i'm too young to go to frog jail!

Guillermo del Toro’s spellbinding take on one of the most enduring of all modern myths, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, imbues the classic tale with new depths of humanity while pushing it toward dazzling heights of gothic grandeur. Shifting between the perspectives of the brilliant but callous Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature (Jacob Elordi) he fashions from flesh and then cruelly mistreats, del Toro movingly reframes the legend as a story of fathers and sons struggling to break free from cycles of trauma. A decades-in-the-making triumph of darkly ravishing visual invention and operatic storytelling, Frankenstein is a deeply personal statement from a director who has long been drawn to the realm where men and monsters merge.

im on a fucking roll guys holy crud

i’ll put it below a cut and also tw for blood and gore even though it’s fake

1. how i made meg’s heart!

took me. so long. tinfoil base so i could get it to size without it being too heavy (the end product was still wicked heavy 😭). i used air-dry clay—pretty sure it was craftsmart brand so it wasn’t even too expensive, i just needed a lot of it. that’s where i filled out the shape and added in all the veins and arteries. this step took me the longest since i spent a lot of time sculpting, and wanted it to look very anatomically accurate. once it was completely dry i painted it with acrylic paint (i use golden brand), and then covered it in a thick layer of glassy mod podge! the wrapping is just some clear plastic i had lying around and some fake blood the day we took the photos

2. reagent

literally just water and glow in the dark powder from amazon, had to keep shaking it up lol. there’s probably a better way to make it out there, maybe a little corn syrup with water or something like that would be a better medium?

3. favorite item in my reanimator collection

smthn old …. i don’t really like it anymore tbh but im still proud of it :3
