Description
... House for sale! Not haunted at all!
I love Halloween. It's possibly my favourite time of the year (or, as I'd call it, "The most wonderful time of the year.") It's not possible to just stand idly by and watch people come up with really cool Halloween related arts and crafts while I sit on my hands. No, no!
If you are the Trick-or-treating type, be careful out there while you are having fun. And watch out for that little rickety house at the end of the alley with the boarded-up windows, yes?
P.S.: Darnnit, I got too busy and completely missed the deadline for the Fan-art Mash-up event. Oh, well. I'll make sure it gets done anyway. It just means I won't have a shiny new badge to show for it, that's all. But for everyone out there who is waiting... I haven't forgotten yet!

I know it supposed to be haunting, but it's so soothing at the same time. Maybe it's because the well-tought-out composition. I can even imagine hanging it on my wall.

I am really glad to hear that!
I think this is the first time I have heard of this project described as "soothing". But I like that description. You are the first one to agree with me, this house may not be haunted at all!
Thank you so very much for your very kind words!

Well, there might be a small tension in it, which comes from the slightly distorted lines of the house - as far is I think.
And yet the composition is superb, the precise forms, the tricolor base... but at this point, I think I just started to repeat myself.
I should check your gallery more often.
Keep up the great work!

There is a little bit of cartoonish exaggeration in the composition, so the house is "bulged out" in the middle. That's why some of the lines appear to be bent and distorted. It helps to make parts of the house appear a little more endearing (and less haunted... 
Thank you for your encouragement!

Yes! The haunted house is already in the group! (You can find it in the "Featured" folder.)

Very nice my friend
Oh I will be careful! There is a reason I carry a gun!.. never know when those zombies and skeletons will come for ya on Halloween 
Well I would run from the other two as well but it would be more of a tactical retreat
This is really awesome though man

You're the second person asking me about buying this house.
I'd say to carry the silver bullets... but damn, silver is way to expensive these days. What you might want to do is to take a knife and cut a cross into the led tip of an unjacketed round. Lead is usually soft enough to cut into with a sharp knife. And hey, a blessed round oughta do some damage to them werewolves. It might not sting as badly as silver, but it's better than nothing!
I didn't know that was a song!
I had the Addam's Family theme stuck in my head during the production of this one, though! Love that show!
Thanks a lot for supporting me and supporting this work. Much appreciated!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well silver plated is enough! That is a good idea in the mean time though I have no lead hollow points, or lead tipped ammo. I would only want lead tipped for hunting and I have not gone hunting with my pistol.. yet

Haha nice. I have not seen much of it sadly but I know the show a little
Of coarse my friend
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fair enough! But hey... since multiple people have asked me about how much the property is... you can't blame me, can you?
Oh, yeah! That would do, too!
I remember the Addams Family from when I was a kid. I never really got to watch the TV show, but the movie came out not long after I came to Canada. Always loved that song... it's funny and quirky and instantly recognisable. Can't go wrong with it!
Thanks a million!

Me neither until I saw him with the silver bullets
Oh nice
Haha yeah, I didn't know the gunshop he goes to has a store puppy lol. When I saw that I had to include it too
Ah ok. Hmm I didn't know they had a Adam's Family movie!
Oh you had heard the song? Ikr? Its so catchy lol.
Uhh a lot
Your welcome

I -am- a good salesman, dude. I just don't sell normal things.
I have to convince people they should take their medication, quit smoking, get that surgery done... I do lots of sales!
If you find out more about those silver-jackets, definitely let me know. This is the first time I've seen anything like that!
In the meantime... a local optometrist have a "store puppy", too. He's quite a bit bigger, though (a Golden retriever mix). A game shop I used to go to has two "store kitties." I am still surprised that they haven't bitten anyone yet...
Oh, they had 3 Addams' Family movies! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adda… (I've only watched the first two.) And it is so very catchy! I have two recurrent earworm songs. One of them is the Addams' Family song, and the other one is the "Tales From the Crypt" theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae5Xwk… Both very catchy!

For sure!
Oh cool
Haha were the cats that wild?
Oh nice 
Oh why thank you for the approval! I totally needed it! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised! You have to lie through your teeth on a regular basis and call on everything that's holy under the sun in order to make the sale. It's no wonder that some folks get really self-destructive. Then again... I can speak from first-hand experience. My dad's family are all business people. I've been working for them since I was in high school. I told you... I know sales. I just don't sell normal stuff.
Yeah! Let me know so I can do the same!
Well, the cats weren't wild. But they are very... cat. As in, they don't like being touched or petted. But a lot of people will try anyway. The black one meows to complain and the white one... well, she just up and slinks away. Just being cat, you know?
Oh, no worries. Like what I said before the links are there if you want to see them or not.
And yes, please!

Yeah, that and that whole weird competitive atmosphere they always had going on, there was so much pressure to make more and more and more money. It was all about what have you done for them lately, because if you were not making them as much money as someone else could, they mine as well fill your seat with someone else who can make more.
You say that like I didn't believe you lol 
Copy

It really -is- very competitive as a sales. And thanks to people like Glengarry Glen Ross, the top-down people feel like they are paying for performance without taking in consideration that they are also the livelihood of those who need that salary. What they don't understand is that when most people are without a job, nobody has spare change to for them to make a sale. It's basically a negative feed-back loop. I think that's why I got out of the sales game and early. Of course, I am still selling "Quit smoking", "cut down drinking" etc to people. So I guess my skills aren't being wasted...
Well... it actually doesn't. Silver is awful expensive these days. A gram of silver used to cost at least 1/6 of today's price. I can't afford a silver blade! Besides... I'm no kung-fu master. I don't want to get -that- close to anything that I need a blade to take down. Distance beats claw marks, you know.
Exactly! She's just being... cat. And while I understand that the cats love the store (which is a converted attic, lots of nooks and crannies for them), the people sometimes spook them out. Can't blame them, though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah 
Speaking of which when you say "Glengarry Glen Ross" all I can think of is the movie lol.
Yeah, or I have always thought, the fact that they are there kind of lends to the possibility that they don't care that they dealing with peoples lively hood. If they were able to do it, there is no reason their underlings can't, the strong survive, the whole thing.
Hey well that gets your salesman fix in theory, but without the self destruction
I did not mean solid silver
Haha good point! Science to the rescue!!!!
Oh man that must be nice for them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not a fun game, to say the least.
And yes, the "Glengarry Glen Ross" -is- a movie reference. "Always be closing", apparently, is the law of the game. And what a game it is... so much that I never want to play again.
I don't have a salesman fix... it's just a set of acquired skills. If I don't have to use them I wouldn't be sorry, really.
Silver isn't a particularly soft metal. Gold, on the other hand, is. There has been a number of silver weapons that has survived hundreds of years out there. And silver knives and cutlery are still very serviceable. Silver-plating makes things easier, that's for sure. With the price of silver these days, all we can afford is the plated stuff!
Oh, yeah. The cats actually love the place. They just don't always like the people in the place...

ABC, A always B be C closing, always be closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING>.. yeah i know the deal
So what did you do when you were in the shit?
Ah ok fair enough. Hey I understand not wanting to have to use it but in the real world, just think of it as a good non violent way to get yourself of of some situations or in your case get folks to actually understand why they should do something.. other from that, just try to enjoy the power I would say (though that may be the liquor
Good point. I was thinking of it as soft in the same way I think of copper as "soft" like it does not damage a steel barrel on a gun 
I can imagine
Hey semi offtopic, but you heard of CupHead??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't know if there was a firm by that name or not, either. But I wouldn't be half surprised if there was. I mean, those firms are always named like someone cut it out of a phone book or something...
It's good to know how to negotiate, because it's hard to get people to do what you want them to do.
In the meantime... hey, liquor! What are you drinking?
Now... copper -is- a soft metal. Softer than silver, that's for sure. But... when it comes to scratching the barrel... heck, I don't know where silver lies on the spectrum. You better ask the guy with the silver bullets!
Cuphead? Isn't he a character from some game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fair enough haha. They really do.
Well I meant more like what job did you have? What kind of job was it, what part of the sales industry, like mortgages, loans?? I take it it was mostly through family or?
Lol funny transition
Actually I just looked it up and the hardness of copper is greater than silver. Not by much but silver is not as hard.
Yeah, regardless of hardness, we know its softer than steel so that is prolly why it causes no issue
Haha yeah not really!
It is, the game is named after him. Its a super hard side scrolling platformer bullet hell lol. Never thought I would like a game like this
The animation style is badass though! Its done like a 40s cartoon and does not look digital at all really! Its amazing! Look it up

Lawyers do the same thing. Every law firm sounds like a cut-n-paste ransom letter cut out from the phone book...
Oh, that! Well... what did I have to sell... When I was working for my dad, we sold sunglasses, purses, other novelty trinkets... usually wholesale, but we do, once in a while, have some retail. We used to participate in an annual community garage sale. So that's totally retail. The strangest thing I have to "sell" is probably when I was working as a receptionist in this language school. They had a new course that teaches people how to pass a college entrance exam. I had to sell -that- package to the people who call in to ask!
I guess our liquor taste runs a bit differently, then.
Copper -is- harder than silver? Well, shucks. I just checked and you are right. Mohs 3 vs Mohs 2.5 I guess I was thinking about something else, then.
Sure, will do!
I heard a lot of nice things about the animation style of Cuphead. That's probably the first thing that came to mind when you asked. The game play never entered my head!
