More development work, this time with one of the monsters. There will be others, this is just the first one I came up with. Used a photo from one of my old Hildebrandt books. Those guys, like Rockwell and many before them used to take photos for reference for their paintings. It's something I started out doing back in the 80s with my Polaroid and have since mostly got out of the habit of doing. In this case, I think it brings a certain sincerity that was missing from the style I'll need to tell a more serious story. Since this was just practice, I used their photo instead of taking my own. I think it worked out pretty well.
