Dark Shadows Portrait of Barnabas Before

Hoi finally done, thought since the portrait would be in his old house, thought maybe it would be of him before he was vampire. And i went for the ole classical Victorian oil painting look. It is a pain in the ass to draw characters based off your own original pose. Went through soooo many pictures of Johnny Depp, the problem is he always has a mustache!

I could really use the win. The term broke ass artist has never been more true. I would use probably 98% on my loans.... Haha Or was it starving artist.. no no cant be it. I just had an orange. Yeah broke ass artist.

Update, added some under eye shadow, after looking at the trailer a little more, even as a human Barnabas has dark bags. What the hell was i thinking.

Update, some adjustments to try and make it look more like baranabas expanded his jaw, lowered his right brow, and shrunk his eyes a bit. Hopefully it was enough...
