My Dark Shadows Art Project
« on: April 03, 2018, 08:38:35 PM »
I thought it would be fun to paint these wooden peg people as Dark Shadows characters. A few years ago, some toy company tried to start a line of DS action figures, but they only released Barnabas, Angelique, and the werewolf. I always wished they would have released more. Too bad because DS had so many great characters. I'm currently amazed at the popularity of those Funko Pop figures based on TV and movie characters, and the simplicity of them, so that was my inspiration for turning these basic wooden peg dolls into DS people. Hope you like them!

Oh, I know - I can't believe that so many shows have a line of them. The last time I was in FYE I swear the entire right side wall of the store was devoted to displaying them!!

Is that Maggie as the Evil Bride of Nicholas? I love it!

I usually don't have any time at all for this kind of thing, but these are cute and charming. Congratulations!

These are amazing; such an adorable tribute to 1968.  I feel uncertain, though, if that's meant to be Willie Loomis or Harry Johnson?

It's supposed to be Willie Loomis. I really couldn't stand Harry Johnson so I probably will not paint a figure of him. LOL
BTW, I painted two more characters in the past few days: Quentin and Chris Jennings as the werewolf. I also posted these pics on a DS Facebook group, and got over 500 likes! Hopefully, MPI will see that there is a demand for DS figurines, and will manufacture something similar because they offer merchandise on their site like bobble heads and lunchboxes, etc.
