His Dark Shadow

Description

Another entry for Dark Shadows Portrait Contest.

Here we have Barnabas inspecting the overgrown state of the gardens, along with the crumbling walls, and bent gate. Accompanied by his own Dark Shadow.

Inspired by the movie trailer, I was really wild about the idea of having him hold a lorgnette that was a set of fangs. I drew this specifically to incorporate that idea and it just kept growing. After I got it done, I wasn't so wild about the lorgnette anymore. Now my favorite detail is the plastic lawn flamingo. And the shadow. It is a pleasing shadow.

It doesn't show up very well, because he is hidden behind the weeds, but Barnabas is wearing jeans. Because jeans are the best thing about the modern age.


Pen and ink

I do not own Dark Shadows or any of the characters

Great peice.
I dig the ink work.
Yes hes a strange one, really on the balance of his life. On one side he wants to be a part of the family and his new world but on the other he just wants to eat all of them
