9 Lombrose St. - Day 7 ~~ "Mumbles" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

Today's bad guy is once again based on the comic strip, since in the Beatty's movie he wasn't that bad or scary ;) Great interpretation by Hoffman, of course :)

Almost there... ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 6 ~~ "The Brow" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

A few more and then the big revelation on the 14th ;)
Today we deal with one of the most infamous villain Dick Tracy had to face: infamous because he was a spy, a dirty job especially in war time. His end was quite exemplary: falling from a building and finishing "impaled" by the stars and stripes flag, symbol of that America he was working against.
I guess I will leave to you the task to make his name ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 5 ~~ "Influence" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

We are halfway there :) A few more villains and this little gallery will end with some fireworks (hopefully ;)). I know, the 4th July is gone, is past, but there is always room for some fireworks, yes? :)

So, let's see if I captured the today guy well: guess who's mug we have here :)

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 4 ~~ "Big Boy" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

I'm really happy to see how everyone is loving this gallery of Dick Tracy villains. It makes me want to do a Shadow villains gallery next :) Thank you so much, my friends.

Today's villain is the boss himself, Big Boy. I tried to stick closer to the strip design more than the Pacino makeup (generally speaking, I am trying to stick to the strip with all of 'em), even if I thought that makeup and that performance in Beatty's movie were one of the greatest from Pacino.

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 3 ~~ "Flattop Sr." ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

so the cat is out of the bag: you all guessed these are Dick Tracy's villains. Kudos to you all :) (even if, since I have great respect of your pulp knowledge, I was expecting nothing less from you ;))
I have been itching to draw this guy since I had the idea to do this. Ladies & Gentlemen, here's Flat Top for day 3! :)

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 2 ~~ "Pruneface" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

No one has figured out yet who these guys are? Maybe you are still recovering from the 4th July booze or maybe you are still on the road for this long holiday weekend: wherever you are, I hope you are having great time :)
Meanwhile I am having great time on Lombrose St. As matter of fact, here's day 2 :)

Cheers,
Francesco
