The Nightingale

(All pages)

The final page is here!!

I’ve decided to make one post with all the pages for easier reading.

This was based on the National theatre Frankenstein play, I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it already. I really enjoyed bringing it to life in my own way, so to speak, with my own character designs. It was a big challenge and I’ve learned a lot!

Patrons saw all of this comic weeks ago, so if you’ve liked it and want to see all of my work and exclusive stuff early, consider joining us over there! Or check out my print shop, I have a ton of Frankenstein art there too. Any support of my work means a lot 💜

Thanks so much for reading! And thanks everyone who has left a nice comment or interacted with this comic, it keeps my work going! :’)

Wanted to post this comm from @rosie-the-orca-shipper separately because why not

Painted another buddy's Creature on my face! I've been in love with @dross-the-fish ‘s Adam for YEEEEEARS, and he's currently writing a fantastic story about what the Creature got up to in 1918 when he returned to the Frankenstein manor (hence the snazzy haircut). (He also meets and befriends other famous characters from Gothic lit in the process, and it's just excellent fun all around.)

I think Dross NAILED the, "I had selected his features to be beautiful but oh, no, oh, god, it's so upsetting now that they're moving and alive" thing Victor talks about in the book. For me, that's key to any good Creature design--something about him has to be compelling and beautiful AND incredibly creepy and uncanny valley.

I especially LOVE his snarled lip, which, in the story Dross is writing, is part of a bigger bit of nerve damage or SOMEthing Victor didn't get right, because it results in that half of his face being partially paralyzed. So you get all of Dross' gorgeous artwork featuring Adam with the most emotive eyes on the planet, since part of his face is kind of immobile.

I had really hoped Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein would lean a little farther from the source material and a little closer to the Shape of Water. I want to see a creature get smooched and more 😂

Forgot to post this here but this was when I was in a very creatureverse time of my life in February (?)

Creatures featured (from left to right) @muirin007 ‘s, mine, @rosietealeaves , @dross-the-fish ‘s, and @gauntlettoart ‘s. It goes without saying that the Big Blue Baby belongs to Guillermo del Toro, but alas, I do not know his tumblr dark web account (which I feel in my bones he must have). Had to draw Rosie’s creature in more detail w/ bonus Christine as well.
