Description A very last-minute entry for the Dark Shadows contest. I thought I might try it anyways though, considering that I like Tim Burton's movies, and I like the dark comedy angle he took on this one!

I'm not sure if the original soap opera focused on this element, but from the trailers and interviews that I've seen and read, the Tim Burton version seems to focus more on Barnabas protecting his family instead of concentrating mostly on his love life. So I thought of doing a "family tree" for the background, with his new 70s Collins family, and went from there.

I ran into trouble with the logo and the template; I'm not too computer savvy, and you can tell easily I think. But I hope it turned out okay in the end.

The other entries are amazing! Mine is sandwiched between all of these great portraits and looks even sadder in comparison haha.

I love this! I think you did a great job for last minute and i love how you incorporated the 70s theme in your portrait with the flowers... not many thought to do that and it's probably what they're looking for.

You're welcome. Yeah there were ALOT of really good entries so i can imagine the judges having a hard time choosing the top winners. I didn't even know about the contest till last minute and i feel like if i had more time i probably would have came up with something alot better. But i had to do something, no way was i not going to participate in this one Now there's nothing to do but wait and it's killing me! haha
But yeah i really think you deserve to be one of the finalists, that's my opinion.

Yeah, it seems difficult to pick just a handful of all of that talent flying around. Oh, but I like your pieces a lot! I think you got his face just right. The way I drew his face just looks off to me, haha. And yeah, I know what you mean! Money aside, just to have Tim Burton look at your art would be an honor. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE HE'LL BREATHE ON IT A BIT TOO.
Thank you! Your comment made my day, really.
