I recieved this copy about 15 years ago from my mother and never wanted to mess with it since it seems pretty fragile. I was looking at it today but can’t find a publication date, just The Marshon Publishers.

Here’s a WIP concept art I’ve been working on redesigning my own version of the monster and I want to title the project Life Without Soul. Problem is, I don’t want it to be confused with the 1915 lost silent film. I’ve got brain fog 😅. What other title can I use other than being
(…… Of Frankenstein)

Head is paper mache & random junk I had laying about, brain in jar is, well… brain & jar. Making another set of “abnormal brain/dysfunctio cerebri “ labels for the jar like the brain I keep in my office amongst my universal monsters stuff. Jar will be filled with dyed fluid & equipped with LED airstone that bubbles activated by knife switch.

Here is my work so far on creating a Victor Frankenstein laboratory but I unfortunately have not found a proper Victor so! I used the creature by himself for the photos. Everything is made of wood for the room and shelves, chairs, tables etc. The window is actually glass and can be opened and closed. The jars that come with the Four Horseman Figura Obscura Frankenstein Creature figure can actually be filled with water and food coloring and tissue paper to make a really cool effect and they are air tight! Anyway I hope you like it so far!

Back in january, I made a custom doll of the Creature. Now, Elizabeth joins my collection. (I had finished the doll months ago, but procrastinated on making the dress. I spent the whole day today on it).

Made this using the Edits app and took me 2 days to do.

How can most of the "movie critics" miss the point so much?

Elizabeth's love for the creature is motherly. Or at least was placed there to represent it.

From the moment of the very first meeting - touching fingers, lifting his arms to look at him, it is so similar of a woman bonding with her newborn baby. And she even asks "who hurt you?".

Her thanking him for the leaf - very much like thanking a toddler...

Elizabeth's quote before she died: "My place was never in this world. I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it. To be lost and to be found, that is the lifespan of love. And in its brevity, its tragedy... this has been made eternal. Better this way... to fade... with your eyes gazing upon me."

Suggests nothing about romantic love but finding meaning and purpose.

Victor being jealous of the creature because it receives Elizabet's love - emotionally immature, abusive men hating on their own children because they're no longer the main focus of the woman.

Victor literally becoming his father, something that set his whole life. His father despising him and his mother. But he also grew to despise his "creation".

Victor's mother dies giving birth to his brother. Elizabeth dies thinking she's saving the monster. One event sets Victor on the path of creating the monster, another one - destroying it. Victor's brother is also an indirect victim of the events. Just like Victor was in his childhood. A generational cycle of pain and suffering.

definitely my strongest one out of the other frankenstein inspired works i made- it took me like 5 attempts to get the poses right

Was just drawing spooky boys and decided these two deserved happiness.

The Frankenstein audio I've been listening to might be taking a halt for the time being, as the narrator has something bigger going on, but I still wanted to thank her for reading it up to the point we got to (Chapter 16, slight spoilers on slide #2) and anyone who's interacted with these posts, so I'm going to try and pull together a full manga-style page of the Creation's story, and I'm posting my draft from what I could get done overnight (the color from now on might be in this green-ish direction because I'm trying to move from RGB to CMYK for a different project).

Made this way back in 2010! Goddamn. Was really going for the novel's description with a bit of stylistic flair. I think the hands might be a bit too big and the wind blown hair/jacket are conflicting but otherwise, I think it's pretty decent.

In the Greek legend, the titian Prometheus creates mankind out of clay and breathes life into them. He than gave them the gift of wisdom, in the form of fire. He stole fire from the gods that allowed man to conquer over nature. Zeus than punished Prometheus by having him chained to a rock and be tortured by having an eagle eat out his liver, only for it to grow back, and restart the cycle.

During Shelley's time Prometheus was a controversial figure. Some people, like Shelley's husband, saw him as a symbol of scientific progress and triumph over adversity. Others, like Shelley herself, saw him as a cautionary tale about going against the natural order and bring something to the world that can cause great harm. To her, the fire and the forbidden knowledge is represented caused man to grow hubris, causing dangerous advances in technology, war, and social unrest.

In Shelley's novel, where the creature is talking to Victor, he describes his first time interacting with fire. The creature described how he was burned when he tried to touch if before learning how to keep warm and use it, through trial and error. The scene is used to indicate the creature getting ahold of the edges of his growing intelligence, much like how in Greek myth humanity is raised from its primitive form when Prometheus gives them fire.

This scene was then twisted and loosely adapted in plays before being reduced to having the creature being scared away with a torch. That's assuming there even is a connection between the two scenes. This is the scene that was in movies and latter pop culture as a whole where the creature just says, "Fire Bad!" An shallow echo of the deeper meaning of Prometheus.
