Concept Art from 5 Great Movies

I'm a total geek when it comes to concept art, I fuck'n love it! I love looking at it, it one of the reasons I've watched the special features on the Special Edition King Kong (2005) so many times, because it show so much of it. The image above is actually from that movie!

And if you like concept art, then you need to read this article because I'll be show concept art from 5 different movies! All of which are monster movies!

#5. Return of the Living Dead

I only have one photo for this movie, and it's amazing. Is is one of my favorite movies, and my second favorite zombie movie.Is is some beautiful art, I really like the Tar Man and First Corpse, they really are incredible. The Half Corpse is pretty badass too. Jaws also is badass, but you know what, they are!

#4: Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla (1993)
Okay this has some of the greatest concept art you'll ever see. It's the first one that I can have a group of pictures too. I personally think that the concept art is way cooler cooler than the stuff in the movie, especially the Mecha Godzilla stuff. The one above I'm really not a huge fan of, but these ones below are awesome, and I think that they should have gone with the red one below. 











 #3: Alien 
I'm sure we've all seen this already, but I thought I include it anyway. There is some weird shit in this. H. R. Giger imagined these monster very different, and much, much more weird. 








































#2: Critters


I thought this was pretty cool. I've never seen this concept art, and it's pretty cool. The one above is most likely the final design. There's a bunch more of these pictured below.





























#1: The Mist

Well this is one of my favorite movies, and it's got some of the best concept art ever. It's some of my favorite. And it's one of the movies where the concept art is way cooler cooler than the monster that are used in the movie. These flys are some of the coolest too, and the Behemoth.






















































Well that's it, I'll try and get a couple more articles in by Halloween. Thanks for read...

Three More Lovecraftian Horrors!


Well I guess we're doing another one of these. So let's talk some more Lovecraftian Horrors. I think we've gone over what Lovecraftian Horrors are enough, so let's just get straight to the Horrors.

Splendor Man

Splendor counts as much as Slender, because they're basically the exact same thing, one just isn't evil. Splendor birthed from a YouTube video, in which we shows up to make people happy. Though, he was originally happy and nice, with the internet, things change. Splendor Man became a part of the contemporary Slender Man Mythos.

As stated above, he isn't as happy anymore. People have adapted him into contemporary, he is often depicted as Rage Splendor Man, where he is much more evil looking and scary, with a red lined mouth and red pupils. And in his rage form, he's evil, and scary, and way, way, way cooler.

Splendor Man appears in my on-going series SlenderTruth, which you can read here!!! - [LINK]

Nyarlathotep
It just now accrued to me that we've been taking about Lovecraftian Horrors and we haven't included a monster created by Lovecraft himself. So why not include Nyarlathotep? I really like the common interpretation of Nyarlathotep, even though I tried reading the debut story, and couldn't follow it in anyway.

I do know what he is though, I just didn't read his book, this is how I am with most of Lovecraft's Horrors. I don't have a lot to say about Nyarlathotep though.







The Operator
So because I'm lazy, I'm gonna include another version of slander man... Yay! The Operator is from Marble Hornets, and in my opinion, the scariest version of Slendy to ever be.

The Operator, though, isn't really a different version of Slendy, well according to the creators of Marble Hornets that is... But he's still Slendy, tee hee.

Marble Hornets doesn't even use the Slender Mythos apparently, which also means that Masky and Hoody aren't really proxies.


Welp, that's it for now, this little series could very well last after the Halloween season. But for now, it's over... Maybe...
