Creator's Notes

I’ve never really drawn supernatural or monster things (IDK why), so this was a fun to work on to broaden my own horizons. The prompt in the sign-up was “That is not dead which can eternal lie … but is it sexy?” and I took that literally — how can I draw something that undead AND sexy?!

I went with a Frankenstein-inspired scene, but instead of the scientist working on the monster, the monster is working on the scientist. If there was dialogue/story, there would probably be low whispers of “you’re always touching me, why can’t I do the same?” or “isn’t this why you created me?” (etc.). I’m convinced that those cord/wires will be used for various indecent purposes later on.

The strangest (?) part of production was that I had to take a photo of my own foot (propped up against a garbage bin, haha) and pasted it around ‘there’ (in the illustration) for reference. Evidence was promptly deleted after it served its purpose.
