Artist's Comments

Out of the thousand images I have in my head that I haven't put on paper yet, I finally decided to pull this one out.

I had a conversation with my homeboy recently about how Freddy could be the scariest and most f**ked up of all the horror icons....and reasons why he wasn't (at least to us).

There's so much potential with his character that I don't think has been taken full advantage of yet (outside the first film of course). I mean he's a self mutilating, child molesting dream demon with knives for fingers and burnt skin for christ sake. Yet every film I seen him in I'm not the least bit scared or uneasy watching it because they tend to focus on the comedy more so than anything else. Englund does a phenomenal job, but I think they need to give him darker material to work with to make these films scary again.

So whenever I draw him I try to make the most vile, intense and demonic Freddy I can just for my own satisfaction. Another here ---> [link] I could go on and on how I'd approach the character, and things I would and wouldn't do to make him more scary again, but let me stop poppin' off.

If you look closely at the "children/victims" coming out from his body you will see the masks of Jason and Ghostface (from Scream). I decided to put them in there in the end just for giggles. ;) ;) I know I'll go detail this a bit more so keep an eye out for small updates.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on the character or the comic series in some fashion at some point in my career. Even tho's he's not a top fav of mine horror-wise, he's a fun draw. :)

You have made him scary again...*cheers*

Uh-huh. So that's how ya' want it...
:iconmousey57:
Very cool ;)

It will be interesting to see what they do with this character if in fact they do decide to do a "remake" of the original Nightmare movie. Freddy has always been my favorite horror movie monster and I hope that if they do decide to the "remake", that they bring the dark, scary Freddy back. :evillaugh:

I'll never draw him without that coat. Adds more to the dream/nightmare like theme...kinda like a ghost. :)

:nod: Freddy's like the TAS Joker of Batman.....you can't take him seriously until he hits you with a mallet. I wish he'd be as serious as when he was first created, instead of a happy-go-lucky babyasitter party crasher who got owned by teens in every movie.

After firing the nail gun, your opponent will hear the scream of galvanized steel splitting the air at tremendous velocity. When you hear him suck his last breath it is safe to stop firing. Well, maybe one more shot, just for good measures

Wow! Thats amazing! Wonderful art!

Kitties and puppies falling from sky,
Let me have one before you die,
And when you die,
I shall not cry,
Because you ate the last french fry! <3
