I actually like to imagine that in this drawing, this man is not, in fact, "Jack Skellington" at all, but rather John Mansard--the young man who used to make up stories about scary old Jack Skellington to scare his little nieces and nephews. On Halloween nights, John (known as "Jack" to most) would masquerade as his "creation/alias", "Jack Skellington".

Halloween is coming. This is a thing that makes me happy. ^__^

Last year around this time I downloaded a bunch of halloween songs from iTunes--one of which was "This is Halloween" from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. I LOVE that song, and had in mind to draw a human (emo version, apparently... xD) Jack Skellington. (as many other folks have already done). So I drew this last year, and, at first, had kind-of decided not to finish it because his arms were lookin' pretty wonky, and he had no legs at all. But I still really liked his face, the design of his hair, and the overall shape of his costume (the shape of his suit coat collar reminds me of of a coffin--or a mansard-style roof ^__^), so I decided to crop the drawing as a portrait and color it anyway. for the sake of doing something halloweeny without actually having to draw something new... yeah...

It wasn't too difficult for me to decided that my version of human Jack's hair should be a nice "spiced pumpkin orange" I'd seen other interpretations of "human Jack"--most artists seem to favor a nice shocked white to resemble the color of his hairless skull. (makes sense, huh?) Others chose black, and there were also a few other human Jacks with orange-tinted hair. I just felt like, for my drawing, the composition needed a bit more color to bring it "to life"--that, and the shape of his hair kind-of reminded me of the shape of a pumpkin anyway. lol "pumpkin head" xD

I also really like how the textures turned out in this. I <3 textures! ^__^
thanks to and for their textures which can be found here: [link] and here: [link]
