I’ve been pouring over Charles Addams and Dan DeCarlo’s art. Such
inspirations to me. I decided to take a crack at my interpretation of
the Addams Family.
The top is my final design, the second is my second attempt, and the bottom is my first attempt.
The final rendition I fixed his cigar, and gave Gomez the John Astin signature devious smile. Really grateful to so much constructive criticism on this piece.
The second attempt I went straight for a John Astin
look, rather than the previous attempt that was a blend of John Astin
and Raúl Juliá’s features with the initial design. I think the previous attempt turned him into a
young Cesar Romero.
I still need to flip the cigar. I totally wasn’t even thinking when I
drew it lit. I was basing it on an Astin photo with an unlit cigar.
