Lord General (Weird Science) - with process shots
“Do your friends know you wear a bra on your head??”- Lord General (Vernon Wells), from the 1985 John Hughes classic: Weird Science
A childhood favorite film of mine, it got many, many plays on my VCR. And for a while, I was able to quote most of the movie 😂

And then finished up with the final product:
Thanks for following along! I hope you enjoyed the process.
