have not yet seen The Force Awakens(!)  Haven't really hung out with my family in weeks.  Ah, the freelancer's carefree life.

Learned a whole bunch about the new Sketchbook Pro...enough that my most recent batch were done entirely in that software...no photoshop or artrage required.  Learned a whole lot about painting hair.  Taught myself rudimentary bookbinding, and proceeded to hand-make about 2 dozen sketchbooks.  wrote 100+ pages of a CYOA-style experiment.  Also, my long-term project involving werewolves continues as time permits.  Finally finished my blade runner pistol, and then had the photo re-tweeted by Adam Savage (again, '!').
  Lots of anxiety and stress, but less pain.  More therapy.  We'll see how 2016 goes.

Happy New Year
