Tim, Round 30 part 2: Maleficent

I haven't seen "Disney's Sleeping Beauty" in a while, but this is how I remember "Maleficent" looking, right? Ok maybe, just maybe I'm a bit "off model", but in my defense, this how I always WANTED her to look in the movie.

Head to my personal blog for a "Maleficent" work in progress animation (do this, you won't regret it)


...and perviously here on the RBMC blog,  my original Maleficent sketch

Devil's Work Pt.2

 One day closer to Halloween, one more devil lady. 

I really hope no one gives me candy corn this year, or worse yet, pennies.

What can we do with a drunken Sailor?

Mermaids, don't sing.  They don't pine to be human or have cute little fish sidekicks.  They are creepy and all they want to do is drag you down to the watery depths to do whatever they do with drowned, waterlogged bodies.  Perhaps wait for them to get all squishy and easy to eat like alligators do to their prey.  Certainly not to sing to them.  So avoid them, they don't like you!

Devil's Work Pt.1

I didn't really know what to draw for Halloween this year, but my boss and I have an expression around the office. 

"You can always draw the devil"

So that's what I'm doing...thirteen times.  

Every day until halloween I'm going to post a new devil lady drawing. It'll be like an advent calendar for hedonists.

Oh, and you can buy the originals, for wicked cheap here:

WWhhooooo goes there?

I have amassed a huge collection of horror films....HUGE. I dare say I have close to 200 films or more. I know...it sounds like a pick up line...and if I were single I'd use it in a heart beat. But my point is..I've seen a lot of horror films. Some great...some good ....some not so good. And of that group there are a few that I watch again and again on a whim. And STAGE FRIGHT (Also known as AQUARIUS and DELIRIA) is one of them. Shot in 1987 by director Michele Soavi, (Of CEMETARY MAN fame) it's the tale of a theater group locked inside a sound stage at the hands of a lunatic actor dressed in an owls head costume. It may sound goofy...but there are some seriously intense scenes...more notably the stage scene where the killer sits in a chair like a king with his court before him, the corpses of his victims. The soundtrack reeks of 80's music...But it stands as one of my personal favorite slasher flicks.

tis the season

Any other holiday have it's own line of cereal?  NOPE!

Erin Boo-Doodle: 2

Today's sketch stars Mika the cat! I am a big fan of cute Halloween.

Dracula!

The very OLD Dracula.  I've had Bram Stoker's Dracula (the movie) on the brain lately and felt like taking a quick stab at it.  Rather than go with the traditional vampire attire, I thought I'd try the more bizarre hair and makeup version from earlier in the film.  I really need to watch that again soon.  I remember really liking the visual style of it and I wonder if it still holds up.
