Description DISCLAIMER: "Beetlejuice" and its characters are the creation of Michael McDowell (who wrote them in the first place). Tim Burton directed them.

Well , here's that "Beetlejuice" drawing I promised you all those months ago! Hope you like it!

Anyway, the approach I went for with this drawing was to fuse elements of both the film version and cartoon version of these characters...in my style, of course. I must say that I'm extremely happy with how Lydia turned out. I was a little worried about how Beetlejuice would turn out in my style but overall, I'm pretty pleased with the final result.

I hope you don't mind me getting just a little shmoopy on you guys right now but there really was one major piece in this image...

My grandma (also an artist) passed away this past week while I was working on this drawing. With your kind words and encouragement, I felt a certain push, a rush of motivation if you will, that powered me through the final steps of this drawing so I have to send a little quick shout of thanks your guys' way. You're all fantastic.

Um...anyhoo...BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE!! BEETLEJUICE!!!

Well, his name is technically Betelgeuse but Beetlejuice is just more fun to say and type.

Anyways, thanks for the great comment and support.

Simply awesome! I loved both the show and the movie (don't know why the TV series hasn't had a boxset yet).

OMG omg o.m.g this is just friggin sweeeeet, i mean the fact that someone actually draw something FOR ME !! And not the other way around...and my all-time favourite character from my all-time favourite movie and cartoon...seriously, I almost cried a little...THAT awesome this is ^_^. And seriously, i love how you made Lydia dressed like in a cartoon, but she's more mature version...like in the movie. And Beetlejuice...with that green shit on head and lips...looks like mix of movie and cartoon versions which i always like to see, because it shows level of creativity in artist and here....its over nine-thousaaaaaaaaaaaand @_@.

I love this artwork, I love the fact that you made something for me ^^...you are such a big bag of awesomness that if i lived in Canada i would marry you .

And sorry to hear about your loss, but as long as you will remember her, she will remember to look down from the skies and check out whats up with her awesome granddaughter :* .

Awww...Maro, between all that's been going on, the support I've gotten, the amount of time spent reading givesmehope.com and mylifeisg.com and your comments...I'm actually getting a little choked up here, I hope you're happy!

Seriously though, I'm so glad you liked it and that I did the ghost host with the most and the strange little girl justice. I was also more than happy to take on the suggestion you had offered me.

Again, thank you so much for your encouraging words. They're always greatly appreciated, especially right now.

Jenna it's gorgeous
the clours all work so well together
and you managed to actually mingle the real life likenesses and cartoon likenesses, as well as your own style PERFECTLY.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, but dhe must be happy knowing she has an incredibly beautiful, astoundingly creative, and stupendously talented granddaughter in you.

I'm really happy to hear that I managed to pull off the fusion I was going for but most importantly, thank you so much for your kind words. They really help me out a lot.
