Barnabas Collins as portrayed by Johnny Depp in the new Dark Shadows film by Tim Burton.

I wanted to give him a hint of a 70's vibe without being too obvious, hence the bright colors. I also looked at a ton of photos and as many videos as I could for the movie to get a good feel for the character.

I hope that I portrayed him well!

This puts me back in that decade. The colors are so what I remember from my youth and, funny enough, the blues, greens, and yellows of the background actually "vibrate" if you stare at it too long! I love his proud demeanor and bemused expression. It is good to see the use of watercolors, a difficult medium for myself, but one which you obviously excel at. I want this in black light...on my ceiling (where, as a teen, I used to thumbtack all of my groovy posters).

Thank you for the kind words! :tighthug: I appreciate them so very much. I'm really glad that the colors came across as very reminiscent of the era, I was worried I hadn't captured quite what I was hoping to with that.
