Blast from the Past #224: Finhead guy fights tentacled monster

This is another piece from back in my college days -- my last year of college, in fact, which was 1976. I'm not sure what inspired this drawing, although I have a vague memory of doing several different drawings featuring this guy with the fin on his head -- it's possible that I intended to do a story with him as a protagonist, but I don't think it ever happened.



I think I was trying to play with ink washes in this piece (not terribly successfully, in my opinion). -- PL

    it kinda reminds me of something that would have been in the "clash of the titans" movie. Def looks like a a clay animation scene. I like it and I think it looks great!

    hey Peter, I was reading the corrected Future Tense page on the site. Do you have any guesstimate as to how long mutant turtles might live?

    I figure at best they'd live 200 years, but even then it's a long long time. Could be some interesting story opportunities...
