Artist's Comments

I have been a loyal Haunted Mansion fan for probably ten years now, but darned if doing fanart for it isn't tricky. I've been working on some version of this drawing since February of last year, and I've finally managed to finish the latest incarnation. Phew.

This is the second-edition 'beating heart' bride who used to reside in the attic before being replaced by Constance in 2006. The original Bride was spookier, but the second one in all her mysterious and tragic glory is my favourite, with her curls and her glowing eyes. I know fan backstories for her exist, but I prefer to make up my own. It's clear to me that somebody done her wrong.

By the way - the glowing of her heart is not acting as a light source because it is magic. Also, She is a ghost and so the light doesn't reflect off of her. Okay?

This is amazing! :D
I love the colors and absolutely adore her hair. You really put great effort in this. I wonder what her story is?

That's really cool - I'm going to have to try my hand at opencanvas - I like the way the brushes look.

Psh, light reflects off of ghosts. :P Depending upon your lore, I suppose.

I like the idea that now she's all tragic cause Connie took her place and she's working to get her revenge "P

On an actual commenting note. This is fantastic. You really captured the tragic beauty of the bride and I love it. Kudos ^_^

cool! I've also been a haunted mansion fan for a very long time... and in nearly every back story that i have heard some one did her wrong.
