Artist Makes New 1930s-Style THE BABADOOK Cartoon Based on Betty Boop
Summer Ray is a voiceover actor, writer, and artist based in London who spent her weekend on a unique project horror fans are certain to appreciate. She created a 1930s-style cartoon character design reference for The Babadook (the opaque villain featured in the film of the same name). It’s based on an authentic design sheet for Betty Boop.
Check out Ray’s original and its inspiration below.
