ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!

Thank you for all the kind words!
Hakalugi, yes, if you watch the final film you will see how Ryan used exactly this spooky point in the film.
RVICTOR, Thank you so much! Yes, I am much happier with the more ESCHER-true version. It helps convey the optical illusion.

As a matter of fact I think I saw a need to move the left stairs a "schooch" to the right.
Yeah, looking at it again tonight, I have to take the stairs on the left and "schooch" them to the right, no photo-shop here . This is gotta' be done the hard way, blood, brush, & tears!

….many tears, falling like a tropical rain!
M.C. Escher knew what he was doing, that's for sure! A genius!

His comments on his unending stair case are a bit funny as he alludes how it's like "LIFE" people climbing one step at a time, for ever and ever, but really never getting any where at all! He claims it was such a depressing Piece! HA! We creative types are all nuts!
Wow, he missed his own marvelous optical skills of magical amazement it conveyed to flower children of the 60's who really made his work popular - much to his surprise! "Hippies are looking at, and enjoying my work! E-Gad!, not hippies!" I heard M.C. Escher was not a fan of the Love Generation.
hiltiki, Thanks! Yeah, it was a creepy creature, and a fun project. One I was happy to help my friend out with. I still am anxious to see how it came out in the final film. It you watch the short film "Case 127" you'll find out exactly where they would have the Demon appear. the full length feature is a more filled out story of that short film.

Well, 10 days till Halloween!
Here's Treat #10.) A new pencil study for the Night Marchers Painting.

This ones marching up the left stairs.

"A Black Cat Crosses the Path of the Night Marchers." is the working title. ( I know, WAY long!)

This is a study for the next night marcher to the left, coming up the stairs behind the Marcher who sees the Black Cat…

This Tiki Head is an idea of how I'd "Tiki-Fy" the Skull on this Night Marching skeleton. I think there will be room for seven Marchers.
If I can squeeze one more Night Marcher in, I'll have one Night Marcher for each of the (major) Islands in Hawaii…
hmmm… I guess that's just too good to not make happen, right!?


MEANWHILE, in the "Bat-Tiki-Cave"… I was shown some new tech for the next "Bat-Tiki X5!"

Speaking of seeing things in da' night… It was a demo of the next "Bat-Tiki X-5" new swanky ultra-cool-feature :

"TIKI-Ghost-o'-Vision!"
( or "Night-Vision" if ya' wanna' be proper n' Less Comic-book & Low-Brow about it, but who wants that? )
OK, I'm sold... (again) I''ll get another one, but it's gotta' be Tiki-Black ….It's on-order!

Tonight's pumpkin colored sunset!
Thanks and Mahalo!
