Nesting II
I swore I wouldn’t work on them tonight but taking that picture made me get the itch, so I fiddled a little, as you can see:
It might be hard to understand, but Frankenstein’s monster is wearing a hospital gown and little else. I made the ghost look like Jason in the first Halloween movie, one of the scariest movies EVER. Zombie and werewolf have been outlined, and I like how they are going, but both need more love before I am going to be truly happy. I have to tackle that Dracula tomorrow. Somehow I have to figure out how to do his neckline, his bow tie is just…floating, and that’s not right.

Fizzle. Yeah, I guess I do. Jason, Michael, Freddie, who can keep track these days?

You know what, Nickh? Shannon got them a long time ago, I think from a Russian website. He got three sets, one for each of us, and he can’t remember either. I think if you go through Zentastic you’ll find a link there, or just google it.

I think they took a long, LONG time to get here. Another idea would be finding a cheap set and re-painting them.

These look even more hilarious in person! This is one of my favorite projects of yours.

These are great. I think the ghost is my favourite. I also have some blank nesting dolls, waiting for the perfect idea. I wanted to do creatures from Labyrinth because they range in size perfectly, but it turns out I am not quite artistic enough to copy Brian Froud.

Thanks, Rach. The Frankenstein is now Bride of Frankenstein and it’s ridiculous. I still have to finish her face and I will post a picture.
Of course, now they are finished (almost) I have had tons more ideas of what to paint them as. I was looking at pictures of SCTV last night and getting mad I hadn’t thought of that earlier. Ah, well!
