Ben Chapman as The Gill Man in his cave layer. I colorized it from a black-and-white frame grab.

I enjoy re-creating my favorite monsters in rubber, but sculpting the clay, making the large heavy molds and or painting them takes  time and space. One night  Tattooed Steve came down to my house and showed me how to colorize photos on my computer.  I still like sculpting the creatures for real, but colorizing pictures from old black-in-white  movies   can be fun too..

I like colorizing some pictures flat and natural, others lush and attractive.

Tattooed Steve favors flatter, less vibrant colors always.

And the best part is I get the color schemes right from the people that had acted and worked on the films like Ben Chapman "The land creature" himself.
 
One of the wildest facts I had found out was the 1954  "Underwater creature", played by pro swimmer Ricou Browning,   had  a completely different suite from that worn by Ben Chapman for the "Land Creature" scenes and, unlike the soft moss green of Ben's  suite,   Ricou Browning's  underwater  suit  was painted a bright yellow which photographed better in black-and-white under water.  Another reason  for the many differences  is the suit had to fit skin tight and fit the size of the actor playing the part, and Ben Chapman was 6 foot 7 inches tall and   Ricou Browning was 5 foot 11 inches. The differences in detailing, the different shape of the faces of the Gill Man mask, everything, becomes obvious if you see them standing side-by-side, but in the context of the movie where only one suit is on screen at a time, most  audiences  don't notice it.

Ricou Browning's different Gill Man suit painted yellow for better visibility under water.

My colorized picture of Ben boarding"The Rita". There are lush colors in real life too.
