Day 21: M3GAN (2022) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024

 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
M3GAN (2022)

10 days left--it's the Final Countdown!  (Queue the song of the same name by Europe.)  

While I half expected M3GAN to open her mouth and say "Hi, I'm Chucky.  Wanna play?", it was a mostly fun addition to the Robot-as-Best-Friend-Turned-Homicidal-Killer genre.  And the M3GAN dance became a sort of short-lived meme or sorts and rightly so: if I saw a robot with an uncanny valley face suddenly, randomly dancing like that, I do believe I would be wetting my pants--this time with terror.

STEP ONE:  Here are the hastily scribbled digital pencils done on a 2,550px x 3,300px canvas.

STEP TWO:  Here are the digital inks.  I decided to just silhouette the dancing for two reasons: First, that many tiny M3GAN's seemed a more graphical element and evoked the Apple iPod ads from back int he day (like the "Attack the Block" last week).  Second, and most obvious, I was running out of time.

STEP THREE:  And here's the finished digital painting.
