As October was on the way, I figured I'd post my series of fanmade cover art of the rest of the Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters film series.

All the 4K front covers were made on September 18 while the Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Blu-ray front cover was made on August 5. Meanwhile with the back covers, for this, I went with making 'em reminiscent to the old VHS back covers.

SUMMARY: The bumbling comedians try to make a buck guarding a valuable mummy, before they're drawn into a plot by cult worshippers to steal a cursed medallion.

Anyway, my next dumb movie-watching project is going to be watching all of the Universal Invisible Man series. I've only ever seen the original, I'm pretty sure both Vincent Price and Peter Lorre are in there somewhere, and I believe there's an Invisible-Man-versus-the-Nazis film.

I should be done with the audiobook by this weekend, so I'll likely start the series then.

Today, my lunchtime entertainment is an audiobook of The Invisible Man, which I've read before but probably not since middle school.

You guys, this book is so extremely funny. I'm on chapter 9 and so far the book has primarily been slapstick comedy.

I'm most familiar with this story via the 1933 film, which definitely has funny bits (god bless Una O'Connor) but the book has so much more time to stretch them out for entire chapters of people trying to arrest this terribly angry man who keeps getting away by stripping all his clothes off and keeps getting found again because he can't stop either swearing at people or sneezing (because it's winter, he has no clothes, and he's caught a terrible chill).

Everyone in this book is ridiculous and I love them.

Valentino took so long to redesign!!

Tried to go for a more anthro-moth look based loosely on the Crimson Speckled Bella Moth (Utetheisa pulchella). Choose this moth specifically due to the white, black and pink colors to call to Angel’s palette. But also darkening them to contrast him too.

These moths also feast on forget-me-not flowers which make them super poisonous to eat. Which fit in nicely with his toxic personality.

Went with a more “macho” 70’s look to compliment Vox, who also has that same brand. Along with the outfit that he reveals when he opens up his wings.

I actually prefer that design over the one mostly shown in the show. It’s more visually interesting and gives better insight into his character.

Tried to find a nice balance between imposing and spindly, mainly by giving him more muscle. It was really difficult to try and make the body shape recognizable, and make poses. I kept going for more creature in the end.

Although it’s not as expressed, he has four fingers on his main two hands. His other two arms are shorter and have three fingers. And his feet/claws are supposed to look like heels.

If you’re wondering where his wings are, he lost them in a gang war that led him to gain overlord status. I’ve been working on this through-line for overlords wherein they loose something in order to gain that status. Valentino lost his wings, Velvette lost her eye and sweetness, Vox becomes more of a literal object etc.

It’s not a requirement for overlords, but it does happen one way or another, and it doesn’t always have to affect their body.

On that note of Vox, they are not in any romantic relationship. Even though he has a better rapport with Vox it still doesn’t change the fact that he sees him as an object, like he does with everyone else. Even more so that Vox is a literal object. Val is affectionate for him, but in the same way one is probably affectionate for a toaster or phone.

Vox feels no attraction towards him, but feels as if he has to stay anyway. Mainly through Val gaslighting him out of arguments, and feeling like he owes him for pulling him out of the gutter and taking a chance on him.

Writing it so that eventually he kills off Valentino after reuniting and making up with Alastor, with it finally hitting him that he doesn’t need Valentino anymore and that he’s better off without him. Especially since he has a huge mega corporation.

There’s a lot more I could go into, but I might save that for questions and future posts.

Random thing: Old drawing with outdated designs and a joke that doesn’t make sense, but wanted to use anyway. I haven’t stopped thinking about the clip cause it fits for so many characters. Namely a certain vampiress from a place where the residents are evil.

From Abbott and Costello Meets the Mummy by the way. Still one of my favorite movies that you can watch for free on Internet Archives! I cannot express why it is still my favorite but then again it’s put up there with Videodrome, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the FNAF Movie so who am I to say.

I don’t know where I was trying to take that sentence.
