//OKAY IM DONE IM DONE I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST YOU’LL SEE OF THESE!\\

//As mentioned in my last post I made fixes to the 2025 portrait out of my own perfectionism!\\

//Hey Mun! Didn’t you post this last night?!\\

//Yes but I disliked a lot of it so I made a bunch of fixes!\\

//Fixes:

- Erika’s eyes no longer cover her hair, they also have their original downturn.

- Also I remembered her pupils are yellow, not black :’)

- Used the same lighting brushes as I did on the 1969 portrait.

- You can actually see Hattie now! (His cape looked so long it had to be seen.)

- Adjusted Emily’s eyes a bit.

I like it more now!\\

//This sweet family faced some heavy separation, but they’re back together again!\\

//2025 Portrait Coming Soon!\\

//I put myself up to the challenge of drawing the lovely Pace family during the two periods they were a complete unit- 1969 and 2025!

This was my first time drawing Erika in her childhood!\\

//I also took the chance to experiment with lighting! I figured it kind of works(???) let me know if you wanna see a less dramatic lighting version!\\

HEADCANON:

When Erika was little, if she was ever upset about something, one of the best things that would cheer her up or make her laugh was Randall’s signature head trick, transferring it from his body to his hatbox. Something about it was so unbelievably funny to the little ghost girl.

One could only imagine how funny she found it when she learned she had the same ability to remove her own head. She was also quite young upon learning that, and the first thing she did was rush off to show her father that she too, could master his trick.\\
