Might even put up some of the sketches I did, they have more of the Burton look you like.paulhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-9898956021201401592007-07-22T11:43:00.000+01:002007-07-22T11:43:00.000+01:00Oh, I don't mean to be negative.

The picure's great, so don't worry about the glove; I would do it differently, but I think it's just a matter of style and personal taste.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-77906417837794944262007-07-21T18:06:00.000+01:002007-07-21T18:06:00.000+01:00Cheers folks!Paul - Not sure how I'm getting on wi...Cheers folks!<BR/>Paul - Not sure how I'm getting on with colouring, I'm just not subjective enough about my stuff, but I am enjoying doing it. Textures are fun to play with, I'm sure the longer use them the less I'll use them, in the hope of being more effective.<BR/>Andrew - Yeah, the 1st is the most effective. I think the only thing the later ones have going for them is the sticky looking fx. Mind you that last Wes Craven one was an interesting take.<BR/>Kelvin - Tim Burton's not really a influence, but I know what you mean. I'm a big fan of Richard Sala and Edward Gorey and Burton's art owes a lot to Gorey.<BR/>Fair point about the glove, probably a touch of red might help, or even if I'd actually drawn it as a glove instead of sharp fingers!paulhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-68202210257630861922007-07-20T21:56:00.000+01:002007-07-20T21:56:00.000+01:00Ooh...

Nicely done.<BR/><BR/>The only change I'd make is to jazz up the glove a bit, but I'm not sure exactly how I'd go about it.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-22632725343671619892007-07-20T00:50:00.000+01:002007-07-20T00:50:00.000+01:00Freddy was great in the first film,his make-up muc...Freddy was great in the first film,his make-up much more scary,then the make-up became more of a caricature of that first film and too joky as a film series.
