Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde - Blog Posts

So I was listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical the other day and during Transformation I realized that some of the effects of HJ-7 sound oddly familiar to those of contrast.

For those who don’t know, contrast dye is used in MRI’s, CT scans, and other procedures to make certain parts of your body be more visible on the scan.

As for it’s side effects, there’s the normal ones and the dangerous ones, like there is in most medicine.

One of the normal side effects of contrast is a feeling of warmth through your body. (This would be the ‘warm in the gullet’ line).

Some of the negative side effects can include nausea, cramping, itching, and difficulty to breath. (Light headedness, breath taking pain)

I’m not going anywhere with this I just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

Pls bully me into posting more

Jekyll: I love dogs who are obsessed with licking people. "This human is pleasing to me, I have to put my tongue on it".

Hyde: Dogs treat us like we treat cool rocks.

Jekyll: Your relationship to rocks is apparently very different than mine.

Jekyll: I’m fine.

Lanyon: breaking every mirror in the house as if you’re scared of your own reflection is not fine.

Jekyll: shut.

Hyde would hiss at enemies like a cat if he was given the chance.

Jekyll: Selfcare is drinking highly toxic chemicals right out of the anti-contamination beaker whilst letting the darkness that dwells within the depths of your soul overtake you.

Lanyon: No.

Jekyll: Slurp.

Just finished "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". Right after that suddenly realised, that during all the time while I was reading, my brain unexpectedly decided to come up with appearance for main characters.

I proudly present to your attention — Dr Jekyll looking like Avraam Lincoln and Mr Hyde like Joxter from Moomins.

I have just one question to my brain: WHY

I’ve been reading a lot of 19th century literature ever since Nosferatu(2024) came out and I’ve gotten to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

But as I’m reading this, I don’t think Edward Hyde existed at all

From how Dr. Jekyll writes this account he seems to be fully in control and observant as opposed to a passenger in his own body

The only different is this drug he is taking is freeing him from religious inhibition. (the Calvinistic belief that you must deprive yourself of pleasure because it’s sinful.) but because the drug makes him look younger, he’s using it as an excuse to personify the “sinful” urges he has and rid his conscious of blame

Tumblr is now going to be my outlet for talking about books

(Sketch of Edward Hyde as I try to figure out how to draw his body hair)

I like how the pose turned out on this one, I think most of his face being hidden and his character being shown more in body language works well for Hyde

I feel like I don't draw Edward Hyde looking Spooky often enough.

This was actually a test sketch for those stylized shadows, but I like it so you all get to see it too!

Mr Edward Hyde in modern clothing. Apparently my idea of modern is 1992.

Some more artwork of Henry Jekyll, wearing a corset based on this advertisement for men's corsets circa 1880 as I quite like the more natural shape of it:

Little drawing of what I imagine Dr Henry Jekyll would wear when out and about on the streets of London.

Featuring very important plot relevant cane that was canonically a gift from Utterson.

Edward no! Put that conical flask down right now or so help me!

Another sketch of Dr. Henry Jekyll.

Every time I draw my design for him he seems to become more of a "tall, fine build of a man" and I think Robert Louis Stevenson would be proud XD

Let's see how many people I can get to join me in the "Henry Jekyll is a strawberry blonde" club.

Edward Hyde, Victorian gremlin man, I love you so. ♥ This ended up looking a bit like concept art for an animated movie art style wise, and that just makes me sad there isn't a cutesy animated classic disney musical type Jekyll and Hyde movie because that would be amazing.

Another sketch of Henry Jekyll, M.D., D.C.L., L.L.D., F.R.S., etc.

The combination of his bewildered expression and me listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical in the background while drawing this made it so that about 40% of the time it looked like he was just really unsure if he was being flirted at XD

Little sketch of Edward Hyde looking sassy.

Sketching my own design for Edward Hyde again! Tried this time to draw his "I'm totally innocent" face XD

Just a little sketch of Henry Jekyll.

A Smol Edward Hyde.

Dr. Henry Jekyll "a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness"

Mr. Edward Hyde from the gothic novella "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I have no idea why This is how I imagined him looking XD

*pats Edward's curly hair*

me when im trying to do something important but the voices have other plans
