The First and Last Kiss The room felt cold, but as The Black Torrent shuddered, he realized the chill was not around him, but deep in his bones. He had come to investigate the series of disappearances near the old house. None officially reported, but neighbors insisted that a myriad of people would go into the large Victorian manor -- and never come out.

When he had entered the house, he had caught sight of a man. He was short and hunched over, with messy blonde hair and a dirty mustard colored shirt. He had seemed frightened and disappeared through a trap door in the floor. Despite Torrent's curiosity, he had decided not to follow him. The crimefighter knew there

Down the Rabbit Hole - Relativity Episode 7 Sara sat at the window, staring out at the large lawn of the Gale Home for Children. The sky was dark and rain drizzled from the gray clouds above. It was a dreary day and it matched her mood perfectly.

Sara had spent most of the last week in a fog. After learning the revelation of her brother's secret identity, she had been torn. She struggled to detach herself from the feelings she had developed for Black Torrent — romantic and intimate feelings. She fought to forgive her brother and father for keeping such secrets from her. But most of all, she wrangled with the idea that she was now not only part of one of the richest and mos

17 Years and Forever - Part IISara's eyes hazed. The flicker of the campfire was before her, but it blurred in and out. The men had grabbed her, tying her to a tree. The wound in her side was not deep, but it hurt immensely, and it seeped fluid down her leg. If it wasn't cared for, she would die of the blood loss. Though a part of her realized she'd be dead far before then.

The balding man stood before, smiling to reveal most of his teeth were gone. He snaked his tongue across his lips. "Foolish girl, to come here. Don't you know the Carion Woods are ours?" He moved close to her, the smell of beer thick on his breath. His hand snaked through the ties on her dress

American Gothicby `mirz-alt

Customization / Digital Dolls / Pixel Art / Adopted Base

***Re-uploading this. The original was not quite pillow-shaded, but certainly moreso than not. So, I updated the shading mostly on Gomez, but tweaked Morticia as well. Also tweaked Gomez's hand--which isn't perfect by much better. Much happier with it now. I should really use this as my Halloween decoration on my main account. ***

This is one of my entries for ~ifiknowtrees's doll contest. The goal is to take a famous painting and make a doll version. Now, you can make it traditionally, or you can be creative and do something else--as long as the final product can be recognized as the original piece.

Well, I did a very traditional piece which I am going to upload separately. I also wanted to do one "thinking out of the box." I chose Grant Wood's "American Gothic" because it's so iconic. It also shows how the word "gothic" has evolved over time. First, I thought to do a couple of goth teens. Then I considered (no surprise) a vampire couple. But, neither of those felt right. Then I thought of the original goth couple--Gomez and Morticia Addams!

Even though I had a bit of a trouble with the hair, Morticia was the easiest. I decided to base Gomez more off the John Aston version (though I love Raul Julia in the movies). I looked at so many pictures of Aston. I tried to make the doll look mostly like him, but still a bit original. Also, I should note, Gomez normally wears a pin-striped suit--though not all the time. Anyhow, because of the pitch-fork in front of him, pinstripes were totally lost and confused the piece. I will probably release a version of just Morticia and Gomez and have the pinstripes in that one.

The house in the background is actually a gothic mansion I pixelled months ago. It was heavily inspired by the Addams family mansion and the IRL funeral home that my sister used to work at. I will be uploading the house separate if anyone wants to see the detail. The mansion piece was never finished, so I went ahead and did that--and it took me as long to do that as both dolls together!

Either way, I am so proud of this piece. It was oodles of fun and I think it turned out just right.
