Description Jack Rye and Sheridan are my original characters. Yay
Violet the daywalker was created by Prof Nekko.

Here we have a demonstration of a commission piece based on a request given to me by Prof Nekko.
I asked a series of question to take extra measures that would be more accurate as to what he envisioned.

The initial request was the following:
β€œAnyways I'll think I'll have you draw a color anime version of my OC Violet (most details on physical structure are here [link] ) as for dress on her, she wears a black cape, but the rest I'll leave to your artistic inginuity (though she doesn't go naked under the cape).

As for her action, she could be selling Sherri a little tool to help her win over Jack's attention to her feelings (I can't really decide, maybe a book titled "how to win over an oblivious male" or something along those lines) She's holding the object in her left hand, but scratching Sherri's chin with the right, giving a rather wicked smile showing off her fangs, and asking "And how would you like to pay for this?"

as for the background, Violet's shop would suffice (read the bio for a little bit in and you have a general idea of what the shop would look like)

Hope you like it Nekko

Right, onto the art comments.

Here we have Violet, a short tempered daywalking vampire that burns entire cities to the ground, locks up the tastiest victims in her cellar for later feeding, and runs a shop that sells crazy goods.

When thinking about her shop I stuck myself in the crafty predator's shoes. If I were a vampire who ran a shop how would I run it? First, no lights in the shop; Vampires can easily see in the dark while most people can't, giving her a nice advantage, particularly during the night; plus, it's fun for people to feel uneasy in the dark.

Secondly, almost all of her goods would either come from victims she's killed or victims she keeps locked up in her cellar until they die. So in the image we have an Axe of Ice, a Kris of endless poison and other stuff that she collected from daring adventurers. Jack seems to have stumbled across a holy spell book and holy water from a priest that was foolish enough to think he could slay Violet. I very well couldn't show all the store in a single frame, but it’s LOADED with all sorts of stuff, and if an axe of freezing is right on the wall, imagine what's behind the counter. (I personally doubt Violet would even bother with any of that stuff when she has both her dark powers and fire magic at her disposal.)

To show that Violet can do just fine in the day, I made a point to have the window open and have the light land on her. It also hints towards the darkness of her shop, so imagine coming into the place at night ha ha.

When designing Violet herself I got some specific instructions from Pro Nekko, which only helps me get more accurate to what he wants. I was permitted to design her clothes under her cape. I wanted to combine the three elements of a sorceress, and a sexy van Helsing lady dress together. Her cape has a hood to lay low and inconspicuous during travels, but underneath is a full bodied woman that could drop the guard of her prey. Originally the dress was going to be a solid dark purple, but when Prof Nekko said he wanted red lipstick, I decided to change the purple to more of a burgundy/mauve.
Her eyes were another matter. I give kudos to Prof Nekko for the green eyes; they really stand out on her character in a good way. For her hair I made the highlights a crimson red, kind of hinting towards bloodstained hair that will never wash out from her countless victims.

We have Sheridan blushing at the fact that violet easily noticed her affection for Jack. Rye himself is completely oblivious and delving into older versions of holy texts.
Hope you guys like it as I enjoyed creating it.

Her creator dubber her as a daywalker, which pretty much translates into a vampire that can go out into the day.

Awesome as always!! I know this may be minuscule but who is responsible for the design of the clasp on her cape? I absolutely love it....... mind you I'm over tired while saying this but it's extremely intriguing! It makes me want the cape ^ ^; Also I think I'll trade in that stick now and get myself a vibropick! Smile every time I see that thing. It's just so nifty! you should show the 3d version of it on here it's awesome!

BUT enough side tracking sorry this is so long.I especially like the expression, and the small details like the thing around Sheris waist. It defiantly looks like it's something that belongs to Jack which adds to the whole looking out for each other bit. I also like the evidence of blood bit very neat! I could go on but this post is getting way to long so I'll leave it at that XP good work~!

I'm glad that you like.
And yup, I designed all of violets attire, shop and what not. I didn't create the Violet character, just her clothes.

Lol more then like I was half tempted to make it but I think people might look at me a little oddly if I started running around in a cloak

That's some nice details you put in there. I've already got a strong feeling of Violet's character just by looking at her here...

Good stuff man.

Shouhda In reply to ShineTheFairy [2009-06-29 21:09:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, I was actually very far off of what the character is really like according to the creator; so I guess this is simply my take on the character.

ShineTheFairy In reply to Shouhda [2009-06-29 21:59:53 +0000 UTC]

So she's quite different in the creator's view... and after all those questions... hmm. Oh well, still looks good.
