Ghostbusters-Peter Venkman

Ghostbuster Venkman

Here is the start of a new series of drawings based on the original Ghostbusters movie from 1984. It’s Peter Venkman, played by Bill Murray. Since he is my favorite of the Ghostbusters, I decided to start with him. The drawing is ink on Bristol board and is about 6″x8″ and is for sale for $25.

The Haunted Mansion’s Singing Busts

Singing Busts

As we near our time in the Haunted Mansion(for now), we make our way past some crypts and hear some familiar music being sung by these 5 characters.  Probably the most iconic of the characters in the graveyard scene, these characters are still to this day a great looking effect.

This is the original drawing in ink and marker before the color job in Photoshop.

Haunted Mansion’s Cemetery Caretaker

Caretaker

This is one job that most of us would not want!  He is the originally named, Caretaker.  We run into these two just after escaping the attic of the Haunted Mansion, right before we make our way into the cemetery,  They are like the Shaggy and Scooby Do of the Mansion.

Organist of the Haunted Mansion

Phantom Organist

Today’s foray into the Haunted Mansion brings to the end of The Ballroom where we get to see a room filled with dancers and a huge dining table where a birthday party is taking place.  The music for the party is being played for us by this ghostly character.  And, as he plays, skulls fly out of the pipes of the organ.  But, this is not the end of our trip through the Haunted Mansion, we will be looking at the views from outside, in the cemetery.

This piece was done with ink and markers and colored in Photoshop.

The Haunted Mansion’s Madame Leota

Leota color

“Madame Leota, the medium who was chanting the plaintive incantations, was quite unique. She was truly a disembodied spirit; a mere talking head inside a misty crystal ball. As she invoked the spirits, objects floated about the room in response to her supplications.”

  Madame Leota is our second piece of art for this week and she too is a resident of Disney’s Haunted Mansion.  This drawing was originally done in ink and markers and colored in Photoshop.  It was created for the video of a Haunted Mansion collectable unboxing video series:

Serpents, and spiders; tail of a rat; call in the spirits, wherever they’re at!  Rap on a table, it’s time to respond; send us a message, from somewhere beyond!  Goblins and ghoulies, from last Halloween, awaken the spirits with your tambourines!   Creepies, and crawlies; toads in a pond; let there be music from regions beyond!  Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell, give us a hint, by ringing a bell!

Enter, If You Dare..

The Mansion color

“Have you ever seen a haunted house? You know the kind I mean. That old, dark house that’s usually at the end of a dimly lit street. The owners haven’t been seen for years; no one really knows why. The windows are broken and boarded, and the shutters hang loose on their hinges. The trees have grown wild; their branches brush against the sides of the weathering house, making strange noises in the night. There’s a high, vine-covered fence around the property… is it there to keep somebody out? Or is it there to keep some… THING inside? It’s a house that people avoid walking past at night. Strange sounds come from within the walls, and it’s said that eerie lights have been seen both in the attic windows, and in the graveyard at the side of the house.”

That is a description of the eerie mansion that is the home of 999 happy haunts, as described on the record, The Story and Song of the Haunted Mansion.  And anyone who has made a trip to visit this Mansion at night would probably agree with the description.  This is the view you get as you enter the queue and pass the horseless hearse, snaking in front of the mansion as you are on your way to the porch and into the Mansion.

The  drawing was completed with ink and markers and colored in Photoshop.

Here is the original non colored version.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula

I have crossed… oceans of time to find you…

  Here is a portrait of Vlad Dracula and Mina from 1992’s, Bram Stoker’s Dracula.  This movie, I find, is a bit polarizing to to many horror movie fans.  I think the fact that the movie is more romance than horror is probably the big hurdle.  Well, that and Keanu Reeves’ performance.  Bad acting aside I do enjoy this film.  I think it’s visually stunning.  And, I do enjoy the romance between Mina and Dracula.  As a monster movie fan I can’t say this is my favorite version of Dracula.  I will always pick the original Bela Lugossi film as my favorite Dracula flick.  But, the 1992 version is still an enjoyable addition to the Dracula film catalog.

Mina: I want to be what you are, see what you see, love what you love.

Dracula: Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.

Mina: You are my love… and my life, always.

Dracula: Then, I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me to be my loving wife, forever.
