BETTY BLADE, THE SLASHER TOON (#15)

She’s Not Bad, She’s Just Drawn That Way.

Betty and Carly Duet

A loosely meta-song by Betty as she proclaims loudly to the world as the latest to the slasher scene; 🎵 she ain’t like Freddy or Michael, Norman or Jason, shes a girl who does her own Hell raisin’ 🎵) instigated by Carly as a ploy to buy time for herself and it’s a whole dance routine. The peppy beat contrasting the subject matter and grungy city as the musical number goes on. Leads to tap dancing at a bare-bone building still in constriction. By the final high note from Betty, that allows Carly to sneak away to push a button that has a bunch of support beams right above to fall atop Betty to which, Carly makes her getaway. Betty, dazed, seeing stars, and having a massive lump on her head utters "everyone's a critic". Not before one more crashes down atop her.

The general beat that ran in my head for this classical themed number was this:

..odd choice, yes, but the beat was stuck in my head and inspired the visuals.

🎶 Don't need no burns, don't need no machete, don't need no Hallo-Ween, the name is Betty and I'm the latest on the scene 🎶

- Lyrics by @Maniax80 on DA

Carly is pretty in sync of the energy and adds to the song too. 🎵

I'd leave breadcrumbs through the series to imply that, had fate been different, Betty and Carly would be rather great friends, sisterly even. A twinge of extra tragedy to the circumstance. Even they see a bit of that, but fate is as it is.

New lore:

Carly's ethnicity I'm thinking of being half-Japanese. Her uncle, Aaron aka Betty’s creator, is classic white. His apparance homages Chuck Jones with the creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi, for the neice (and contrast of art styles of the different generations and backgrounds; this story is set around in the 80s as thats the height of the slasher genre).

Wonka/Giant Monster AU

Old Art - Mar 2021

Basically a CaTcF/RAMPAGE AU : P

In this AU five (un)lucky taste testers (Charlie, Veruca, Mike, Augustus and Violet) become giant monsters after some eating faulty candy from Wonka’s rivals in their attempt to recreate his recipes. The idea originates from the opening cutscene from the Wii game, “Rampage: Total Destruction” (I had it when I was younger):

..and I thought it’d be fitting for something that’d possibly happen in CaTcF because of transformative nature of certain Wonka candies. Plus it combines my love of rampaging giant monsters and my interest of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

... 

Augustus Gloop - I was thinking of a gluttonous ogre/troll-like beast to fit his European background. One that comes to mind is the green Gargantua, Giara from ‘War of the Gargantuas’. In it, Giara eats people and is the meaner of the two (who are brothers and the offspring of the deceased Frankenstein monster from a previous Toho film, ‘Frankenstein Conquers The World’). He destroys buildings as much as he eats them too. Anything he can grab is fair game to eat. Not the brightest, but definitely the hardest to make fall.

Charlie Bucket - Godzilla/King Kong/Mighty Joe Young as they all have the most prominently tragic and sympathetic angle of the giant monsters in media. Though I’d lean more towards Joe Young on this one as he’s the more friendly of the two giant apes. I suppose Wonka takes the role of the captive “beauty” here : p As Charlie is rather a fanboy of the candy man and his work I think he’d retain that dedication/fascination in monster form. Also added some Godzilla in there to add some uniqueness and not be just a big monkey and homage the times the king of monsters has been in a heroic/anti-hero light.

Violet Beauregarde - For her, I was thinking of something that'd be weird and wacky like that of an Ultraman or any Power Rangers monster. One that has at least more than one form of other and has to do w/ chewing gum/blueberry related. Bounces and rolls through town like a bowling ball through a stack of pins. Can shoot powerful gusts of blueberry juice and bubbles.

Mike TeaVee - A robotic/mecha-monster or cyborg-like beast in tribute to kaiju such as MechaGodzilla, MechaniKong and Gigan. Having his phone in hand during his mutation it left him as the partially robotic monster you see there. Enjoys the rampaging through the now as a powerful giant. His mean streak borders sadistic. Hangs around electrical power stations for the energy boost it gives him.

Veruca Salt - Originally thought up as a Wevern/Harpy sort of beast as they hoard treasures in excess and incredibly hostile. I also wished to add a winged beast in the mix. Maybe something w/ more than one head like King Ghidorah or one that glides, like Varan. But that wasn't the case as I switched it to a creature w/ more of an aquatic nature. That being a giant squid/octopus. Enough arms to reach out and take anything and everything. The most prone to violent outbursts of the 5 kids-turned-giant monsters.

I may or may not return to this one and make revisions.

Wild DreamZ (#1)

https://youtu.be/OH57rtnKCEM?si=pbJnDRlhbC_rCDjD

This ☝️along with re-thinking of Sharkboy & Lavagirl, my take of Freddy Krueger; 'Nightmare' here and here, along with this old story: https://www.tumblr.com/artmakerproductions/670608756065861632/old-art-nov-2018-lost-in-the-forest-story?source=share that was more a variant of other two projects of mine, “The Drifter”: https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/gallery?q=The+Drifter and later, “Journey Through The Forest” has me thinking of a dreamscape show premise. Current title, "Wild DreamZ". You know the premise of many shows where a kid visiting a 'other world' on the regular for fun adventures with colourful characters and lesson learning? Well what would happen if the kid had, for whatever reason, died while away in the real world and left the inhabitants wondering what happened. Then, the grieving parent finds said frequently visited world and the inhabitants asked if she could visit them on the regular in their kid's place. As they believe that since she raised the former visitor, the apple mustn't fall far from the tree, right? So it becomes a journey of healing and what-not.

Re-used elements from:

- The Drifter: A bigger than average hummingbird tag-along character. Very tidy and orderly-like, frantic even. Sort of mix of Zazu and Pearl in personality.

- Gameplay The Movie: The game's villian, Gwaarg, is there in the Otherealm cause of correlation being the son's favorite game series. Makes regular appearance as a foe.

- Freddy from Nightmare: Mr Boogie Man is the Boogeyman and one of the stronger residents in the world. Lost some power as The Mother (no name yet) is an adult; but even adults have fears..

- The House from The Drifter: Influence from my own dreams that in turn are Influenced from Monster House, specifically the gba game. Are a far more nightmarish version of an old house in the neighborhood. Within is an absolute maze that houses more nightmareish things.

- Nightmare Ooze: Another re-use of the slimy creatures from The Drifter. These horrid creatures lurk in the dark corners of The Junkyard. Representing the "sugar before bed leads to nightmares". A gamble if you stay too long at the Junkyard. Course the Nightmare Ooze are not limited to that region and can be found throughout Otherealm.

- Eddie: https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/Ellie-Eddie-colourized-809919785

- Rock Em Rabbit: https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/Random-Sketches-35-743213029 https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/Random-Sketches-28-734066509 - Susan Tucan: https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/Random-Sketches-44-744377166

As you can see, plenty of re-used assets from old drawings and different concepts repurposed for here.

Sinji is the protagonist from the same game Gwaarg is from. A happy-go lucky, rambunctious and heroic character. Bit of a goofball too. Kai (while the design was for Gameplay The Movie, the character is unrelated to to it here) the opposite. Being from a fantasy anime [The Son] was just getting into. He’s a bit of a stoic, but easily furious inducing, skilled warrior prince. The two are sort of the Sharkboy and Lavagirl of this. Walking through the workings of Otherealm for The Mother aka Mel.

Lucky The Dinosaur 🦕

(Posted on DA in Feb. 25, 2023)

From Dinoland USA, we have the (retired) walk-around character, Lucky.

He is a therizinosaurid; Segnosaurus to be specific. So, I remodelled the dino to better resemble his species (based on our current understandings). I'm surprised Disney (or even any other big corporation) hasn't jumped on the idea I presented above. Think of how marketable a fluffy/cute dinosaur is! Very unique in appearance and new! Etc.

What the original character looked like:

Jurassic Park 1854

Was thinking about their awesome art again

..and thought for the replacement of the velociraptors since they weren't discovered that it can be the pterosaurs also exhibited in Crystal Palace. Inclusion being in a manner identical to my Jurassic Park Dragon Curve AU:

..and extent, like w/ the Mutadons from Jurassic World Rebirth.

The statues (and 1 illustration) from there, and the art of the Quetzalcoatlus (Quetzals) I made for my AU to give you some idea for what I'm getting at with my proposal.

Billy & Sarah: Invasion of the Movie Monsters

This, and a few other upcoming stories, are in completely separate continuities to the main BaS one. Anthologies, if you will. No supernatural or otherwise before the point of the story. Only the location and characters remain the same. There was a title change too as you can see. The title card with

For this story, the monster army consists of ones from public domain films. Also, these are the revamped designs of the previous takes of these public domain monsters:

...

For the opening of “BaS in: Invasion of the Movie Monsters”, it’d start off in the early morning, everything is still dark. From the abandoned movie theatre overlooking the town, the mad man who named himself “Dr Caligari” along with the Cesare from the movie by his side making the finishing touches to his “director’s cut” of the monster footage. Proclaiming how no one even knows of his doings nor be stopped. As the sliver of morning sun rises, we head into the little neighbourhood and see an early morning riser, Billy. His room looking like the 50’s (and earlier/a bit later; old in general) threw up in it. As he preps for the day, on a record player he starts the opening number for the credits montage: “Lollipop”. We skim through town and glimpsing major and minor players of the story as Billy bikes on his oldie of a bike to work at the antique repair, trade, buy and selling store. In the town of Oak River, things are as simple as a simple small town can get. On the outskirts, an old movie theatre lay abandoned. On this particular night, Billy and Sarah decide to go back there as it’s been a while since they’ve gone. Sarah had tinkered with the old film projector shortly after the building’s abandonment and the two helped themselves to the leftover old films. Surprisingly the place still had power. They chalked it up to an oversight blunder. Didn’t matter to them, free power and free entry. While up in the booth, they found all the film stock unwound from their designated spools and scattered. All cut up and pretty much unwatchable. Only one that seemed usable, a pair of spools with one blue, and the other red. Hooked it up, and hit play and found it was in old school 3D. Luckily, the place’s old stash of 3D glasses were still intact. Billy and Sarah headed down to the seating area. As they watched, the two found it to be a compilation film consisting of scenes featuring various movie monsters. “Whatever”, they thought. Right from the screen the monsters emerge to reality. Was nearly too late for Billy and Sarah when they realized this. Almost caught by the movie monsters. Fleeing from the theatre room to the fire exit, but before they leave, Sarah realizes the film is still running in the projection booth. Doubling back as the two are about to grab the reel, the mad man, “Dr Caligari” confronts them and the projector is busted from the scuffle. Sarah grabs the red and blue reel, both quickly flee and again are nearly caught by the monsters. Running back to town, with Dr Caligari commanding his army to follow and apprehend the two.

Back in town, they do the old song and dance of telling the authorities of the monster mayhem they made. The sheriff and his deputy, after sending the two kids home, begrudgingly head up to check the theatre out as the description of "Dr Caligari" matches that of a long wanted escaped asylum inmate. Theres seemingly nothing wrong. No monsters.

Unfortunately, the whole incident was recorded by the local school jerks (they were there because of underaged drinking) and now Billy and Sarah are the laughing stock. Meanwhile, Billy and Sarah try and figure out what to do. Then, a idea is hatched. to turn the film from positive to negative and run it on the projector again. With some persuasion to Billy's boss at the antique shop for it to be quickly done. An issue Billy asks about is how they’d fix the projector too if that’s where Caligari is? Sarah says she’s counting on the mad man to fix it themselves if he wants more monsters. Next couple of days, there are increasing reports of missing persons, freak accidents, and sightings of “strange creatures” all over town. The Giant Gila Monster, Brontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus guard the main road out of town while all the monsters have encircled the town and moving inwards. In a moment reminiscent of Tremors with Val showing the path of the Graboids, Billy and Sarah show their friends the movie monsters’ plan of attack of their gradually sweeping inward on their search for him and Sarah. So they gotta get the now negative copy of the film stock to the film projector back at the movie theatre all the while not get caught by the monsters. After much evasion and taking out a few of the monster army, they make it to the theatre where the remaining monsters stand guard. Audrey Jr seemingly being their trump card. However, an early winter's arrival spells the turn of tides for the heroes and win. One by one, the monsters are sucked back into the film and Caligari is apprehended.

An idea for the “final twist” of BaS Invasion of the Monsters. After the celebration of the monsters and Caligari being defeated, Billy and Sarah note that at least they don’t have to worry about any real monsters in the world. Then, one of the supporting characters (little subtle hints throughout beforehand) teasingly flashes a grin to them; revealing their fangs, “Oh I wouldn’t say that. Nor are we’re not all bad." and the two kids are sent running for the hills as the vampire just laughs hysterically having gotten a kick out of the interaction. With that, ‘The End’ title card rolls. As a nod to the ending of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. I also had this movie’s ending referenced here too in the final page of Billy & Sarah Meet The Wolfman: https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/BaS-meet-The-Wolfman-13-13-880636580

“Billy & Sarah” belongs to me, ArtMakerProductions.

And that’s it. Lemme know what ya think.

Cause I got no restraint as an artist.

Never again will a kids film have a prominent character that's an ex-mafia member on the run after a botched hit (and makes many references to Goodfellas and Godfather):
