No, this is not the infamous 1931 James Whale version of Frankenstein, this is going by roughly what I pictured him to be from the BOOK by Mary Shelley.

"Beautiful!--Great God! His yellow skin scarely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast in his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled countenance and straight black lips." pg 60, --Mary Shelley

Eh, okay, now that I just typed and read that, the picture seems VERY off... Well, I got the long hair part... Anyway, you get the idea.

Yeah, I wanted to get away from the stereotypical one. The book is so much better than the movies.
Thank you very much! :D

Thanks!
Yes, I too am very disappointed to see so many people contaminated by the movies and not even taking a glance at the book which is a masterpiece. Okay, I'll get off my soap box now... But, love that novel. :)
:iconflameshadow117:
haha, I totally agree! It sorta makes me cringe every time I see that green guy with bolts in his neck XD

Although, to be fair, alot of my anger at the Boris Karloff version was assuaged when I saw the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein. It didn't follow the book at all, but it didn't completely disregard it either. Kinda kept the tone of the novel better....
