Well, the artwork is very good. Nice pose, attention to detail and good parody work.
I'm not too sure I'd want to have Breakfast at Elvira's though. I like to have my eggs without decaying maggots in them.

LOL, for some reason I picture her more with, say red liquids, than dead creatures .

This is awesome! I just re-watched her movie this month. Was fun to revisit! I was thinking the whole time about how fun she would be to draw. You really captured her! Love the way you treated the eyeliner too, definitely right on!

Thanks, Justin!

I never did see the movie. Is it worth watching?

I was surprised by how outlandish her makeup was. I had never paid that much attention to it, so it was interesting to study how it worked. Plus all the photo refs I found had her in these glamour shots with serious facial expressions, and that just didn't feel right.

JustinCoffee In reply to BenTanArt [2012-11-02 00:27:48 +0000 UTC]

The movie is fun for what it is. It's worth checking out, if you are in the mood for a more fun, light hearted horror filled with Elvira style humor. Yeah that was one thing i kept noticing as i was watching the film was how crazy her makeup was. I had the chance to meet her last year, but, i was kinda broke when my friends were driving to meet her at some appearance. Kinda wish i went.

It'd be great; just take all the hype about an Audrey Hepburn film and replace it with some good old-fashioned vampy shenanigans.

tspeecestudios In reply to BenTanArt [2012-11-03 16:45:25 +0000 UTC]

Gracious no, I'm wicked, not evil. The closest I've come to that is writing cheesy dialogue for a student-level German telenovella.

BenTanArt In reply to tspeecestudios [2012-11-04 06:01:54 +0000 UTC]

LOL. Good dialogue is one of these things that I'm completely mystified by. Impenetrable art as far as I'm concerned.

Vampira was a local TV phenomenon, Elvira is a rip off of that character. Look it up.

Well, it appears that both are true: Elvira also started local .
