rat king

He stands facing left, holding aloft a very dead rat, with a blocky flashlight in his other hand. He's clad in boots, undies, black fingerless gloves, and some straps from his coverall (ooo yeah). The background is deep reds and shadows.

Back on my bullshit 🐀

Another practice piece with a Brad Dourif character (Graveyard Shift exterminator Tucker Cleveland) by way of classical art (Perseus with the Head of Medusa, yeah I know, but it's still kind of a hot statue).

I love his look so much in this movie, and especially this saucy little pirouette he does in Warwick's office.

The leaning pose brings out an androgyny in the character that I find maddeningly attractive. The hair, the loose collar, the play of light on the dangly earring — all highlight the slender lines of his neck, and the pretty divot at the bottom, picked out by the backlighting. The character's chewing tobacco habit shapes his mouth in a distinctive way that, with those downcast eyelashes, make me wish I were Warwick sitting on that desk. (At least, until the spitting...)

Sweet Jesus, get the spray bottle.

Previously in this series: X-Files x Saint Sebastian and Spontaneous Combustion x Hot Satan! I've made some updates, so maybe they'll all return together soon.
