A.K.A. Jackie Earl Haley's Metamorphesis

:iconpygmyink:'s request:
You should try and draw him(Freddy Kruger) again (if you haven't done it) but I'd like to see it

This was actually doodled as a upcoming sketch before she requested it, but since it's a request, that comes first before my own pleasure. To go further more about the request, this was a request to anyone who saw her poll. She really wanted people to show their drawings of Freddy Kruger to her.

The very reason I wanted to draw this last year was the fact of reading about Jackie Earl Haley(one of my favorite actors) taking the Freddy Kruger mantle from Robert Englund(another favorite of mine). This made me curious since I really loved his version of Rorschach. His cameo in Shutter Island was pretty well done too. Unfortunately, after watching how Micheal Bay's Platinum Dunes company wasted Haley's performance with bad writing, I was still going to finish this image.

During the coloring of the glove, the system crashed out on me, so this made me work on this for another week. Then finishing it yesterday with the songs of Beck to quicken me along the way since I just started listening to his Guero album(good stuff people, Rental Cars my favorite track).

Since I didn't want to take time into doing a computer made background, I combined some gradients of orange, red, and black with the new Nightmare on Elm Street poster for the factory background. I really wanted to do the background, but with my paint program, I'd rather do backgrounds by hand now, making it simpler for me to know which direction I take with the subjects(Which is why it's taking me so long with :iconvandono:'s first piece).

Freddy kruger is the baddest. Love this, great work with the coloring. Its particularly arresting because you caught freddy's signature posture when he is contemplating evil.
