Artist's Comments

More of the project that I'm doing that's called the Grateful Dead (not to be confused with the band, sorry). Based off an old myth that if you put a soul to rest, the soul will then guard you as a thanks. There's a lot of them folks here, and a lot of them dead folks, so let's begin!



From left to right:



Dusky - Little spunky girl who hates being told how freaking short she is, and would rather bash out your kneecaps than bake brownies with you.

July - The ghost attatched to Dusky, who was tragically shot four times during a cattle run. He's an honest man, and I assure you, he knows how to 'quit you'.

Yvonne - Grease monkey! A little timid but a good girl who has her head in mechanics instead of the clouds.

Suzannah - Guardian of Yvonne, Suzannah is a southern belle who, very unfortunately, passed away due to causes such as the extreme heat and a far too tight corset.

Charley - A fantastic, eccentric person who overall makes the best diary entries ever in the form of very elementary type drawings. She can dance too.

Bastien - Loosely considered the guardian to Charley, Bastien is a French philosopher during the times of the French Revolution that was beheaded, quite obviously. Snooty and full of wit, his tongue is about as sharp as the blade that severed his head.

Knox - The skirt chasing circus monkey.

Marisol - Also a circus performer, it was probably fate that lead her to being the guardian of another of her kind. Marisol tragically fell from the tightrope during a performance, traumatizing several children and families as well as ending her own life.

Lucy - A young girl that's a little naive but hopeful to be a good friend, Lucy generally means well and can't stop thinking about boys.

Grayson - Also young and naive, Grayson is the guardian of Lucy, coming from the Victorian times. Unfortunately for her, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was struck with lightning and given a permanent snazzy hairdo to last her in her afterlife.



And that's all of them! Hope you enjoy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />
