Description Well this fanart is long overdue!! I'm on the 10th book of this series, and so far it's been a fun read. These books aren't the best quality; I think there's way too much going on sometimes in the plot, and if you've read any of them, you'll know what i'm getting at! They're strangely addictive though.

So here we have Anita Blake, Jean-Claude and Richard; the triumvate. Richard's being a bitch in the books right now, so he doesn't really belong with them anymore I guess, but he is part of their little menage-a-trois so meh. I kind of drew this picture a while ago, when in the books things were still cool between him and Anita. JC is awesome XD

The background for this picture is now my favourite part. The traditional version of it looks really crappy - I just coloured the background with red pencil crayon, varying in darkness around the characters. It looks really messy and so I experimented in PS10 and fixed it. I overlayed a Charcoal filter over the pencil crayon, and then I brushed it up with a 300pi brush and then added the darker bits in the corners. I'm definitely gonna try and imitate that in the original version; shouldn't be too hard..

I concur. After a while, it's the same old "well, who's she gonna have sex with this time?" plot.

I like your Jean-Claude, though on this pic he looks like a girl a little bit.

Well, he's supposed to look like a girl. Anita often describes that the only thing saving him from looking like a woman is his eyebrows.. or it's the cheekbones.

His cheekbones According to the books, he definitely looks like a male, though he is beautiful and not handsome. "You would never mistake him for anything other than male." (Burnt Offerings)

it is a very complex series >< im currently reading skin trade(( aka like 17th book)) but i've heard that she's planning on simplifying things in the books with each new book 'solving' one of Anita's problems and then the series can come to a natural end >< its a very long series which normally im cool with but yes its getting ridiculously complicated

Yeah.. like, I'm halfway into Cerulean Sins and it's just... way too many characters, and Anita just keeps adding to her status.. like, Legendary-Master-Necromancer-Succubus-Wereleapard? I mean come ON. So friggen complicated.
