The new #PencilArt of #Kharis. This is the #LonChaney version, not Tom Tyler's Kharis in The Mummy's Hand. Always liked this shot in the film.
There's going to be a 3D aspect to the original.

#UniversalMonsters has such a rich cast of characters, I could spend years drawing one #film series.
The lapse dissolve transformation took #JackPierce around 21 hours to create.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Jack Pierce, born today in 1889. Pierce was a Hollywood make-up artist best remembered for creating the iconic makeup worn by Boris Karloff in Frankenstein, along with various other classic monster make-ups for Universal Studios. #JackPierce
Black-and-white photo of Universal Studios’ makeup artist Jack Pierce applying makeup to the face of actor Boris Karloff during production of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺, 1932 Pierce, smiling confidently, is dressed in a white, collared shirt and wool newsboy cap, gently pinching Karloff’s cheek under the left eye as he carefully uses a tool to detail the makeup. Karloff is staring ahead patiently in what is clearly going to be a long and arduous process.
Black-and-white photo of Universal Studios’ makeup artist Jack Pierce applying finishing touches to the ashen, encrusted face of actor Boris Karloff during production of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺, 1932 Pierce, concentrating intently, is dressed in a white, mock turtleneck smock, holding a pen-like tool in his right hand as he details the makeup along Karloff’s craggy jawline. Karloff, in full, bandaged costume for his lead role as the mummified Imhotep, is gazing ahead stoically in what clearly has been a long and arduous process.

Interesting reading on Pierce’s career and legacy (including some great photos) from 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳’s Frank Taylor (1985):

Boris Karloff #Imhotep #HandDrawn in #Pencil over 14 days
"He went for a little walk."
By drawing #BorisKarloff as #TheMummy you really get to know how incredible #JackPierce was.
This took him 8 hours a day to apply for 12 seconds on film.
#Art #artistSupport #UniversalMonsters #UniversalHorror
Boris Karloff was drawn over 13 days in pencil by hand.
There was a progression of make up with #JackPierce on #Frankenstein, judging by the scars, this is from #BrideofFrankenstein The costume weighed 48lb the make up took 4 hours

I still find it interesting that when most people think of the #Frankenstein monster they think of #BorisKarloff in the #JackPierce makeup. But if they imitate the monster, they imitate the zombie walk that #GlennStrange used in the role. #Svengoolie
