Description Behold, it's finally finished! My Ruby Gloom photomanip.

I recently started re-watching this series (find it on YouTube), and fell in love with it all over again. Misery especially, I can't get enough of her. Her character is just so brilliant and her lines are so well written.

I actually ended up painting quite a lot on this image. The things I've painted are:

On Ruby: Hair (on top of a base made from PS hair brushes by Falln-stock, credited with a link below), some of the dress, the stockings, and the makeup.

On Skullboy: Eyes, stripe on gloves, decoration on shoes

On Misery: A lot of the bodice of her dress, the neckline of the dress (except the lace and brooch), gloves, makeup, tears, dust bunny, rose vine around staff.

On Poe: All of his coat, all of his shirt, ankle cover thingies, glove, eye (although you can't really tell at this resolution, heh).

Other: Doom's collar (the feathery part), all of Mr. Buns (except the overlaid texture and his button eyes), the fire in the fireplace.

And here's the credits for all the stock I got from DevArt!

Room:
All vintage photos on wall:
Frames (left to right):
Model for Ruby: Lace on Ruby's dress: Tiny little skull on Ruby's shoe: Brushes used on hair:
Skullboy's head and hands: Belt: Skull belt buckle:
Misery's skirt and veil: Misery's arms/sleeves, some of her bodice, and most of her staff: Misery's face and hair: Gold circles on Misery's veil (they're actually suns): Black rose on Misery's staff: Lantern hanging from Misery's staff:
Model for Doom Kitty: Tiny key on Doom's collar:
Model for Poe: Poe's top hat:
Texture on Mr. Buns (although you can't really see it at this resolution, heh):

Whew! Hope I got everyone. Please tell me if there's someone I've missed, so I can add them!

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear anything due to the absolue amazingness of your picture. Honestly, most realistic versions of the characters I've seen so far are lacking in... Well not only cuteness but also how acurate the characters were. This I can actually see being a live action film one day (Well we can always wish, can't we lol) you even have the little line of tears (or whatever they are) under Misery's face. It's criminal how many people forget that part.

No way, Misery's tears are an integral part! : )

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate and am flattered by your compliments!!

It reminds me a bit of Addams Family, but in a good way.

Not that AF wasn't good.

...fantastic work.

It's really quite refreshing to see the RG cast again, since I haven't watched the show in what feels like forever. ^^

Thanks! I'll probably be doing more Ruby Gloom work in the future, since I'm rewatching the series, so keep an eye out. : D

No problem! I'll keep my eyes peeled, then.

It's funny, because "back in the day" when I was a regular Gloomaholic, I drew RG stuff almost non-stop. I haven't drawn much of Gloomsville's citizens lately, but that was a kind of critical turning point in my art. [link]

Aw, very nice, I really like the different costumes and roles that you've portrayed the characters in! ^_^

Thanks! ^^ I used to be pretty involved with the first Ruby Gloom fan club on dA (founded before the introduction of Groups), so many of those were drawn for contests. ^^

Then again, some of them were drawn JUST BECAUSE HAHAHA. :3
