Inktober 2018 - The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962)

Inktober 2018:
The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962)


It's another... um, "classic"(?) B-Movie from my childhood: "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" (also known as "The Head That Wouldn't Die").  This one involved a car accident in which the wife is decapitated and kept alive (against her will) by her neuro-scientist husband in a liquid-filled tray.  He spends his nights trying to find her a new body to transplant her head, but she'd rather he just allow her to die.  Men!  They just don't listen, am I right, ladies?  

Oh, yeah, and not only can she talk, but she also develops telepathy!  There's also an Igor-type assistant that is a large, monstrous guy.  Well, you can guess the rest of the story, I'm sure.  Hijinks ensue with murder, revenge, and all the rest.

STEP ONE:  The pencils were done with an ebony pencil on 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.

STEP TWO:  The inks were done using a #8 brush, with an assist with a 0.5mm ballpoint gel pen.

STEP THREE:  After it was imported into Photoshop, it was colored over a Multiply layer
