Yvonne DeCarlo as Lily Munster

In time for Halloween 2011 (and beyond):
Yvonne De Carlo as Lily Munster

The Munsters was yet another one of my favorite shows as a kid.

I liked all the characters, but I think my favorite was Spot (the dragon thing that lived under the stairs). I always thought Lily was cool, too.

I always got a kick out of the niece, Marilyn (who was a very pretty lady), who could never get any dates because all her suitors were scared to death of her creepy family, but her creepy family always thought she couldn't get dates because she was too homely-looking.

That show still has one of the catchiest theme songs ever (The Munsters -intro with theme song on You Tube).

Media: Illustrator CS4.

Tools/ Features used in Illustrator:
Sprayer symbol tool (for stars in background); art brush (for texture in bat wings); blur (for moon and star glow); clipping masks; transparency panel; pathfinder (divide)

I did not use gradient mesh for this, because I wanted to go old school with it (aside from the use of gaussian blur for the moon glow etc).
