Day 14: The Invisible Man (1933) Mash-Up - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
The Invisible Man (1933)

I often joke about having to use a blank picture and say it is "The Invisible Man" if I ever don't finish a drawing/painting in time.  Well, in this case, I did the Claude Rains "Invisible Man" as a mash-up with Charles Schulz's Charlie Brown for no reason whatsoever.  Well, other than I wanted to do something with "The Invisible Man" since I was doing the Universal Monsters and all.  And the image of having him as Charlie Brown popped into my head, so I decided to go with it (and will do a few more in this vein, perhaps).

Alongside that image, I thought it would have been amusing to have him writing a variation of Rorschach's Journal from "Watchmen": "Invisible Man's journal. October 14th, 2025. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face..." but thought it was maybe a bit too much, with a hat on a hat on top of yet a third hat.

STEP THREE:  Here are the plain colors also done in Rebelle.

STEP FOUR:  I opened the color plate in Photoshop and used the Color Halftone filter.  And then I imported the finished picture into Clip Studio Paint and placed the paper texture over top.
