Week 36 - Creature from the Black Lagoon by Randy Ostridge

"This image is for a weekly theme over at the Illustrious Bits sketch group.

One of the themes I missed in my sketch group was "Any Movie Monster". So when the chance came up to catch-up on a topic, I got out my monster-hunting gear. I have always wanted to draw Gill-man; he's just so crazy looking. When searching for some reference, I found a production photo of Gill-man looming over Julie Adams. So I ran with that idea and this is what I ended up with. I am not satisfied with the level of contrast in the overall image. It feels a little too flat. Ah well, better luck next time.

Pencil on paper, then inked with warm gray, cool gray, and black markers."

Week 36 - The Giant Claw by Dwayne Biddix

"Digital Art: Dwayne Biddix
Drawn for  for the draw what you missed or want to revisit week. Well I missed a chance to do movie monsters. And I as talking to  about what I should do and she linked me to a horrible old movie monster Called the Giant Claw. [link]
Well with Maja dying to see me draw it and my love of redesigning characters I gave it a shot. I updated the look and tried to make it more realistic and scary while staying as true to the campy original as I could.

Enjoy!
Dwayne

Week 25 - Creature from the Black Lagoon By Gene Kelly

Gene Kelly is a new addition to Illustrious Bits (his first entry was during Transformers week!) and he makes a big splash (pun intended, lol) with his entry of the Creature from the Black Lagoon for this week's Movie Monster choice.

Gene also did this in only 20-30 minutes of sketch time . Awesome, huh? This sketch works as another subject for Gene in that over at Rocketbot.com, there is a Sketch-A-Day: Green theme. Check out more of Gene's work over there and also on his Deviant Art page here.

Week 25 - The Fly by Ayla Charipar

I really think Ayla has been waiting for this one...

Her Movie Monster pick was... the Fly.  The Jeff Goldblum version.  For some reason, she thinks Jeff Goldblum was "hot"... at least back then.  Ugh... chicks... never can figure them out and this one is mine.

check out her new Deviant art site here.

Week 25 - Bride of Frankenstein By Rich Bernatovech
