Visual Concept & Artistic Intent
This master artwork piece serves as an intricate visual tapestry for The Monsters Were Never The Point. Enclosed within a towering stained-glass gothic cathedral frame, the artwork explores the internal battles fought by each archetype.
At the summit, Vanessa Ives holds a rosary under a rose window, flanked by Frankenstein’s creature holding a fragile white lily, Ethan Chandler emerging alongside his inner beast, Victor Frankenstein in his laboratory, and Dorian Gray gazing into a fractured mirror reflection.
