I wanted the Bride and the Monster to hit it off and instantly fall in love. We all did. It just didn't work out.
And really, why should it? They didn't know each other at all. They only shared a few moments of screen time. And maybe they have nothing in common besides being reanimated corpses. The Bride was brand new to the world and hadn't even been given time to get to know herself. No wonder she wasn't ready for a relationship. The odds were stacked against them.
I've seen a lot of really sweet images depicting the Bride and the Monster as a loving couple and while I enjoy that beautiful fairytale of a re-imagined ending to the film, I'm offering this image as an alternative alternate ending.
The Bride realizes that she isn't ready to settle down. She adopts some ghost cats and happily acclimates to her role as an undead cat lady. At least for now. Maybe some day she will be ready for a relationship, but in the mean time she is quite content to spend her days with her spooky pets.

I don't think - eh, well, I guess this is fanart, but I don't know of what. But I love it. I really love the way you think as well. The story (musings might be a better word?) itself is nice, and so is the art, but together, they make something even better. The bride seems to be very content, and fits the story excellently. She's someone who is happy about where she is in life, but do not mind if things change. I think the cats' design is really, really sweet, simple, yet clever. The way you placed the elements on the painting makes me think of a portrait with a frame, but with nothing in the middle, it fits the dark style neatly. And excellent anatomy for cartoony creatures and people alike 
I really adore your art.
How do you come up with these stories? Do you start out with an idea, or is it the story that comes to life while you paint? Or are the two just linked and one won't come without the other?
