31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
Psycho Goreman
Well, one week down, 3 more weeks and some change to go...
This time it's "Psycho Goreman (2020)". This horror/comedy/sci-fi was something which I found delightfully silly and absurd, with a dash of gross out humor. It scratched that 80's man-in-a-costume alien-monster-movie itch with a modern, self-aware twist. It involves an ancient, space tyrant found by a 9-year old girl and her older brother and controlled by a space gem now in her possession. The obvious question of "What's more evil, Psycho Goreman who has committed genocide after genocide throughout the galaxy, or the 9-year-ol..." Oh, who are we kidding--it's obviously the younger sister. She is cartoonishly sociopathic and there are so many things which gave me a good chuckle. It toys with the conventions you expect, and does some subversions of those same conventions, which amused me, as well. I say if you are looking for some over-the-top, silly, sci-fi fun, give it a watch.
Steven Kostanski also directed 2016's "Void", which I also liked quite a bit and did a great job of capturing the cosmic, Lovecraftian cults, complete with horrific body transformations. I also give that movie a thumbs up for horror.
One of the (many) great quotable lines from the Psycho Goreman: "I do no like hunky boys! Or, do I?"

STEP ONE: The pencils, done on 8-1/2" x 11" extra-heavy toned cardstock.

STEP TWO: First layer of acrylic paints...

STEP THREE: And the finished acrylic painting. Unfortunately, it scanned a little darkly and figured I should take a few minutes and correct some of it digitally.

STEP FOUR: After I scanned it in, I imported it into Clip Studio Paint and did some digital work over the top, just to sweeten it up a little bit and punch up some of those brights.

This was done with acrylic paint and digital touch-ups with Clip Studio Paint.
