#bitelchus

Here it finally is!!!

I'll be honest I originally wasn't sure I was gonna be able to finish this by Halloween and I somehow managed to finish it a week early, this is definetley one of my favorite drawings I've ever made, I love everything about it.

A few fun facts:

I was origanlly gonna do both clothes based on the Bitelchus musical, but then I decided to base Elly's clothin on Cartoon BJ instead, the only remenant from this original idea is the open jacket instead of a buttoned one.

Trucy's clothing on the other hand stayed as musical Lydia, but because I was having so mych trouble finding good reference for her clothes I thought she had fishnets also in the arms, a detail which I kept because I liked the idea.

Instead of keeping the color schemes faitful to the characters I made Elly's clothing using only purples and Trucy's using only blues, the background on the other hand, with the exception of the moon and the ghosts, is made out of diferent greens for that Beetlejuice feel.

I don't know how noticiable it is, but Trucy's fishnets are made using a diferent brush from the one I normally use.

Each tombstone has a different mesage written on it, most of them are jokes however.

I know that I said that Dan was the only ghost that looks like a cartoon ghost, but I really didn't feel like designing a bunch of human ghosts just for this, just don't thing too much about it, ok?

This post is going up on the 25th of october of 2024, Elly's (and Dan's) original posts went up on the 5th of june of 2023 and Trucy's went up on the 29th of july of 2023, it's legit shocking to me how much my art has evolved and improved in just over a year, if you told me I had made this I woudn't have belive you.

I remeber how afraid I was at the start about my posting them thinking they looked bad and that people weren't gonna like them, and i'm not gonna act as if they became super popular or anything, but the reception of those few people was so positive that it pushed me to keep working on them and on the ideas I had for them, unknowingly improving my skills and starting to find joy in something I was originally so scrared of.

Thanks so much to everyone who made this posible, and taugh me that is worth doing it, even if it looks bad or if you're scared, I trully coudn't have made this without any of you! Here's for another great year of art!!!💜💜💜💜
