I Spent Way Too Long On This One - 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]
