I draw this fellow a lot, and I'm not sure why. I'm likely drawn to the amount of detail in the design of the creature, I think it's perfection. There's a stereotype with old 50's monster movies that all the costumes look really shoddy, but that was not the case with the creature from the black lagoon. I'm pretty proud of this piece, I put a lot of work into it (including taking embarrassing photos of myself in that pose for reference) I couldn't tell you what kind of pose that is, maybe he just wasn't expecting company.
It needs to be redone in ink, and as soon as I get ahold of my old lightbox I'll get to work on that and post pics.
