31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2020
Creepshow (1984)
Happy Father's Day... Er, I mean HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hey, it's a reference to the "Father's Day" segment in "Creepshow". Anyhoo, here it is the end of the 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween, and I somehow managed to post all 31 Days. No one is more shocked than I am! Although, it was pretty close a couple times where I just made it by the skin of my teeth (twice within a half-hour of my self-imposed deadline of midnight of each day). So, huzzah!
THE GOOD: This year, I did take more time to do up each painting/post, so I think the general quality was improved. The practice was good and just dedicating that much time trying to paint a likeness--even though it didn't always work--was a learning experience. There were a few times when I felt like I may actually properly know what I am doing (don't worry, that feeling soon passed). Overall, I'm relatively pleased and feel like I may have advanced a bit in my proficiency. Just a bit
THE BAD: I think the Stephen King painting as Jordy Verrell from "Creepshow", while passable, is a bit flat. And, while the face of "The Candyman" is pretty good, too bad it doesn't look at all like Tony Todd. Sigh... The Babadook is a little bland and uninspired, while the post for the "They Live" Karen could have been better, IMHO.
Oopsies, on "Hellraiser IV: Bloodline" Angelique: I forgot the white highlights on her outfit I was planning on doing to show it was somewhat shiny, and I didn't finish her lips. The bent-out, top bars on The Jackal's cage got painted over and then forgotten for the "13 Ghosts" post.
THE UGLY: "The Fly" post with the "Brundle Museum of Natural History"... Ugh, it looks weird--especially the eyes which are strangely cartoony and bothers me. Blech! But, I'll leave it, warts and all.
Well, I hope to try, try again, next year.
