Description
A ghost with a hat box in the attic of a haunted manor. Inspired by one of my favorite dark amusement park rides.It began as a pencil drawing, and then was colored in The Gimp.

Is this just by accident or is it inspired by "Death is just a Feeling" by Avantasia? Fits very well.
And great work by the way

I've never heard of Avantasia, so I'd assume not, unless it was a subconsciousness influence without knowing when I would have heard the song.
But, thank you for the compliment!

I just thought, because in the song there's one verse saying "Welcome to the attic" and the song is about a ghost. Also, the singer of that song, Jon Oliva, kind of looks like this one 8D
And you're welcome

I am very hopeful it will happen. I want to believe, but have a little skeptical voice deep inside. Hopefully, it is true.

Well, if you want to wake up at the crack of dawn and wait in line in CA, you can get a Hatbox Sculpture they are creating for the O-pin house Disney pin event this month.

Oh wow. That's incredible.
I hope they bring the hat box ghost back some day.

Me too. Many people have come up with ideas on how they could re-add him, but they probably wouldn't want to take away the focus from Constance right now. Many people still don't like her and Disney wants to win them over.

It's hard to believe a lot of people don't like her o_O
I love Constance. I think she's a great addition to the mansion, and like =fairycthulu said, he could fit right in with Constance and her love of decapitation.

I have not yet seen Constance in action. I am a bit biased towards Emily, the beating heart bride, though. I liked her touch of sorrow, which I thought added a lot to contrast all of the happy ghosts. I wish she were still around somewhere.
The special effects for Constance look really cool in pictures.

I have video of Constance on my YouTube(there's a link in my journal). You can still hear the heart beating in the attic, so Emily isn't completely gone.

I just watched your video - Nice job. It was fun to go to Disneyland for a moment while stuck at work. Thanks.
Your picture of the Mansion that was shot vertically was very good.

And, I'm glad you liked the video.

Well, he would fit the Constance theme though too....with the disappearing head and all, it could work in the context of the current scene, timed to the heads in the paintings disappearing and her having the ax.

That's a very good point. I wonder if Disney has thought of it that way.

Me too! But, he probably wouldn't be as cool if he had. They just need to bring him back with hight technology!

That would be awesome

That's kickass, to put it lightly...he is one of my favorite characters as you can tell from the icon, long since vanished or not.....amazing design work and great homage to a truly classic dark ride.

Thank you very much! I'm very proud of it, seeing it is my first digitally colored work.
