Frankensteins Monster - Tumblr Posts
Sticking with the Frankenstein theme in my recent work, I finished a portrait of Victor's little experiment!
Design Notes: Victor's Portrait (I mention it here a couple times.)
A lot of my decisions for this were based on my previous portrait, so I could have as much contrast between the two as possible.
He's a quite purple, but this was to insure that he had a clearly cooler skin tone than the one I used prior. I also just like coloring purple skin. (:
The darker marks are supposed to look like muscle under the skin, though not every muscle is represented.
Victor's portrait has him facing in the opposite direction of this one, and his eyes are a cool green that contrasts against the warm skin. Here, the warm eyes contrast cold skin.
There's no halo this time. I considered adding a broken, sliver one, but I like the implied power imbalance between the characters.
Critique is always welcome, and the ID is under the cut! (:
Have a wonderful day/night! (:
[ID: A portrait of Frankenstein's monster. He has dull purple skin, and muscle fibers are visible under it. Silver staples hold together pieces of the skin along seems around the neck and extending from the jaw. His lips and hair are dark, almost black. His eyes are a bright yellow. End ID]
Some Frankenstein-related questions I’ve been thinking about:
Content Warning(s): body horror, death
Is the lovely Creature haunted? In the novel Victor shrugs off the concept of spirits while he’s working, but in the musical, in the song “Waking Nightmare” Creature remembers what it was like dead.
How will he age? Will he at all? It’s reasonable to assume that his different parts are different ages. But, if he doesn’t age, could he reach a form of immortality, provided he doesn’t injure himself?
If he did injure himself, could he rebuild parts of himself?
Does his hair grow/how fast? Victor could have made an actual scalp, but he also ould have done what doll artists do when putting new plugs of hair in the head. (Look up doll re-roots on YouTube if you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s a fun process to watch.)
Does he have a similar personality to the person who’s brain he’s using?
Did Victor have to use human parts? How many times could he not find a satisfactory piece in the charnels, and decided to use something from an animal?
How many bodies did Victor use? Creature was built larger than a normal human to give Victor more room to work, but Victor would have had to go out of his way to find (or make?) pieces to match the scale.
Are parts of Creature not quite symmetrical because of that?
Like a chicken nugget?

I thought of something cool..
What if RWBY had characters based off of monsters (horror, fantasy, sci-fi, folklore, mythology, or religion)?
Hear me out…
Vampire/Dracula: Bat Faunus with … Semblance
Werewolf/Wolf Man: Wolf Faunus with wind Semblance (y’know, like the Big Bad Wolf)
Frankenstein’s Monster: Human-Grimm or human-robot hybrid with electricity Semblance
Mad Scientist: Human with electricity Semblance
Mummy: Human-Grimm hybrid with wrapping Semblance
Creature of Black Lagoon: Fish Faunus with water Semblance
Invisible Man: Human with invisibility Semblance
Phantom of the Opera: Human with song Semblance
Igor: … with … Semblance
Jekyll and Hyde: Human with … Semblance
Witch: (idk since Glynda exists) Human with … Semblance
Ghost: … with intangibility Semblance (think Mirio from BNHA/MHA)
Skeleton: … with bone Semblance
Zombie: Human-Grimm hybrid with … Semblance
Plant Monster: Human with plant Semblance
Gorgon/Medusa: Snake Faunus with petrification Semblance
Pumpkin Monster: Human with plant(?) Semblance (a little redundant)
Demon: Bat Faunus with fire Semblance
Angel: Dove Faunus with … Semblance
Gargoyle: Chimera(?) Faunus with stone Semblance (another redundant Semblance)
Goblin: … with … Semblance
I couldn’t think of anything species and/or Semblances for some of the monsters, but it would be cool if someone created an OC/team based on them.

hello all, i made a silly quiz to procrastinate on uni work! take it if you want, and let me know what you get in the tags/replies !!

Creechur fanart for @brightgoat :)
Frankenstein is truly written by a woman
Everyone in the story acts on their emotions, their dramatics led to tragedy, and the cycle of pain stopped when the captain of the ship Victor died on told the monster to stop being such a massive drama queen.
Frankenstein AU where Viktor was a responsible science dad and he even introduced his giant son to his friends and family and everything was fine actually :)
I’m gonna be making a couple of monster-mimi adopts this month in the spirit of Halloween! This cutie is a franken-bunny. I’m selling her here and on dA for $25, so message me if you’re interested!
(if no one is, I’ll definitely put her to use!)
Oh yeah, this is now my Frankenstein’s monster/ creature/ Adam. This is what Mary Shelley’s version looks like for me. If you disagree you’re wrong!/j no but Fr, like I said, this is MY version. If you disagree or don’t even call him Adam, cool
i think if i read the novel before watching monster high i would definitely be a frankie stein stan but oh well anyway some creature fanart for your mind and soul
at the end of the day i think what this post is missing is an understanding that situations are not black or white. just because victor isn't bad doesn't mean he's good.
victor is flawed and he makes bad decisions that ultimately hurt those around him for very real and valid reasons.
OP has made the leap that, because victor isn't inherently bad, he is inherently good/right. then this is taken a step further by saying that because victor is good, adam must be bad. this point is justified through a series of entirely misconstrued and twisted retellings of the events in the book.
adam is flawed and he makes bad decisions that ultimately hurt those around him for very real and valid reasons.
they are both just guys -- humans living their lives and being flawed and hurting people.
I'm so protective of Victor Frankenstein, because everyone is like "the creature is actually completely right and he should have just made a second creature and it would be fine" or "he shouldn't have abandoned his creation" and like, come on.
First of all, he didn't abandoned the creature. He basically spent 9 months obsessing of creating this thing because (a) his mother died and he developed a morbid fascination with death to cope and (b) his father, instead of explaining why alchemy was a bad idea, just dismissed his interest out of hand. But the thing was that it wasn't //actually// supposed to work. And he also isn't eating or sleeping and he is mentally Not Well. But then the creature opens it's eyes and it's terrifying because even though it should be beautiful, being made of beautiful parts, it is still made of fucking corpses.
So, Victor passes the fuck out and wakes up after the creature has escaped. And then he's like, wtf was that?? Am I going insane?? He doesn't go looking for the creature because he thinks he made it up in his head. I think his friend was also like, "hey, dude, I think you just have a fever."
And then he finds out that his 6yo brother has been MURDERED and his childhood friend is accused of having killed the child, so he goes home. He can't even say, "hey, I think I made a monster that did this" because no one will believe him. And this creature shows up and tells him that it killed his brother simply because it hated Victor. It killed a young child because it wanted to hurt Victor. Now it wants Victor to make a second creature like the first.
And, for the record, the creature has been having a hard time because its a giant walking corpse and people aren't giving it a chance to prove that it can read Shakespeare. Here's the thing. The creature is smart. It reads classic literature. It speaks well. It is also cunning. After snapping William's neck, it frames Justine by slipping William's gold locket in her apron pocket.
Victor takes responsibility for this. He is aware at this point that he has fucked around and found out. He feels guilty about his little brother's death, and the execution of his friend. He agrees to create a second creature out of fear, but then decides that he will accept his fate and let the creature kill him because he is afraid that, given how terribly the first creature turned out, he will be endangering more people. What he didn't count on was that the creature would not actually kill him (he is its only shot at getting a companion, after all) and would instead kill his best friend and his wife.
The creature is lonely, but it's first response to rejection was not to seek its creator and ask for a companion. Its response was to murder people weaker than it, then seek out a companion from Victor through threats of violence. Why would he want to help it at that point? Why would he trust it?
the reason I was gone for so long was bc I got sucked into my new hyperfixation. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. I read the book and fell in love. I watched the musical too.
Monster Girl - Gigi
Dr. Franky wanted to create himself a cute horror GF, but unfortunately for him (and fortunately for his roommates), she is a big ole lesbian.
They're still good friends though and he's always there when she starts falling apart.
