Dark Shadows Contest

this is my submission for the Dark Shadows Contest on Deviantart :)

I made this piece by using photoshop. all components of the image are drawn out by yours truly with the paintbrush tool. I really wanted this to be a portrait that looks like it could be hung above a fireplace. I put Barnabus in this layed back position because i didn't want him to be completely formal like most portraits are.
overall time: 20 hours
i hope everyone likes it
