via disneyland around the 90s??? i think. pre-constance brides are really difficult to trace at times, but she's definitely one of disneyland's brides. if anyone wants a comprehensive bride history thingy hmu :_D
Random Thought but here's how I think karoake night at the Haunted Mansion would go
Ghost Host would go up first and sings "When You're Evil" by Voltaire (no particular reasoning for this, I just think the song fits him). He wants to show the other happy haunts how it's done, set the tone for the rest of the night.
I like to think Ezra would go immediately afterwards because he wants to show off. He performs "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen (if you've read his entry in the Ghost Gallery, you know why). Admittedly, he has a great stage presence, but is a bit full of himself. For the sake of comedy, I like to imagine he attempts to jump into the crowd, only for everyone else to move out of the way and he flops on the floor pathetically.
In my headcanon, Gus is mute. So I imagine him signing along to the "Cha Cha Slide". Alternatively, he can do the Tequila song. Ezra and Phineas are hyping him up in the background.
Phineas I think would do "Never Gonna Give You Up". He just feels like a troll like that.
Constance would sing "Money Money Money" by Abba. Because of course she would.
Madame Leota feels like a power ballad girlie. I don't know many fitting songs of that type though. First thing I could think of was "My Heart Will Go On".
Emily and Hatbox Ghost would want to do a duet, so they sing "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. The song choice is deliberate so that most of the focus is on Emily's vocals. It's not that Hatty is shy or doesn't want to show off. Rather, it's that he thinks singing isn't really his thing.
The Executioner would sing "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters.
The Organist provides everyone's musical accompaniment.
Sooo the Tokyo Bride is Constance now ? Seems like it, since the launch of 'Story Beyond' game. The Constance's husbands portraits and the five pearls necklaces has been added in the scene.
The new Haunted Mansion Behind the Scenes video has a side by side between Constance and the Movie's Bride. I LOVE this redesign with all the flowers. Looks like Winona Ryder isn't Connie, but I think she looks fantastic.
I really hate how it turned out tho, looks so weird now that I finished and see it properly. It really was better in my head but whatever, I just wanted to get the idea done.
I want to be kidnapped and taken care of, i want to be hidden away from society, i dont want anyone to see me, i want to be taken care of, i want to live in the attic, i want to feel the sun through the window and for the morning frost to kiss my face.
I don't need anyone else but them, they can love me more than anyone else, they are everything i need, they provide everything i need, and in return i belong to them until i die.
Hello Haunted Mansion fandom! I drew some of my favorite happy haunts! I hope you like them as much as I do. I'm very excited to draw more ghosties in the future. But for now, look upon my creation!
Artist Notes Under the Cut:
I drew Hatty first, so that's why he's a little closer up than the rest. I intended for him to look short, and everyone else is supposed to be much taller. But when I drew their heads higher up I didn't quite get it to the same scale. So we'll just say that since Hatty's hunching over all the time he's just sitting up closer to whoever is doing their portraits lol
I based Emily's appearance on both the Tokyo bride and the Beating Heart Bride replica made by brandon.hardy.art on TikTok. The replica bride in particular had this ombre color effect in the hair that I thought made her look really cool and ethereal, so that's why her hair looks like that. I drew her expression to be kinda spaced out here, but I imagine Emily to be a more bubbly character. So I thought giving her a slightly more colorful look would suit her.
Hatty might be my favorite, but Ghost Host was definitely the most fun to draw. Maybe because I'm just used to drawing skinny guys lol. He has a very unique nose shape I've never drawn before, and I like the swooping motions I can do with his noose.
After reading the Ghost Gallery, I got the impression that Ezra was a sleazy, flirty type of character. He feels like the kind of guy to make a total fool of himself because he thinks he has rizz when he really doesn't. So I tried my best to convey that with his expression. I wanted to him to look like he's trying to rizz you up to convince you to let him follow you home XD
Since Hatty and Ezra use the same head mold, I wanted to make sure they looked distinctly different from each other. I notice in a lot of official art that Ezra's hair tends to look square (if they give him any hair at all lol). So I gave Hatty longer hair while Ezra's is shorter and puffier. I also gave them different eyes, with Ezra's being inspired by how @ whatwouldwaltdo would draw him in their old asks.
Very glad I colored this digitally. Normally I'm a traditional artist and I did the sketch for this piece traditionally. But I wouldn't have been able to give them the "ghostly glow" if I had gone the traditional route, and I think it looks really good on them.
