Guillermo del Toro Deluxe Hardcover Sketchbook

Product Information

The group’s gross-out specialist was Guy Davis, the author of “The Marquis,” a graphic novel that features, as del Toro put it, “awesome genitalia-like monsters.” Davis, a sweet man with a downturned smile and a thinning buzz cut, showed del Toro a Shoggoth mid-transformation. Guillermo del Toro is a creative mastermind: he has directed films like "Pan's Labyrinth", "Hellboy", and "Pacific Rim". He is also co-author of "The Strain", a series of best-selling novels which have been adapted into a television show. It's well known among his fans that del Toro often carries a notebook so that he can write down or sketch out any ideas that come to him (sometimes this will later inspire a character design or a line of dialogue in one of his films).

He pointed at the notebook drawing, which depicted a wizened creature. Originally, he said, the ogre was “going to have an old man’s face,” to indicate that he had been cursed for centuries, but he “didn’t like how trivial it seemed.” To emphasize the Pale Man’s monomaniacal hunger, del Toro asked his designers to render the ogre’s face blank, except for a mouth and tiny nasal punctures. He told them, “Let’s take out the eyes and put them on a platter before him.” The eyes are an allusion to St. Lucy: “I saw a statue when I was a kid where she had the eyes on a little plate. That was pretty freaky, and I liked it.”

That idea of art, exploration — seasonal or otherwise — it’s an intriguing path to the examination of content – if you’re on the path to finding something, discovering that renewed edge, walking the perimeter of the work — how do you get there? What’s the point of the effort taken, the journal / journey wandered. Going out there, I’m looking for what could be found, what could be discovered, beneath that surface.

Elizalde liked the idea. “It’s a cool effect, when you have that ridge of the bone, and you have tissue that’s sort of stringy and hanging on. It’ll be pretty creepy-looking.” Guillermo del Toro: No. This has been 31/2 years in planning.

Unlike in the movies, though, Del Toro couldn’t catch the taxi. Visits to the police and the taxi company proved equally fruitless.The Shoggoths had a racecar sheen. “They are pristine,” he said. “They are functional. They are not asymmetric. Symmetry is efficiency. And these guys need to be efficient.” He wasn’t sure yet if the Shoggoth palette should be “pearlescent” or “circulatory”—reds and blues. Since the Shoggoths could mutate into anything, there was no fixed silhouette, but many would feature a “protoplasmic bowl,” an abdomen-like area from which new forms could sprout. One maquette was a disorienting twist on classic Lovecraftian form. It looked like a giant octopus head with tentacles jutting from the top and the bottom—a fearful symmetry. “That’s my belly in the middle,” del Toro joked. We headed upstairs, del Toro adopting the hushed garrulity of a docent. The walls were crowded with framed images, as at the Barnes Foundation, except in this case the collection featured Edward Gorey illustrations, concept-art sketches of the demon from “Fantasia” (“I’m an obsessive Disney-villain guy”), and comic-book panels, including a Richard Corben drawing of a mutant with four breasts. Del Toro himself still drew. “I cannot learn technique from Caravaggio and those guys—how they did it, I have no idea,” he said. “That’s why I started collecting original illustrations. I wanted to see the brushstroke or the Wite-Out. Then I could understand how they did it.” Applebaum, Stephen (16 de agosto de 2008). «Like his blue-collar demon hero Hellboy, Guillermo del Toro has a few issues with authority». The Scotsman .

Customer reviews

I am very much looking forward to Guillermo del Toro's dark adult fairy tale, Pan's Labyrinth; I also deeply love looking at people's journals and sketchbooks. It's a habit I've never managed to cultivate: as much as I find people's sketchbooks to be the deeply personal stream-of-conscious sprawl of the inner wriggle of their thoughts, I am far too self-conscious to ever work in a medium that can't be constantly revised; I am deeply envious of the people who do.
