Nosferatu was great! Robert Eggers 3 and 0, I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of his films. This one in particular had great Bloodborne vibes; the carriage scene was like the drive to Cainhurst Castle 👌. I kept waiting for Willem Dafoe to tell his student to fear the old blood.

Loved the supporting actors as well, from the deranged thrall cackling and scuttling about to the bizarrely jovial dude hamming it up at the Carpathian inn.

Also whoever did the makeup and styling for Orlock did a GREAT job, he looks gnarly and horrible 😁!

Did you know turkeys are related to pheasants?? Now that I’ve done a few studies, I can totally see it. It’s just that their ability to fluff up makes them look totally different. It’s crazy how drastically they can change their silhouette!

Some of them get too used to people and go around attacking delivery workers, kids, hikers, and probably whoever else they want, to be honest.

Molluscs and arthropods. I was thinking about the head crab from The Thing while doing the last little guy 😊.

Hoofed animal studies from a sketch jam. Ungulates, equids, hoofed animals of various kinds! I find deer and other such animals really graceful and lovely and it was a pleasure to try and figure out some of their leggies.
