Description First of all, this should probably look familiar to some of you. However, it's very different because I lost the original piece-> [link] in my computer crash last year (Always back-up your files!!) so I had to re-paint the same image again. I couldn't see just trying to recreate the original exactly, so I made some fun changes while sticking to the same idea.

Frankenstein is a classic character and one of my all-time faves, so I definitely needed to get him back into my gallery and (most importantly) print options for sale. Sooo....Frankie's back from the undead...again.

Oh yeah! He's looking good. Very nice hardware he's packing. And of course, the flies are great detail, because lets face it, he's probably getting pretty funky by now, right?

DickStarr In reply to Ouijaplayer [2009-09-24 11:10:58 +0000 UTC]

Right! That's why I did the flies. Thanks for the kind words.

DickStarr In reply to twistedmentality [2009-09-23 02:23:49 +0000 UTC]

I draw it first in my sketchbook, scan it, then digitally paint 'em up. Thanks, I was hoping the electricity juiced up the image a bit.

Super sweet! I'm a huge fan of the monster and this is an instant fav.

I love the way the orange background works with the green skin. The details on his veins and musculature are incredible.

I really like the poor little fly getting zapped by lightning. You almost have a mashup -- if you replace the little fly's head with David Hedison's and have him saying "Help meeeeEEEEEE!"

Nice work!

Combining both the subject and your skill, this is one of my favorite things that you've done, and that's not just blowin' sunshine up yer skirt neither.

As long as your number hasn't changed I still got 'em. We should do lunch and hit Caufields some day! Have you been in yet this year? They have a new room opened up for their big props and outdoor decorations - it looks like a dungeon! A gore-hound like you has gotta check it out.

DickStarr In reply to jargonjones [2009-09-24 11:13:28 +0000 UTC]

Same number, and I'll definitely be checking out Caufield's soon. My wife and I need costumes for the upcoming art show.
