From the very beginning, KreatureKid helped bring the world of Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls to life.

Created at age 12, thanks to his lifelong love of The Creature From the Black Lagoon, Adam Dougherty created the mask that would later be modified into Uncle Gilbert. That mask was painted to match the costuming and graced the screen two decades after being made in Rob Zombie’s The Munsters to bring Uncle Gilbert back to the big screen.
Fitting the alternate reality of the Watchmen universe, KreatureKid handcrafted a series of marionettes being puppeteered in episode 7 of the hit HBO series - “An Almost Religious Awe”, leaving a feeling of unsettling whimsy over the visage of the larger than life Dr. Manhattan and the miniscule foot soldiers before him.
