So over on patreon Trevor asked for my take on the Addams Family and I grew up LOVING the Addams family movies so here we are. Instead of doing a straight up style interpretation, I decided to do a full on design challenge, using the characters as bases to make a black southern gothic Addams au. I actually drew the kids first, using the character bases of Wednesday and Pugsley to create some delightful kiddos I’m calling Sunday and Blanche. I of course then redesigned Gomez and Morticia into Carlisle and Mortesha.

The Addams have a very specific high aristocratic goth aesthetic (they’ve got a butler and nobody really works among other things) so in this re-imagining I wanted to go with vibes that run a little more middle class/upper middle class.  I thought it would be interesting to think about what would be considered weird and off-putting in an entirely different culture, and how being a big ol’ goth is way less controversial than it used to be.

I tried to keep this short (HAHAHAHAHAHA) so I didn’t spin off into an essay about villain coded families, black people in the horror genre, and normalcy as it pertains to social survival, but just…bits of that are in these designs and lore. Keep that in mind.

Also I made the kids twins because they’ve flip flopped in age so much in different media and also twins run in my family (i’m the daughter of one). And let’s face it, I’m pulling a lot of their southern gothic traits from living as a southern goth so *shrug*.

10 thousand pounds of lore incoming loooooooooool.

Twombstone! This gruesome graveyard golem emerged when two powerful bodies were buried too close together! Wielding the fabled Grave-grab sword, Twombstone can clasp corpses right up from the ground to enchant and toss at foes with the scariest of accuracies!
