Mr Hyde



Hello again Oblio,

Actually I've just thought of one. I don't think it's been done yet...

How about:

_______________________________

Mr Hyde. Most of us know of the story 'The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson, and it has been played around with in many ways in the cinema. Mr Hyde actually being female at least once in 'Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde'! And reinterpreted in movies like 'Van Helsing' and the awful but visually impressive 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. So taking that as a starting point, redesign Mr(!) Hyde, and if you want, include Dr Jekyll too (but that's not essential). I'm not going to give a description of the character this time, as a little bit of research should be required by anyone setting out to follow a brief. But it must be specific to the period the book was written, that is the only requirement. This means you have a lot of free rein in appearance etc, but the character must be time specific. When? Find out...

Topic elements:

1 = Set in the period Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was written

___________________________________



Now concept!!

[Mr. Visions]

I actualy just saw the movie where Michael Caine plays the doctor and this evil side. Quite Hilarious at some parts, but Michael Caine still pulls it off. Needless to say, i'm on for this one, for sure.

(and I've read the book, suckas)

- V

[Clocks]

Well this sounds like it will lead to some awesome images... im going to take a stab at it. (hopefully ill finish this time too.)
Unfortunately my piece was just not ready for CHOW so I'll try again next week. Good luck everyone!

[Matthew Campbell]

Great topic, I'll definitely do something for this round. Another good topic from Poshspice.

It's interesting to note that what was considered shocking back then is a lot milder today; from what I remember, Mr Hyde only actually killed one person, and aside from that, he just drank, slept around, and caused a bit of mischief.

[Tenno]

I'm in.

edit: Ran out of time due to another project -maybe next week.

Adding to that information, it should be noted that he's described as small and gollumish rather than hulkish in the book, mind you. Have fun, guys 'n' gals!

[PianoForte]

well i'll give it a go, sounds like it could be a good'un.

[Vahn]

hehe sounds like fun! i will try to find some time for this :)

heres a first quick sketch:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b120/Vahnin/mh1.jpg

[madhatter106]

Mr. Enfield: He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something down-right detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn't specify the point. He's an extraordinary looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No, sir; I can make no hand of it; I can't describe him. And it's not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.

Dr. Lanyon: Here, at last, I had a chance of clearly seeing him. I had never set eyes on him before, so much was certain. He was small, as I have said; I was struck besides with the shocking expression of his face, with his remarkable combination of great muscular activity and great apparent debility of constitution, and--last but not least--with the odd, subjective disturbance caused by his neighbourhood. This bore some resemblance to incipient rigour, and was accompanied by a marked sinking of the pulse. At the time, I set it down to some idiosyncratic, personal distaste, and merely wondered at the acuteness of the symptoms; but I have since had reason to believe the cause to lie much deeper in the nature of man, and to turn on some nobler hinge than the principle of hatred.
This person (who had thus, from the first moment of his entrance, struck in me what I can only, describe as a disgustful curiosity) was dressed in a fashion that would have made an ordinary person laughable; his clothes, that is to say, although they were of rich and sober fabric, were enormously too large for him in every measurement--the trousers hanging on his legs and rolled up to keep them from the ground, the waist of the coat below his haunches, and the collar sprawling wide upon his shoulders. Strange to relate, this ludicrous accoutrement was far from moving me to laughter. Rather, as there was something abnormal and misbegotten in the very essence of the creature that now faced me--something seizing, surprising and revolting -- this fresh disparity seemed but to fit in with and to reinforce it; so that to my interest in the man's nature and character, there was added a curiosity as to his origin, his life, his fortune and status in the world.


Dr. Jekyll: Now the hand of Henry Jekyll (as you have often remarked) was professional in shape and size: it was large, firm, white and comely. But the hand which I now saw, clearly enough, in the yellow light of a mid-London morning, lying half shut on the bedclothes, was lean, corder, knuckly, of a dusky pallor and thickly shaded with a swart growth of hair. It was the hand of Edward Hyde.

-----------------

Notes on Spirit Photograph #68 - found in the archives of a London lawyer by the name of Mr. Gabriel John Utterson and bequeathed to the Museum of Spirituality by his grandson. According to the family, no other spirit photographs exist in the late Mr. Utterson's collection, so it was a mystery to them as to why this one was found in his personal papers after his death. (One can only deduce that the subject in question was known to him.) No other information has been gleaned from the photograph, and its subject cannot be positively identified. Researchers here at the Museum, as well as noted experts with the Institute for Spirituality in England, have determined that the person in question bears a passing resemblance to a Dr. Henry Jeykll, a friend and associate of Mr. Utterson's, but no record of him having posed for a spirit photographer exists in any extant literature of the day. More than one researcher at the Institute has concluded that the photograph, like so many others, is a fraud, and can be passed off as a photographic trick by some enterprising charlatan...

[adonihs]

can it be a portrait or does it have to be a full body?

[Clocks]

"Minimum 3/4's of character must be visible. No busts or head shots."

The rules are at the top of the page in the first post:)

[adonihs]

lol im just kinda scanning through real quick, my eye is infected with a stye, so I have to look at the topc, then bare the pain so i can paint :[

but thanks! :D

[mrgrumble]

:O fantastic! havent done a character fer a little while, guess this is a good time to get off my keester :)

[CAmbrose]

Well, I've been quietly haunting this place enough. I think I'll finally give this a go.

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t118/degravity/chow68.jpg

[BabylonCargoCult]

"Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" first published in 1886.
So the 1880s are probably "the period Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was written" right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1880s_in_fashion

If anyone got better reference pictures ,please share.

[madhatter106]

If anyone got better reference pictures ,please share.

Roger Vaughan has a website with lots of great photos scanned in...but a googling of "1880's fashion" would probably do just as well; I did it earlier and came up with a bunch of stuff to sift through...

[Migsta]

Darn, couldn't get to it...

[Aly Fell]

Remember the only requirement is the period clothing, which means you have a great deal of freedom. Mr Hyde could be a new take on the theme; think outside the box! However you are completely free to follow the Stevenson description to the letter if you want. My current sketch isn't particularly original at the moment anyway! :)

[Woodlandwalker]

http://www.glensportfolio.com/woodlandwalker_chow68_hyde.jpg
CC always welcome... yes I know i went the Sepia route... :P

[Tommoy]

I'm curious for the other interpretations, i'll stick to Stevenson.

"Now, now Henry....

"It alright now. Really, it is. I forgive you everything, even trying to kill the both of us. You were afraid and under ever so much stress. I know this. I know everything you know. Your hopes, your fears...Your loves and hates- I know you closer than I would know a brother, If I had one.

"In a way one could say you are my brother. In a certain twisted logic I suppose, and I love the twisted kinds of logic the best. Take this bit for example: Your greatest fear was of losing control of me, that I'd get out and you wouldn't be able to put me back in. Well...it's happened now. This little girdle will make sure we always have a little potion in our body. So now I'll never have to go back in, and you don't have to worry about losing control anymore. You have none.

"But don't worry 'elder brother.' I'll take good care of you. Always keep you near my heart, as it were, hehe."

[Hanuka]

this topic sounds fun and promises quite a shitload of good quality pics.
haven't posted anything current in ages - and in fact haven't produced anything proper either. so, oh well, here goes my wip.
i gotta say it's good to be back. ca.org: on -> motivation: on.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/hanuka/mrhyde_wip.png

quite a lack of concept, huh? need to do some more reasearch on clothing and shit, it's my weakness. I could use a bit of c&c, if y'all don't mind. i'm finishing a portfolio for college and want this in.

[madhatter106]

I like the "young" Hyde approach, Hanuka...look forward to seeing where this is going.

Just be careful on the clothes - vests (and jackets, for that matter) button rather high at this time in fashion. Some great movies to look at for this period would be FROM HELL (set in 1888) and TOPSY TURVY (spanning 1884-5)...

The latter is particularly good, though I know a number of people who couldn't stand it. I guess Gilbert and Sullivan operettas aren't to everyone's liking...

[Clocks]

Wow thats a coincidence im trying to put mine into my college portfolio too! haha.

As for a critique, he does look a little bit purple to me, but that adds to the monstrous feel IMO. All other stuff is probably just because its a WIP. I think its coming along nicely though, keep it up!

[vigostar]

posh- what is that new avatar of yours? Looks insane!

[Hanuka]

thanks madhatter, good advice. ill be looking into that.


Wow thats a coincidence im trying to put mine into my college portfolio too! haha.

Muha! You aint seen nothing yet, he's just about to become EVEN MORE PURPLE!! Purpleness = Power! Aye, thx mate and good luck with yours :)

[masque]

i took a much more literal, literary and illustrative approach, Hyde as i imagine him from the story, less a demon than a distillation of human (Jekyll's) evil, self indulgent, sybaritic, arrogant but cruel, a pure sociopath/psychopath.

version 3 -- color, and final

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7099/masquehydergbchow68oa7.jpg

C&C welcome

[Clocks]

will probably be working this up in greyscale and then to color as well, so C&C before i go further would be welcomed.

I like the style you chose for this one, it portrays the mood of the piece very well. Is the man on the right the doctor?

Oh and by the way i laughed when i read the quote in your sig- that game was so amazing!

[masque]

Is the man on the right the doctor?yep, i thought he'd make a good contrast to Hyde's brutishness, tall, thin, rather elegant. the girl is Hyde's first victim (not killed, just trampled), from the first chapter of the novel, i wanted something to bridge the gap between the two "personalities."

yeah, Psychonauts rocks big time, and Black Velvetopia's my favorite level (being an artist, you see ;) )

[adonihs]

Ok phew. Heres mine! Just did a COW and this..so im exhausted! =O

Im new to this, so I don't know if you do a description..but I might as well!

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9462/cow74no7.jpg

As well know the story of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, we know how fowl of a creature the ladder is. Dr.Jekyll, consumed by his creation, can no longer go back to his regular form. Deprived of humanity and love, he is forever his own demise. His body, now plagued with defects of his potions and surgeries, he is now more of a creature than he was ever a human. His injections of chemicals he combined have grown growths to his body, his left hand is more of a sack of skin and bones, and his arm and waist have mixed together, skin melded and bones smashed. His forehead, where he has had others tried to perform surgery on him, has been infected as well. He now runs crazed, his only passion to kill.

"The last I think; for, O poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend."
- Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chapter 2

[Greenjack]

Damn it Fuuryoku, tempted to scrap my WIP of Hyde bursting from Jekylls chest....but gonna run out of time if I do. Hope to post something tonight.

[Wasker]

I imagine mr hyde to be one of those guys that always have a cane

[Jockemon]

Herro!

Cool topic so here is my entry :confident Mr. Hyde to me is like the hulk, super strong and big so thats woot I went for. Hmm maybe he looks to much like Mr. hyde in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen... ehh woota heck...

Great entrys so far! Looking forward to see how they all turn out :confident

[Greenjack]

Here's the final. Not quite how I envisaged it, seems to be lacking some energy.


http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o21/greenjackCA/GreenjackCHOW68800final.jpg

Love the imge adonihs although the left hands troubling me a bit. Struggling with the definition, looks almost webbed.

[adonihs]

Greenjack - haha ah, I thought i was clear in the little definition. It is webbed..well, moreso the skin molded over from side effects. His whole left arm is pretty much effed' up! But thanks man! :)

[adonihs]

I'm curious for the other interpretations, i'll stick to Stevenson.

Many nice entries. I'll take more time later to post comments.

[Greenjack]

adonihs - Doh!

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o21/greenjackCA/WIP/Doh.jpg

Boy, am I stupid!, looks like you made a great job of it then! :dur:

[nuru]

Hey all,
This is my first CHOW... please feel free to crit - could really use the feedback. Lovely entries so far - love the moody sinister atmosphere in yours spitch and masque - I thought yours was a finished piece - think its really working well in B/W.
mine's a...um watercolour effort - am almost completely computer illiterate.
I got my inspirations from a passage in the book '...in the agonised womb of consciouness these polar twins should be continuously struggling...'

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h231/littleboots_2006/hyde2.jpg

[Rogzilla]

Lots of awesome work (no I am not contributing...I want to but can't). I am a little disappointed no one took a very literal interp. of the descriptions in the book. One thing I am noticing is everyone seems to have made this massive character. Madhatter is the closest but I always pictured Hyde as being something like Gollum (but less so). Small, ruined, primal and paranoid with a heart of maleve...malevi...evil. (Shut up, I can't spell!)

I think of him as protohuman. Heavy brow, wide mouth, long arms, hunched back, almost as hairy of Robin Williams, ect.

Another idea that could be done is that it is all purely psychological. There is no actual physical transformation but Hyde is the result of repressed desires that manifest themselves in an alternate personality. Since the story is told from the perspective of a friend of the Doctor, he instead imagines the physical deformities of Hyde due to a denial of the guilt of his friend...am I looking WAY TOO into this?

Anyways, I will post some comments later! :-P

[flashrabbit]

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p97/DkJunior/flashrabbit_chow68_mshyde2.jpg

So.., is a Ms. Hyde ok?

//small edit

[masque]

thanks, nuru, one of my goals is to produce finished pieces in three different rendering "modes", so i appreciate the comment. i also like B&W & greyscale, but color seems to rule the polls, so i'll be doing a colorized version as well.

Rogzilla, check out my current version (updated to a GS rendering, above), maybe it comes closer to what you're talking about? although i don't see him as dwarfish, rather just small, and a sharp physical as well as psychological and moral contrast to Henry Jekyll.

[Aly Fell]

I've gone a bit too cartoony with mine I think, and I've just seen how dark it is on this monitor. I might do a bit of an alteration later if time permits... and I've forgotten his hairy hands! Blah...

Where would we all be without the Tower of Westminster?

C & C's welcome.

flashrabbit - Of course it's OK! I was hinting at it a lot in the brief. :)

http://www.darkrising.co.uk/Stuff/MrHyde600.jpg

[ikuru]

Posh, I would send you some crit if I could but I cant, thats friking awsome man! And I dont think its too dark neither. Your probably just gonne keep winning these arent you? Good luck to you in that King of da chow urban thing you got ut against trevor and chuck and ehrm.. If I had to try and make up a crit it would be he's left hand (my right) something with the little finger and how it is atached to the arm, but really.. wow.

It looks good but he looks...too old and kinda chubby. In a way, it does work, but I don't get that sense of unease that I should, you know? He looks like an angry drunk (though the bottle might be part of that).

[nuru]

Poshspice that is frickin awesome! love the composition and how the figure really kinda looms over you. Wouldnt like to meet him in a dark alley.

[David-david]

Hello people!
This is my grain of sand... It's kinda' scotish Mr. Hyde, in a moment of shere enjoyment.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y296/caradecalcetin/David-david_CHOW63_Hyde.jpg


Good job everybody!

Looking forward to see the works of Edujante, Navarrot and MrGrumble.

[edujante]

damm david david...impressive!!!!higly strong!!!i love how you used yhe palette colour! i wont even think what happen with the guy kicked by mr hyde!!! very good!
Spitch: i love your mr Hyde...really! reaaly nice and also a good render...but, i dont understand why a girl with umbrella..at night! Good work, man!!!!

[David-david]

Edujanate! Grasias por las cocochas pinche gueyyy!!! Hell!!! I die to see yours here!

Decent girls wear umbrellas at night, and they never say maybe either!

So a drunk Mr. Hyde crosses in a rush the city to throw a rain of blood over the
waterproof device.

Next day The Daily Mirror will give us more sad news, and the title will be
"When will it end?"

[Tydal]

well theres no way i could win now but heres my pathetic attempt :P, it's my first time :)
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j194/Soulflay/tydal_chow68_ladyhyde_greyscale.jpg
it's a female interpretation on hyde (yet she was planned to be more scarey, with doctor/miss jekyll with her, but didn't have the time to draw it.) i debated greatly whether to do greyscale or colour, but i went with grey :)
enjoy.

p.s. it was never planned to be this cartoony :P

[navarrot]

Guau!! David-David your entry amazes me :D
Here I post my happy-mad Mr. Hyde. Hope you like it!

http://davidnavarrot.com/images/chow/navarrot_chow68.jpg

[masque]

It looks good but he looks...too old and kinda chubby. In a way, it does work, but I don't get that sense of unease that I should, you know? He looks like an angry drunk (though the bottle might be part of that).after skimming the story once again, i was reminded that Dr. Jekyll was no young man; there's some references that lead me to believe he was at least fiftyish. Hyde was said to have appeared younger than that, but i felt his evil nature and dissolute ways (represented by the bottle) would age him pretty severely. he's also dedicated to depravity, which for Victorian England pretty much meant the seven deadlies, one of which is gluttony, hence the heftier look, also for contrast with the leaner, more aristocratic Dr. Jekyll. i also wanted him to look very non-English, like a low-class foreign tradesman, which appearance would have set off a number of prejudices in the minds of the English gentry of the time. he's a "re-invention" that i think goes back much closer to the original, a bit Baron Harkonnen and Hannibal Lecter, but still a human Hyde, and perhaps more disturbing for that, not as easy to dismiss as a "bogey-man."

updated to color, above.

[nuru]

hey all,
masque, i think it is in a way hyde's humanity and relation to humanity which makes him so sinister - he is the embodiment of all the primitive, 'troglodytic' urges which make us such a scary, destructive race... but i think that, even more than being linked to the seven deadlies, Hyde became a personification of everything intrinsically deformed and evil about our primitive (violent) urges...?
..bah...anyway... :)

[masque]

masque, i think it is in a way hyde's humanity and relation to humanity which makes him so sinisteryup, which is why i didn't want mine to look like another B-movie monster ;). i found it interesting in reading the Wikipedia article that it seems there really has been no literal treatment of the story in popular media (though i'm not sure about theatrical productions), they always "jazz it up" with a romantic interest, or the big ugly monster angle, or more violence than actually occurred. yet at its core, the story is about addiction (to depraved behavior, which Jekyll bemoans in himself before Hyde even makes an appearance), which would seem to be a very modern theme.

[FlipMcgee]

Fixed linked and updated initial thread post.

Very inspired stuff all around.

Cheers!

[bumskee]

nice work everyone! :D

[dragon4lunch]

bumskee, you really are a colour rockstar! I know that from you sketchbook already and this new piece shows your skill again. Man, with so little colour, you can make it sing! Sweet. I need to learn to be that subtle... Great stuff!

[Greenjack]

Mines up. It's true to the original sketch...but was the original sketch where I wanted to be?...not sure. Too whimsical, and somewhat cartoony (despite the million brushstrokes) also lacking in energy/drama. Need to invest some effort into developing some style, I feel that my arts a bit flat. :[

Masque - Love the colour version.

David-david - I'd have said Irish.

[nuru]

bumskee - LOVE your image! you guys do such amazin artwork - is so inspiring :)

[David-david]

Yay, Navarrot! I remember when you doubted about the use of blood on the image, eh eh!

I also remember when I used to change your diapers, BLEURGH!

Very good choice of style. I also like mandarinas

Greenjack- Bloody hell!!! It's scotish!!! WHOOOURRRGHHH!http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y296/caradecalcetin/GODZILLA.gif

[Spitch]

Spitch: i love your mr Hyde...really! reaaly nice and also a good render...but, i dont understand why a girl with umbrella..at night! Good work, man!!!!
Thanx a lot.

I'd never have found a better explanation ! DavidDavid, you're the king of InstantConcept. Just saved my @$$ !

Tommoy, Nice take, I like the creepy mood.
Fuuryoku, Spooky lighting and original interpretation. I just think the pose is a bit static.
Masque, Very nice, I liked each step of your work. The b/w was the strongest to me.
Adonihs, Savage, really dynamic. Nice rendering.
Wasker, ...Seems a bit naked to me :rendered: . I like your brush style render very much.
Moreuvian, Shapin'up great ! keep it up !
Flashrabbit, Cool stuff !
Poshspice, Hello, win ! One more, you nasty award harvester !!!
DavidDavid, great piece, fine rendering. One of the best IMO.(Got something with ginger hair ?!?)
Navarrot, Wacky-nutty Hyde. I like the expression you gave him. I would have liked to draw this face myself.
Bumskee, W-O-W ! The face and the whole pic... (---) no more voice.

[masque]

Masque - Love the colour version.

Masque, Very nice, I liked each step of your work. The b/w was the strongest to me.

:$ I'm so confyused! ;) :teeth:

thanks guys, makes me think maybe both were OK. :)

[foofoo]

Good work everyone! My favourite is bumskee's, and i'm sure i dont hav ta elaborate on that. Heres my take on Jekyll and Hyde

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/foofoo83/foofoo_chow68_hyde.jpg
To me, Mr Hyde is just a manifestation of Dr Jekyll's evil thoughts...

[xgabo]

Hi all,

here is my entry! Hope you like it.
http://tomgarden.co.uk/Webpics/tomgarden_chow68_hyde.jpg
The Final Transformation of the Doctor
Finally, Dr Jekyll decided to remain in his altered state of Mr Hyde. A violent transition as his muscles ripped and tore as they grew. It was his final indulgence of selfishness, he could now be the powerful man he tempted himself with, forever!

I wanted to show a non-typical Hyde, and to try and capture the power that was given to the doctor. Also, the violence of the metamorphasis. C&C Always welcome!

Last minute entry! That was a busy, and ultimately disappointing, few hours. I wish I had started this earlier.

Edujante! Very claustrophobic peace, uh? I like the blue light in the arm a lot, very brave!
And the color burn in the eye, good choice! It's a good excuse to give it
the warm colours wich will fight against the blue ones.
The irritated mouth is very nice, is like he spent all night long drinking cazalla, he he!

I also specially like the ones from Navarrot, Bumskee and Poshspice, I'd like to see Mr. Grumble's shadow in here.

Cheers!

It is with great regret I introduce Ms. Emily Hyde, nee Henrietta Jekyll. Blessed- or perhaps cursed- with a prodigious intellect, young Henrietta intimidated family, would-be suitors, peers of the fairer sex. Societally isolated, she found solace in scientific study, searching for a way to free herself from the bonds placed on her by station and circumstance. Alas, the poor woman’s experiments resulted in a tincture that, when ingested, worked all too well. Soon Ms. Hyde was born, a creature of most unnatural appetites…
