31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
Prince of Darkness
Hey, it another John Carpenter movie, this time his under-rated (IMHO) "Prince of Darkness". It really hit all the right buttons for me: a Cosmic Horror being kept in the basement of an old church and a group of scientists trying to stop an intrusion by the Anti-God, which would bring about unimaginable horrors to the planet. All that and a recurring dream which all the characters share which is an encoded message from the future sent back via Tachyons. Cool!
Granted, watching it today, it is a little more slow moving and does have some strange acting/writing choices, but overlooking those, I think it still holds up. I mean, in an 80's sort of way.
There's something about the understatement of "I've got a message for you, and you aren't going to like it" which I find somewhat amusing, as he discorporate into a pile of bugs.

STEP ONE: The pencils were quickly scribbled on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.

STEP TWO: Here's the real quick first layer of acrylic paint.

STEP THREE: And here's the finished painting, although the scanner just refused to do a proper job on this one. It seems to mostly happen with painting with higher contrast. I'll have to look into that at some later time when I'm not trying to get these done as soon as possible.
