Okay, so here's the story for this one. Well, first, I did it all in photoshop, and I actually started it a while back, when I was barely starting to dabble in Photoshop (I'm talking just a couple months ago). I've only just gone back and finished it now, so it's kind of an odd mix of not knowing photoshop well (since I hadn't used it in years), and having a bit more experience with it (though, I'm far from as good as many folks here are with it). But anyway, the REAL story behind this piece is that I was waaaay into "The Addams Family" movies, YEARS ago, when I was WAAAAY into Christina Ricci. This was a few celebrity obsessions ago, since my latest obsession has been Hilary Duff for some time now (though I'm starting to broaden my horizons, as there are a handful of up and comers I am really liking lately). As I was saying though, when I was a schoolboy, I was way into Christina Ricci, and that led to being a BIG Addams Family freak, even though I'm not a goth or anything like that (in fact, I don't think I've ever fit into any specific category like that, I have too many varying interests). So, being that I am a huge Disney fan and always have been, despite being the only one I know, it was only natural that I do a piece like this, and I did. I did it in color pencil, the medium I was in love with at the time (and still like a lot when working in color off the comp). In some ways, that old color pencil piece (wonder if I still have it anywhere), might bare more technical similarities to the Addams Family movie poster than this digital redo does, but this one is fairly good too. I'm pretty sure these are the same characters I used back then, too. Funnily enough, a short time after I did the original version of this piece, I later saw a T-Shirt in a catalog of a Looney Tunes version of this! Anyway, I just decided I wanted to do this again so I could share the idea, so here it is.

And, for those who don't know, the cast here is Gosalyn Waddlemeyer (I hope I spelled that right) from Darkwing Duck as Wednesday Addams, Pooh as Pugsley, Pete as Fester, the old hag from Snow White as Grand-Mama, Roger and Jessica Rabbit as Gomez and Morticia, and one of Mickey Mouse's gloves as Thing. Oh, yeah, and Goofy as Lurch. He must be standing on a box too.
