Morticia

August 19, 2022 by Rob Medley

Turning a useless day into something better, with art. There will always be differing opinions on who plays the best Morticia. My thought is, all of them. Since she was in Zorro, I could picture Catherine Zeta Jones as the iconic character and now she gets her shot. So, first fan art?

Clash at Demon Head Tribute

March 21, 2021 by Rob Medley

I was watching the Black Sheep video on YouTube from the movie Scott Pilgrim vs the World and wanted to see if I could recreate the scene with the band Clash at Demon Head as fan art – it took way too long to do. So, background for the unfamiliar, the movie was a bomb but gained cult status, like most bombs do. It was based off a comic by Bryan O’Malley & launched the careers of many, but for this scene there are five, Brie Larson as Envy Adams (singer), Brandon Routh as Todd (the bassist) Tennessee Thomas as Lynette Guycott (the drummer), also Ellen Wong as Knives Chau dominates the crowd below with her blue hair. The plot would create a tl/dr post so I’ll skip that.

Someone will say, “that’s not a bass guitar, loser!” – you are correct, but then the song could not have become a hit by Metric (the real band) with only a drummer, bassist, and singer. Truth is it was sucking up way too much time as is for a doodle. Anyway, give the movie a watch if you’re looking for something to Netflix.

Flashback 1984

March 10, 2021 by Rob Medley

This is both fan art and a statement. It started as a momento of what I have always thought the perfect woman was, the Goth Girl, which goes back to high school. Hint, it was the Nerds who were totally interested in you, not that it mattered. There’s a girl, Desiree was her name, that I was infatuated with in high school, but was too afraid to talk to her. She disappeared after graduation. I have no idea weather she still walks the planet. so this is kind of a tribute to her.

It’s also a tribute to one of my favorite movies. Can you guess? Artax? Atreyu? The bog? Yup, it’s the Neverending Story, or Die Unendliche Geschichte, which is the book that is the origin of the movie. There may be some copyright stuff here but fanart should be covered by fair use.

Happy Reunion

December 30, 2020 by Rob Medley

There’s a movie reference in this one. John Carpenter made one of the quintessential horror movies in 1982, the Thing, with Kurt ‘Call me Snake’ Russell. In 2011 a prequel was made, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (sigh, heart). She survived the movie but we don’t really know if she was infected (aka the thing) or not. The dog that runs out of the Norwegian camp of the 2011 film towards the American camp of the 1982 err sequel is definitely infected. So I was like, “what if she was the alien and met back up with the other aliens at camp?” So, at heart it’s a girl and a dog happily reunited.

For those that are, like, “what’s up with this dude and horror?” I’m working through a thing. It’s called 2020.
