MOTHMAN...meh.


I have a new dishwasher coming today, so with having it delivered, the old one taken away, and the new one installed, my day is shot.
So...a post from a few years ago, while I wait:
Mothman. What a stupid monster. Today's Monster of the Day is Mothman. Maybe I should explain.When I was a kid, ( well, even now ),I read anything I could, ( can ), get my hands on. Many times I chose a book strictly by its cover. Most times when it had a Frank Frazetta cover, I was in for a great read, but not with the
" Mothman Prophecies ".
Look at this cover:
Looks exciting, doesn't it? I bought the book, jumped into it, and was terribly disappointed as only a fat kid in Minnesota, in the dead of winter can be.
I mean look at it. The Mothman is gonna get those people. Lay a beating on the guy, and maybe a little insect-lovin' on the chick.
But no....nothing like that in the story. Based on some "true" events, this book was a yawnfest filled with sightings of glowing eyes, men in black, blah blah blah.
So...today's Monster of the Day is phoning it in...the Mothman.

SMILE

Found a great series of Illustrator tutorials on You Tube, by a talented guy named Clay Butler. Including the rough sketch, this took me about half an hour. Of course, for some unknown reason my program crashed and I had to restart, but even including that bump, I'd say it was closer to 40-45 minutes. I have to practice his technique more, but I am always happy to add to my skills.
As a favor to my artist friends who use Illustrator, here is the link to Clay's site. Enjoy!
