@StazJohnson Yes, I like the hint of mosquito design of the tripods. I do believe that these paintings were a joint effort between Dey and Roger Dean but I have no idea how they apportioned the work on them.

@JohnOttaway Thanks, John. That means a lot.

I know this sounds a little odd, but because I had such a depressing experience trying to pitch/get a publishing deal for my last unreleased book that I have been riven by anxiety to even try again.

Fingers crossed this time.

Right, cleared my plate of other tasks and now I can start to draw again. I haven’t drawn anything at all this year, not even touched a pencil, so I’m not sure that I can still draw (or if ever could)!

All I have done is write, write some more, edit and plot new ideas.

Gulp!

Portraits of the Beast People (Moreau’s human/animal hybrids) from the 1933 “Island of Lost Souls.”

It’s a shame we don’t get a better look at more of the makeup effects in the final film. However, considering that it was banned in many countries at the time it’s not surprising.

Love all the little tiny stop motion human dolls that appear in several shots. It’s really hard to imagine how painstakingly this film was to create 87 yeas ago with its combination of optical effects and miniatures mixed with live actors.

I also still have a thing for the tail dragging dinosaurs of old. The more modern CG scienced-up dinosaurs of modern cinema might look more ‘realistic’ but I find them homogenous and still love the charm of the ‘dragons’ of O’Brien and Harryhausen.

Bilal would later return to the imagery of God-like figures as if hewn from stone and emerging from walls and imposing stone structures in his own directed movies based on his comic work - “Immortal” 2004.

Bilal talks of Mann using Bilal’s Berlin Wall artwork of bodies trapped in the wall to create the imagery of the German/Nazi soldiers fused into the walls of The Keep. You can see here some of Bilal’s own artwork and how it influences The Keep via the photo from the set.

@westonfront @Robwilliams71 Dinner time! You and the old master, Chris. :)

Some more. Have to love all that twisting architecture and that giant clock head. ‘Shut it down!’
