31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023:
Malum (2023)
"Malum" (2023) is a remake of 2014's "Last Shift" (I admit I haven't seen that one) by the same creative team. The story involves a rookie cop taking the last shift at a decommissioned police station--the same station where her previous hero father, also a cop, had shot and killed several officers before being killed, himself. During her shift, she is on a mission to find out what really happened... and that's when the cultists of the Low God begin to show up.
Gruesome special effects and a claustrophobic, foreboding sense of dread permeate the movie, with many scenes messing with reality so you are constantly off-kilter as to what is "real" and what is imaginary, and even question if there is a difference.
This was done with Acrylic Paint and a palette of: Paynes Gray, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Deep Red, and Primary Cyan.

STEP ONE: Here is a quick, color breakdown done over some hastily scribbled pencils. 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 second and third pass with acrylic paint.

STEP THREE: It's the finished painting.
