Frankenstein

  My apologies for not posting sooner, has been a hectic few months. I plan to never be this absent again.
    I've always been a huge fan of the classic horror stories. Not sure why but I think they were scarier but also had a human element to them, they seemed to be more the victims in a sense.
Frankenstein or should I say his monster was the perfect example of that. Gentle being turned monster from the mistreatment and ignorance of others.
     The real scary part of it for me is the idea of bringing life back to the dead (even though we all might wish we could at some point in our lives.) Most of us I'm sure wouldn't want to use remains of different people to do it.
   But the idea does have artistic curiosities (Now I'm seeing where the scientists get their urges from)
So I've been sketching some ideas for a monster which I've posted below.
Much of my inspiration comes from the novel Frankenstein's Diary. Fantastic view from the Doctors perspective.
As always I welcome any comments.
Hope you enjoy it.

T.S.
   "I am Legion, for I am many."   (from Frankenstein the True Story in reference to his being made of different people.) 
                                                       
                                           The monster, learning to walk using apparatus.

                                        Had fun researching physicians tools of the 1800's.
A great way to learn anatomy.
