Like, here's how I think a conversation with these two would go:

Victor: So that's how my whole life was ruined by a vile monster created by my hand.

Prometheus, currently chained to a rock in the middle of the sea so dipshits like Victor could progress and think for themselves: ... I wonder if the eagle can peck out my brain this time...

Ok so hot take, but I don't like the phrase "Modern Prometheus" when describing Victor Frankenstein. Because unlike Victor, Prometheus actually cared about his creations (humanity) and sought to protect them (gave them fire). And when he was found out by Zeus, he took responsibility for his actions, but didn't apologize for doing what he thought was right. Sure Victor created life, but he abandoned it for looking at him funny.

Thank you @marquisedemasque and everyone who got me to 25 reblogs!

Okay so I just thought of an idea for a TV show based on Frankenstein where it follows the creature on his journey as he learns about the world, but it focuses on his appearance, specifically his body parts.

Like each episode would be about a different body part that Victor used to make him and it cuts between present day with the creature and the past with the person that body part originally belonged to. The episode goes on to show what that person's life was like, how they acted, and eventually how they died.

For example: the creature's hands belonged to a poor, but talented painter and the episode focuses on the creature using his hands (building shelter, making fire, drawing in the dirt with a stick, etc).

Or the creature's face/head belonged to a beautiful male prostitute and the episode shows the similarities/contrast with how he was treated and how the creature is treated.

Goddamnit Victor, just because your a genius in science doesn’t mean your a genius in other aspects of life!

Father and Son

I wanted to show the sheer scale of the creature compared to the average height of people in the Victorian era, so I drew my take on Victor! And, yes, I did use Timothée Chalamet as a reference because no matter what Guillermo del Toro would have me believe, Victor Frankenstein is a skinny, dehydrated college rat in my mind (this was intended as a complement to Timothée I truly think he would crush this role).

Thought I’d post another drawing of the creature now that I’ve finished Frankenstein! Hope you enjoy it! (I made the bird tiny for scale to show how big he is)

I changed it a little, don't know if it's for better or worse but it is what it is

We're reading Frankenstein in my college lit class and the topic of the creature's appearance came up. We were arguing about whether or not he was truly hideous. Some of us thought he looked relatively normal, but with scary eyes and some scarring while others thought he looked more like your stereotypical zombie.

My professor had this to say about the monster's appearance:

"Imagine the most handsome man you can think of. Someone who is well known for being conventionally attractive. That man is now dead, and his head is carefully sewn onto another dead man's torso. All his new body parts are proportionate, but his skin- which has been decaying for who knows how long- has lost all its luster and turned to a yellowish tint. His watery eyes are an unnatural shade of yellow. And he's towering over you at 8ft tall. Is he still handsome?"

Been reading Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and I decided to draw my take on the creature. Hope you like him! I’m a big fan of the book so far!

The new image of the strawhats in season 2 has had me in the chokehold for the past 48 hours! I’m not satisfied with some of the faces (Sanji in particular), but I need to share this before I go crazy. Hope you like it!!!!!

Nami!!! Emily Rudd the woman you are 🥰.

Recently got an iPad air and downloaded Procreate during Christmas! I feel confident enough to post one of my new favorite pieces of art: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy! I'm still learning how to use Procreate so expect an improvement in quality in the future.

I started this painting of the Yule Cat a while ago and never finished it. If you don't know about the Yule Cat, I highly recommend you Google it. It's a giant cat that eats children who don't do their chores and he's one of my favorite Christmas adjacent folk characters!

A few little Agatha all along sketches

I'm really proud of this piece, because it only comes together into a coherent scene like this from a distance - up close it's really hard to make sense of and involved a lot of abstract-seeming shapes and colors. But it all works together!!!

Nøkken Among the Lilies

Thought I'd post a pic of my summer acrylic painting.

The Nøkken (also known as Näcken, Nøkk, Nixie, or Nix) is a water spirit from Scandinavian Folklore. He is known to reside in still bodies of water, hiding in the lily pads and fern. Nøkken was said to play the violin, fiddle, or harp so beautifully it lured people to the bodies of water where they drowned.

Nevermind I'm full of rage and I want to break a man in half. The world is cruel and unfair but that won't stop me from going at it with claws out and screaming defiance.

I've decided not to engage with the outside world anymore. If you need me I will be curled up in a ball in my nest hibernating. Wake me up in about 4 years when the tides may turn again. I'll be ready.

“There are other forces at work in this world besides the will of evil.”

Really funny to watch dude bros struggle to explain how Agatha All Along is bad without being overtly homophobic, sexist, or racist.

In May I worked on touching up my acrylic paintings. Here's my first attempt at the Nøkken sitting in a still body of water playing his fiddle.

There's another scene at Nojiko's hut where she says that Nami is "a thief with no conscience. And when there's no more left to take she leaves and doesn't turn back." As she says this you can see Zoro looking down with an expression of... disappointment. Like deep down he was hoping Luffy would be proven right about Nami's character, but Nojiko's words just further confirm his suspicions.

Then Nojiko says something that makes him look up: "My sister doesn't have any friends."

Those were the last words Zoro said to Nami before his duel with Mihawk. This does two things 1) it shows Zoro (and the audience) that Nami wasn't lying during their drinking game at Baratie when she said she didn't have any friends, 2) it makes him feel guilty.

Because of my last video, I've been thinking a lot about this moment, about Zoro's little step back when Nami sees them for the first time since the betrayal, and I wonder if it was something written in the script or if Mackenyu (or another person like the director or the writers during filming) came up with it on the spot. Because I really love it.

I mean, the others were there when Nami's betrayal takes place but Zoro doesn't see it, Luffy has to tell him what happened. So this is the first time they see each other since he directly hurt her with her own words. Since he used her own vulnerability against her just to get her to leave him alone.

So the fact that he is almost intimidated by her when they see each other again after the absolute disaster that was their last conversation (and without him knowing what she has been doing for him during his convalescence), is a great detail to me.

A quick comic about OPLA Chopper🦌 And maybe a little Zosan😏

This is one of my favorite paintings I've done.

These are Huldra or Hulderfolk from Scandinavian folklore. Hulderfolk are seductive forest spirits and their name translates loosely to "hidden" or "secret". They're said to look like normal women with the only difference being the hole in their back that resembles a hollowed tree and the long cow-like tail which they hide under their skirts. If you encounter a Huldra and treat her with respect, she will be very helpful (sharing the best fishing spots or tending to your charcoal kiln), but mistreat her and the punishment will be severe (being beaten to death with her tail or taken into the mountains never to be seen again).

Just thought I'd share the first Scandinavian creature I ever painted.

Nisse are little gnomish creatures that live in your house. They can be very mischievous if not treated with the respect they deserve (i.e. leaving a hot bowl of porridge out for them) or if you're generally neglectful to your house and livestock.

Progress photos of my Nøkken painting back in May.

And here's the finished product. (Although I might always add touch ups because my work is never finished).

Listen I completely understand why people skip the filler in One Piece because it’s already so long, but then you miss gems like Zoro getting forcibly adopted and bullied by a gaggle of orphans for an entire episode

POV you drew this in 2022 after discovering Panic! at the Disco because you couldn't stop thinking about that part in the Emperor's New Clothes music video where his spine cracked so hard it altered your brain chemistry:
