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 Crone by Andrew Charipar

OK, this is me once again going in a different direction.

This weeks subject at Illustrious Bits Sketch Blog was Movie Monsters.

I personally think Monsters are suppose to scare you.  I started thinking about Movie Monsters when I was a kid and I was fascinated with the classics.  Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein (I loved that one) and none of them really scared me.  Even the modern Movie Monsters (Freddy, Jason and so forth) never really scared me either... they just made me laugh.  But the one, the ONE Monster that actually Scarred me... was the Crone from the Disney animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

We owned the movie on VHS and whenever her scenes came on the screen, I hide my head under a pillow or left the room... she literally scared the crap out of me.  I even had a Snow White art book and there was a full page, full color picture of her and I memorized the page number and whenever I was looking through the book, I would skip that page, avoiding it EVERYtime.

This was actually a very difficult drawing for me... I had to do my Google searching... in fear.

Ughhh.

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

This week's theme on Illustrious Bits is Movie Monsters and I decided to draw Marge Simpson, I mean, the Bride of Frankenstein, lol. Not much else to say about it.  :)
