Mad God (2021)
OK, I admit this one is different. "Mad God" (2021) is a (mostly) stop-motion animation by Phil Tippett, best known for doing special effects in many other movies ("Robocop 2" and "Jurassic Park", for example). It is filled with horrific scenes of deformed monsters and terrifying cruelty. While there is a semblance of a storyline, this is one of those movies which is best to just let wash over you in a series of ghastly scenes and disturbing sounds.
If you are familiar with the animation of The Brothers Quay, I was reminded of their work (they are probably best known for some of their stop motion interstitials they did for MTV back in the mid-90's). Whereas there is a clinical precision to their animations, Tippett's "Mad God" is filled with the carnal and the chaotic fused together into a compelling, nightmare world.

STEP ONE: Here are the pencils on an 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.

STEP TWO: Here's the first (and probably part of a second) pass with acrylic paint.

STEP THREE: I imported it into Clip Studio Paint to do all the random bits and bobs overtop. I will admit, though, I am not completely happy with the end results. Ah, well. Passable, but it in no way captures the twitchy nightmare of the movie.
