Day 29: Addams Family: Wednesday - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Wednesday

Hey, it's Wednesday, again--And it's also Wednesday Addams!  Oh, and it's the same joke as last Wednesday.  That's right, I'm so environmentally conscious, I recycle all my jokes, too!  Although, it's probably better to just leave them on the compost pile now that I think about it...

This time, it's a semi-cartoonish version of Christina Ricci from the amusing "Addams Family" (1991) and "Addams Family Values" (1993).

STEP ONE:  Here are the quick, digital pencils in Rebelle 8 on a 2,000px x 3,000px @300dpi digital canvas with the digital Pencil Brush.

* * *

STEP TWO:  Because I wasn't paying enough attention, I had merged down and kept working on the first pass layer until it was pretty much done.  Ah, well, one of these days I will learn.  Not any time soon, I'm sure, but one of these days...

Day 24: Addams Family TV Series (1964): Uncle Fester - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Uncle Fester

Ah, Uncle Fester.  One of my favorite characters in "The Addams Family" TV Series.  "It all began and started, when Uncle Fester farted..." Oh, wait, that's an alternate lyrics to "The Addams Family" theme song that we sang back when I was a kid--right up there with "Jingle Bells, Batman smells..."

One week to go!

* * *

STEP THREE:  Here are the finished tones and values, done with lots of blending, back-and-forth, etc.  I also used the airbrush tool to add a bit of a glow to the lightbulb.

Day 22: Addams Family TV Series (1964): Wednesday - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Wednesday

Continuing The Addams Family, it's Wednesday!  Oh, and it also Wednesday Addams, too!

Yes, I had to plan on starting The Addams Family series with Gomez on this past Sunday to make sure Wednesday would be done on, um, Wednesday (sure, I could have reversed Pugsley and Wednesday if needed, but that's beside the point).  Yes, it's a long, long way to go for a single, bad joke, but I never let a little something like that stop me.

STEP THREE:  Here are the finished tones and values, done with lots of blending, back-and-forth, etc.  I also realized the head was tilted a little too much to the side and straightened it about 10-15 degrees.

Day 21: Addams Family TV Series (1964): Pugsley - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Pugsley

Continuing The Addams Family, here's Pugsley.  Kids... very scary!  (I suddenly feel like Count Floyd from SCTV and his 3D House of Pancakes.  Sigh.)

Day 20: Addams Family TV Series (1964): Morticia - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Morticia

It's the O.G. Goth Woman, Morticia Addams!  A rapier wit.. and a rapier to match for that matter.  Apparently, she also speaks French.  Or, at least, Gomez has commented on it once or twice.

Day 19: Addams Family TV Series (1964): Gomez - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
Addams Family: Gomez

Time for another series, why not?  I've had several people suggest "The Addams Family".  Sure, but if I'm doing it, it's gonna be the black-and-white, 1964 TV Series.  Yes, the 1990's movie (and its sequel) was fun, but it's the original TV Series that comes to mind.  Well, that and the original Charles Addams comic panels, which were delightful fun in a semi-macabre way that I would randomly find in collected cartoon books.  They called to my morbid sense of humor as a kid and would often get a cackle or two outta me.

STEP TWO:  And here is the first pass with Rebelle's Soft Charcoal Brush.

* * *

STEP THREE:  Here are the finished tones and values.  I noticed there were a few things to correct, such as the cheek/jawline along the right-side.  The rest of it was mostly minor changes and a bunch of more subtle shading, etc.
