Art 101

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Long story short: There is a tribute to the infamous movie Monster Magazine and I've been considering doing something for it. Below are two images I am going back and forth between and there's nothing like getting an opinon from my LoT pals. They are photo-reff'd but your thought's and vote are appreciated!

Frankenstein!

And Count Dracula!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Those are both great! I chose Frank, just 'cause I like the style a little more, but they are both awesome.

[Snowflake]

Wow! You're really really good!

I think I'm going to go with Frankenstein. But, the Dracula is also really fine!

Color me impressed (inside the lines, of course)

:snap:

[Sub la Goon]

Both are great but I vote Drac.
He has such dreamy eyes...

[Gemini Cricket]

Even though Drac is a hottie, I'd have to go with Frank.
:)

[BDBopper]

You are an awesome artist! Both are excellent but I like Frankie better. Good show! Visible mojo for you sir! :snap: :cheers:

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Terrific! Great work. It's nice to see you sharing your artwork - I'd love to see more.

I'm partial to Frank myself. There's just something about the listlessness in his little monster eyes, the beleaguered corner of his mouth...

[wolfy999]

Frankie wins...but both are awesome! Great work Mark!

[innerSpaceman]

Frank got my vote. Better facial expression.


Cool sketches, both.


Now do The Creature from the Black Lagoon. With braces on his teeth, and wearing a soccer uniform.

please.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate it!! :cheers:

ISM - I think I have one somewhere but he's in a pink pokadot bikini...

[Kevy Baby]

I was gonna vote "Yeeech! (Both suck - stop now!)", but I like you too much.

So I voted for Frankie.

Seriously, they both are very good. As someone who long ago gave up on hand-eye coordination, I am very impressed with your skills.

[Not Afraid]

I cannot ignore my master, so I voted for Drac.

[Deebs]

Both are great. Difficult choice, but I'm leaning Frank.

Drac is really pretty, with luscious lips. But I like Frank's vacant expression.

I'm bummed I didn't talk to you yesterday, or even get a quick hug. At least I didn't run away screaming this time.

[Strangler Lewis]

Let me be frank: Frank.

[Kevy Baby]

Let me be frank: Frank.Frank Lewis?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Danke Sheeeet. Thanks for the props! It's tough being inspired to draw again, but I think all your support helps a bunch.

I'm bummed I didn't talk to you yesterday, or even get a quick hug. At least I didn't run away screaming this time.

Yeah, you've been listening to "others" again. :p I was dissapointed too and I cried alittle. :cheers: Next time.

[Gemini Cricket]

Bornieo has convinced me to draw more. Look at my avatar! A masterpiece!
Not!
:D

[mousepod]

I voted Frank, too. I think your Drac makes Bela look almost handsome...

[CoasterMatt]

Frank FTW!

Great stuff man - the Drac kind of reminds me of Freddie Mercury, though.

[Gemini Cricket]

I think you definitely got the eyes right with Drac. Very mesmerizing.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I gotta go with Frank. Great work! :)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I voted for Drac because I love his eyes - the focus is all in the shading - and to be different. :) Both are fantastic.

[NickO'Time]

Loved Frankenstein, but I was teetering on the art of Dracula because of the eyes.
Nice work B!

[€uroMeinke]

I'm afraid to vote lest there be some Quisp and Quake outcome when one of them gets booted off the cereal shelf.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Thanks everyone again. I was concerned with Drac's eyes and wanted to get them right. I was worried but I've put that to rest from all the comments.

*uro - I could never get Boo-Berry to look right - always came out as Paul Lynde for some reason...

[Kevy Baby]

€uro - I could never get Boo-Berry to look right - always came out as Paul Lynde for some reason...Well; you never see them in the same room do you? Coincidence? I think not!

[Brigitte]

Both are fantastic! Either would be great, I chose Drac though, those eyes...those eyes...

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Frank! The facial expression won me over, as well. Awesomeness!

[libraryvixen]

I voted for Frank! :)

[Kevy Baby]

Frank is kickin' some serious Drac ass!
