My original tumblr post was here. This image is the cover of an Italian comic book Naga illustrating a story “Frankenstein “Frankenstein in guepière.” (“Corset” is the best one-word translation for the Italian noun “guêpière” I can come up with, although Wikipedia suggests “Waist-cincher.”) The image was first posted on tumblr by satanik and comes to us via reginaldjuice.

Tumblr favorite #1899: Sometimes a monster just wants to feel pretty, you know?
My orignal tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 069 Monsters Have Secrets.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This artwork in the style of European fumetti comics is a detail from one page of such a comic:
This comics page appears in a 2008 LiveJournal entry as one page of a seven-page strip, which sadly is not identified by name, publication, or artist. However, image filenames containing the string “HEMBRASPELIGROSAS05” suggest that the strip may have appeared in Issue #5 of Hembras Peligrosas, the cover of which advertises a story called El Secreto De Frankenstein. What that “secreto” might be is perhaps indicated by a panel from a different page of the strip:
The subject artwork appears to have also appeared in an unidentified publication with different lettering in French:
Tumblr favorite #1886: Chained Creature, unchained Mate
My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 054 – Chained Monster And Mate.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This “Frankenstein and his bride” image is watermarked “Scott Blair Art”. The source Tumblr blog in the image’s Tumblr chain of attribution is ScottBlairArt, the “artwork blog of modern pinup and sketch artist Scott Blair.” The image appears there under the name Monster and Mate.
Blair’s website is at ScottBlairArt.com. Blair’s “about” page there reveals:
Scott Blair is a freelance illustrator currently located in Tampa, Florida. He graduated in 2000 from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design – focusing on illustration. Originally working traditionally in acrylic paints, Scott made the switch to digital painting in 2005. He takes his original drawings, scans them into Photoshop and paints them digitally using a Wacom pad.
…
In 2007, Scott shot a Bettie Page inspired photo shoot, after which he realized that creating modern pin-up art was his new passion. Since then, he has been creating custom pin-up artworks for commercial and private clients…
The artist’s DeviantArt page includes two more Bride-themed artworks (here and here).
Tumblr favorite #1874: The Bride wears white
My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 043 – The Bride Wears White.” Here is what Bacchus found.
Although the blogspot blog in the URL watermark on this image no longer exists, a version in the Internet Archives from 2014 advertises Dan Fabris, “freelance illustrator for hire.”
A version of the subject Bride of Frankenstein artwork also appears in a five-year-old web tee-shirt shop identifying the artist as Dan Fabris of Parkville, Australia.
Confusion in the provenance of this artwork arises from the source URL in the tumblr chain of attribution, which sources the work to “god-awful.deviantart.com” (note the single hyphen). In fact, the work appears in the gallery for DeviantArt artist god[hyphen][hyphen]awful.deviantart.com (that’s a double hyphen that’s impossible to render literally in both WordPress and Tumblr, both of which insist on converting it to an em-dash) where the art is indeed titled “The Bride.” The artist — who gives his name as “Damn Fabris” on DeviantArt — writes:
I recently saw Bride of Frankenstein.
Great movie! She’s such a rad looking character it’s a shame she does fuck all in the flick.
Anyways, here she is!!
Artist Fabris has in the same gallery a related artwork called simply Frankenstein’s Monster:
Tumblr favorite #1871: The Creature with a heart of gold
My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “http://hedonix.org/2015/02/28/δ-040-frankie-with-a-heart-of-gold/”>Δ 040 – Frankie With A Heart Of Gold.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This artwork is titled There’s Gold In My Heart and is by Ukrainian artist alkonost-terrible on DeviantArt. No additional information about this artist or artwork seems to be available on the web. For interest, her name “alkonost” refers to a harpy-like Russian mythical beast with the body of bird and the head of a beautiful woman.
