Yesterday, contemplating the doctor's removal of a little cyst on (in) my cheek, I doodled this bumply monster face. Unfinished, it's still a decent Tuesday art post (while I'm searching out some good generational photos ...). The creature has a round nose "hole" because I started it out as a front view of one of my "gun nose" people, but it mutated into a standard monster instead. I'm not sure if I'll go back and retrofit a new nose or not. Time will tell.
BTW: Good on ye, Tom M. and Ellis! Very interesting views through the past.

I like the nose shape. It's a nice big shape in the midst of a lot of surrounding texture detail. Reminds me of the old movie The Alligator People, featuring one of Lon Chaney Jr's best performances.
I like the nose as a circle also. My goofy mind automatically goes to: "It would be funny if his nose was a button that unlocked something." See goofy.
And I thought he was some kind of mutated clown...
It's got a little bit of Bernie Wrightson to it.
Woo ... that's high praise indeed ... enough to fuel another month's worth of drawings! I always admired how Wrightson could capture those low and high angle establishing shots of his characters, like one of the pages from Swamp Thing #1 where the bad guys are entering the barn/lab for the first time; everyone in the panel is caught in a pose that conveys action while focusing attention on the newcomers.
