Nosferatu...a symphony of terror

I'm definitely in the horrible undead monster school of thought when it comes to vampires. It's much closer to their mythological origins than a lame book by a syphilitic (and Count Orlock was way scarier than fancy pants Dracula anyway)...

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky



Here is a pic of Syd at Abbey Road studios, 5th June 1974. He had stopped by to say hi to his old bandmates, Pink Floyd, who were recording "Wish You Here" at the time. His old friends barely recognized him after 5 years absence . . .

Jimi 2



Here is another one started at work (30 min) and finished in Photoshop (30 min). I’m having a lot of fun with these! I’ve been in an artistic rut for a long time where I wasn’t having much fun drawing at all. This is bringing the fun back to drawing for me.

Clowns after midnight

I thought this would be better than the other topic I posted.


Inspiration taken from another forum:


genesplicer:
I was inspired ... after being reminded of a quote by the great silent and horror film actor Lon Chaney. He was asked by a reporter what he thought was really scary. Chaney's response was "There is nothing on earth more frightening than a clown after midnight."

What do you guys think?

EDIT:

L. F. Chaney said...

Actually, what I said is,
A clown is funny in the circus ring. But what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight and finding the same clown standing there? A clown in the moonlight is not funny.
