Ah, the ever morose Barnabas Collins... He had brooding down to an art form. Not only have you captured Mr. Depp, but also elements of his predecessor, Mr. Frid. In how that you've stylized his facial features and hands, I detect a nod to Edward Gorey, illustrator of the macabre. Whether this was subconscious on your part, or not, it still adds an air of whimsy appropriate to the Burton-Depp interpretation of Barnabas Collins.
There is so much to like in this piece. I think the pose is both telling and amusing--the glumness of his expression and the slouch of his body speak of utter dejection. What few elements of color there are-- the purple majesty of drapery, similar moonlit hues upon the floor tiles, glowing orange-red lamp, a maroon velvet chair, blood- red ascot--all try mightily to cheer this fellow up. He won't have it; so, sullenly he sits.
A tale you do weave with your artful rendition of Mr. Collins' world of dark shadows. (The glow of the Lava Lamp upon the table and books is priceless.)

I don't think you get to meet him, it's just that he gets to decide the grand prize winner.
Don't be discourage of me, before I finished this I browsed the latest submissions and found someone else already did this and a whole lot better. I moped for about ten minutes before reluctantly painting again.

Aww.... no meeting Tim Burton? But I love his work!! Oh well. Even having him look at my work would be pretty awesome.
Maybe you're right, but I have no idea what to draw, and even if I did, right now I have no way to scan it. ...... I'll figure something out, God damn it!
