Mystery Of The Wax Museum (1933) - Dir. Michael Curtiz

gouache sketch of the 1943 phantom :0 I loooove his mask, it has a lot of character, and I think masks with a personality of their own help to sell the idea that the person wearing it is not only disguising themselves, but creating a whole new self on top of that. Claude rains phantom you may not be the most accurate but I love you regardless <333

I almost never do surrealish pieces but I had a vision to fufill lol. based on a meltdown I had a month ago

HHHJFHNNG OHHH MY GOD I FINALLY BEAT GRIM MATCHSTICK!!! I CAN'T FEEL MY HANDS

This was my design for the Riddler, please ignore the fact that he has no hands 😭 I thought I would get around to drawing them but I didn't. Pretend he's smoking or holding a loaf of bread or something.

ANYWAYS I didn't have an idea on what I wanted to do for him until I came across a documentary on the Enigma code in WW2 and was like "huh I forgot about that" - all I have on my 1940s-ish version of him so far is that he was born poor but accumulated wealth, and adopted the guise of a bored rich socialite to cope with the fact he grew up dirt poor. Germany was left pretty much starved of resources after the treaty that ended WW1 so that's probably why. The Enigma code was developed in Germany shortly after WW1 but in my universe I like to think he invented it because haha. Inventing a nearly unbreakable code and then naming it after yourself sounds like something Riddler would do lol

I think he'd wear a lot of military inspired clothing, he seems like he'd be really into bomber jackets. I gave him a tiny mustache because I think it's funny that all the bad guy gangster thugs in old movies have one
