So here me out, if Victor's description of the creature as beautiful when he was making him is true, and Walton’s description of the creature as a hideous monster upon seeing him at the end of the novel is true, perhaps the creature’s appearance changes as a reflection of how he’s treated.
I believe that the creature appears hauntingly beautiful (as beautiful an 8ft man made from the body parts of dead people could be) when he’s brought into the world, but as he faces constant rejection from mankind and is treated as a monster, his looks begin to reflect his perception of himself. And as his innocence is corrupted and he chooses to act like the monster society sees him as, the creature’s appearance gradually degrades. By the end of Frankenstein, he’s killed four people in his quest for acceptance and has trekked through the arctic, so he looks just like the wretched daemon that Victor always said he was.
…this all to ask, if he was treated with kindness and love would he slowly start to look more human?
This is such a cool idea! Now I'm imagining a pop up book based on Victor's research notes with anatomical drawings and scribbled ravings in the margins!
Guys heres my attempt at a pop up book

Listen I completely understand why people skip the filler in One Piece because it’s already so long, but then you miss gems like Zoro getting forcibly adopted and bullied by a gaggle of orphans for an entire episode
I changed it a little, don't know if it's for better or worse but it is what it is
I'd like to apologize to my mutuals in advance for the person I will become once the One Piece Live Action season 2 teaser drops. Unfortunately I know myself enough to predict that I'll be absolutely insufferable 😔.
I started this painting of the Yule Cat a while ago and never finished it. If you don't know about the Yule Cat, I highly recommend you Google it. It's a giant cat that eats children who don't do their chores and he's one of my favorite Christmas adjacent folk characters!
I wanted to show the sheer scale of the creature compared to the average height of people in the Victorian era, so I drew my take on Victor! And, yes, I did use Timothée Chalamet as a reference because no matter what Guillermo del Toro would have me believe, Victor Frankenstein is a skinny, dehydrated college rat in my mind (this was intended as a complement to Timothée I truly think he would crush this role).
POV you drew this in 2022 after discovering Panic! at the Disco because you couldn't stop thinking about that part in the Emperor's New Clothes music video where his spine cracked so hard it altered your brain chemistry:
Progress photos of my Nøkken painting back in May.
And here's the finished product. (Although I might always add touch ups because my work is never finished).
Been working on a comic concept for my creature artwork. Here’s just a small interaction between Adam and Evelyn. Hope you like it!
AHHHH!!! This is so good!!!
