Description

Frankenstein's Monster:

As iconic as Karloff's interpretation was, I wanted to give the monster a less streamlined appearance, more akin to Bernie Wrightson and Barry Moser's amazing drawings of him.

The problem the monster has always had is that he never looked like he was actually pieced together from different corpses, so I decided to make that a bit more apparent, using different skin tones, bodytypes and states of decay for the differing parts.

I also wanted to make the creature look German in a way, as that's where Shelley's story takes place. So I did look at paintings and portraits of German men to do this.

 Splendidly creepy - this rendition definitely comes very close to his creator's description of him as being rather handsome in outline but with something … WRONG about him, a subtly unnatural quality that prevented any who met him from considering The Creature HUMAN rather than monstrous (I imagine that this is him newly-risen into his strange half-life and that the scars would heal, leaving only subtle indications of his patchwork construction).
