31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023:
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
Hey, hey! Twenty-one down and ten to go! Someone queue up "The Final Countdown" by Europe! The end is slowly in sight (although, ironically, I have several out-of-town and extra-busy days and real-life distractions ahead during this last stretch, so we shall see how that goes)...
While not really a horror movie, per se, "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" (1958) is definitely a Monster Movie. It includes many, cool monsters of mythology: a Cyclops, skeletons, Naga, Dragons, and two-headed Roc, and so many more bits of Ray Harryhausen goodness. And there is something unearthly and slightly extra-creepy with Harryhausen's stop-motion animation, which makes the monsters all the more seemingly monstrous.
This was done with Acrylic Paint and a limited palette of: Paynes Gray, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Primary Cyan.

STEP ONE: Here is a quick, color breakdown done to suggest the general layout on the page. It is painted on an 8-1/2" x 11" extra thick cardstock which was primed with a 50/50 mix of gesso and matte medium.

STEP TWO: And here's the next pass to just try to tighten everything up for the painting.

STEP THREE: It's the finished painting done with lots and lots and lots of back-and-forth.
