Description Ooooooh boy!  I wanted to be done with this image 2 days ago but......the details, I'm an addict to details :3  Anyway, this is my contest piece entry for contest.  This was an enjoyable piece for me to make but the skin on this took the longest amount of time to watercolor because I wanted to make her look dead as a vampire but not too corpse looking with some flesh tones on her.  Plus, I chose to draw her because, she's a red-head, and a vampire....win win in my book!  Anyway, hope everyone enjoys it and I hope I'm just in time to get this into the contest before the deadline.  This was done in all watercolor~    And a big thanks to for hosting the contest, I had fun~

Thank you~  I'm glad you like it!  This piece won first place in the contest and I was very excited with how the final result turned out with the watercoloring.  Like I said in the description, the hardest part was her skin in watercolor.  Trying to make it look alive and dead but not too blue at the same time.  3rd perspective was easy, I guess you could say those classes we took in architecture and interior design college paid off XD  Well that and the fact that I have self taught myself a few things thanks to the books I picked up at stores~

Oh my god o.o The detail in this piece is absolutely stunning! I love how she goes from being solid to disappearing via bats! It' awesome! I don't know if there is anything that can be said that hasn't been said already! This looks beautiful!

Awww thanks~  I'm happy you approve, and I'm pretty proud of how this picture looks as well!  Heck in vampire movies, I always loved that move that they can do when they disappear and reappear in a cloud of bats~    Such a cool move!

This is amazing. O.O The details... I can't even begin to imagine how long it took and how much thought when into this. I do find it interesting how the skin was the part that took the longest in relation to all the detail around it. Woweee, it definitely paid off. Good luck with the contest! I wish you all the luck.

Rozen-Guarde In reply to cece61998 [2016-07-24 05:34:27 +0000 UTC]

Awww thanks~  Yeah the skin took the longest because I was trying to make sure the skin looked dead like a vampire, but also not blue or too rotting like.  She is still a vampire so I had to make sure she had an ethereal beauty about her skin but still look like the undead.  Yeah the details actually did pay off.  The piece won 1st place.  I was really surprised and flattered because I liked the semi-realism picture of Margerith that someone else did in the contest  Glad you liked it and I'm happy everyone else liked it as well~

Whoaaaaa~ This won first place instantly, right? Everying in this is incredibly flawless! 0v0  I'm especially blown away by the background- you were really able to nail the sense of scale and grandeur that you see in gothic architecture in a way that makes the character herself seem all the more charismatic and imposing!  

I might have to pick your brain about interior perspective sometime if that is alright... >v<''

Rozen-Guarde In reply to MissPeridot [2016-07-17 09:11:27 +0000 UTC]

Aww thanks~  And also, I heard the judges say that the final decision of the pieces was hard to choose from and I can see why.  You are free to take a look at the other contest pieces as well.  vampiresiberian.deviantart.com…  

Awww thanks  I appreciate the compliments~  And sure that's fine if you wish to pick my brain about interior perspective sometime.  I guess you could say my bachelor degree in art and architecture actually paid off in a sense XD  I have gotten better at drawing buildings that's for sure  But anyway, yeah ask away whatever question you have about interior perspectives and I'll see how I can help out

Dude this looks incredible!!
"I'm an addict to details" yeah no kidding. I'm seriously geeking out over how awesome this looks!
I really love the inclusion of the bats and how they form into her dress, that's my jam right there. I love that kind of stuff in vampire pictures, and you nailed it!

Aaawwww thanks~  Yeah I love seeing pictures like that too when vampires form into bats and start flying off all epic like  Heck Castlevania is one of my biggest pieces of inspiration for vampire genre tales.  Glad you like the picture!

Rozen-Guarde In reply to Riversouls [2016-07-03 10:05:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!    I had such fun with this, and the watercolors were a challenge at times, like with her skin or the background or design on the church organ.  Yeah it takes a lot of practice, thin brushes, and good hand control but in the end it was worth it  Glad you like the piece~

Glad you like it~      And I'm happy to have taken part in your contest.  Your characters were really cool and I wanted to do a giant collage image with heavy symbolism depicting the story details you wrote out in your character reference sheets, but I knew I would only have time for one, so I made it a good one with Margerith instead
