Thanks! I had so much fun doing that, because it looks like she tripped over those stones on the way down. I was really happy with the way everything went on this one.

Valley of the Gwangi is an underrated film. I'm surprised that nobody has considered a remake although I'm afraid Hollywood would botch it.

Even though Hollywood has been raping us of our childhood lately, I doubt that they could match the wonder that was Gwangi.

A great display of proportion. Those cowpokes had better tie giantess Lois up really good because, as you've said in your narrative, when she wakes up from her tranquilizer-induced slumber, she's going to be really pissed. Well done, good buddy.

Thanks! I love doing series, and this series has been especially fun. I would love to have that Gwangi DVD if I can find it sometime - I haven't seen it since Johnny and I were kids.

Well, hopefully you'll find that DVD. "Valley of Gwangi" was another of Harrihausen's masterworks.

I've done fairly well in Half Price Books - I have the "Seven Voyages of Sinbad" and a couple of other Sinbad movies. I also have his Gulliver movie. Gwangi would make a nice addition to my collection.

The only Harryhausen films that I won't have in my collection are the Sinbad series, because Sinbad is an Islamic character and Islam nowadays leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I hope you'll understand.

I really like the perspective you used. That's actually pretty tricky.

Thanks! You should have seen how sloppy the developmental was, but it was a start. I thought it was pretty good for not having a model - I almost broke out the action figures, but didn't. I did look at a freeze frame for the face, but it wasn't in that position. I then pulled out the standard older pics to get the patchwork stuff right.
I still like that cage sketch - there's always room for one more to join me in my madness...

Those "sloppy development" sketches are actually pretty cool. They show that there was alot of thought included.

Oh, those were the final developmental sketches, the actual project. My first sketch was just of her sitting there on the ground. BTW, those tranquilizer darts were a very last-minute thing, and I'm glad I added them. ::chuckles:: Kind of made me think of Wild Kingdom - Marlin Perkins enjoys a martini back at the tent while Ed chases down the giant Lois and has to put a tag on her ear.
