I would like to thank the Paris Olympic people for personally catering to my own weird and very specific interests. I'm confused and flattered.

A week ago, I watched the silent film 'The Man Who Laughs' from 1928. Thought it funny to redraw a promotional poster with Batman's most early designs.

lhqr outfit musings... (underlayers, everyday outfits, performance / out on the town outfits)
#em draws stuff#l'homme qui rit#the man who laughs#déa#gwynplaine#LONG AWAITED IMAGE. as in this has been slightly more than a month in the works. oh boy.#and also happy belated birthday to tumblr user (and my pal) ned sneez - he who got me interested in these two!#here are your little guys and many happy returns of the day :)#...most of my usual tag-commentary has been relocated into annotations today... I feel like I should add more grime and mends#but frankly it has been one million years of copypasting and selecting and forgetting which layer was which and I wish this done#at some point I want to go back and try drawing gwyn with his hair down as well#I tried on the third slide here but it did not look very good so I put it back :|#oh whale. guess I have to draw him again <- opposite of a problem

Do You Know This Disabled Character?
Gwynplaine is always smiling, due to surgery in childhood.

The silent film The Man Who Laughs (1928) has entered the public domain!
I’d highly recommend it if any of these things intrigue you:
Conrad Veidt, known for such roles as Cesare in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Major Strasser in Casablanca (1942), & more
Mary Philbin, who played Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera (1920)
the iconic slit mouth look that inspired DC’s Joker
enjoying a Victor Hugo story without reading a Victor Hugo length novel
You can even watch it right on its Wikipedia page!

when they make me the new victor hugo everyone will be catboys
[gwynplaine version of this, by the inestimable catcrumb]
#em draws stuff#l'homme qui rit#the man who laughs#gwynplaine#drawn in the car while being Slowly Baked by weathers. can't recommend even a little.#it feels like all I've drawn lately is in the black and red color palette... however I have zero intention of stopping#also I have only one colored pen that I Like. which is why my sketchbook looks the way it does.
