Description
You know when you get an idea for a character and you just want to draw them: well here is one of those cases right here. I have no name: I have very little backstory, hell I don't know much about her powers. All I know is if I am ever able I would enjoy making her a character in my side story for Full Moon High (which I will reiterate was made by Stoneman85).The backstory I do have is that this girl is the daughter of the Aztec Vampire Lord that my other OC Gabriel Amell fought and killed in battle. In that act she lost everything: her power and prestige as her families coven was dismantled by the other Vampire Kings to prevent her fathers brazen attempts to destroy the world from happening again. The Vampire herself is quite young being only 70 years old and is the last of her fathers blood line (the rest being killed). She took to hiding in the human world and enjoys playing with mortal heads: she is flirty, seductive and extremely perceptive, and prone to being arrogant and looking down on others: however she does care for people and is not heartless, but has a tendency to place herself before others. She is slightly resentful over having her family torn apart and by both her father and Gabriel's actions. As such when she discovers the identity of Gabriel's children she tries to hunt them down: leading to her getting on the wrong side of an elvish priest and getting her powers sealed away.
The Vampire herself has 3 forms
Her first form: her normal one is the middle one: she is quite tall, good looking and very busty (something she takes pride in) resulting in her being quite vain, she is quite strong in this form.
Her 2nd form: the one on the left is the result of the Elivish priest who annoyed with her selfish actions seals away her powers in an attempt to teach her a lesson about humility, regressing her to an earlier stage in life. She is as weak as a human in this form although does gain protection to sunlight. She hates her form finding it plain and boring and dislikes being locked in it. There are only two ways to release her: one is when she or someone she cares for is in danger and the seal will break, another is at the permission of the elvish priest who sometimes lets her 'be herself' when she has been on good behaviour.
Her 3rd form: The one on the right and her true form: in it she is incredible strong and has the ability to fly with her wings (a notable trait of her bloodline) I am not sure exactly what her abilities shall be: I am thinking of making her a Blood Knight, a form of protective warrior vampire.
Well feel free to offer suggestions on anything story: character backstory etc. as I am unsure on how to use her beyond she will be an antagonist who will be become a reluctant ally.
Also don't touch her scarf Xp

Hey 
I saw you leaving and in-depth comment on someone else's work and thought I'd return the favor, even though it wasn't my art you commented on
I think her character sounds really well-fitting for a vampire, maybe a little bit cliché, but since she isn't the protagonist of the story I guess you can't go wrong with some clichés 
On to the design:
I think the long hair goes really well with her being a seductive vampire character (I have a rather similar looking vampire character as well, as long as we keep it to hair and body type), so I like that quite a lot^^
Giving her 3 different forms adds something less cliché and more creative, what I really like. It makes her unique in a way, and not some random vampire chick.
For her 2nd form (I'll call it 'human form'), I think it's nice that you added some sunglasses, because it indicates that she is a character who isn't fond of sunlight, even though she is immune to it in her human form -what leads straight to my next point: I'm not sure if it really makes sense for her to wear sunglasses in her normal form, since she can't stand sunlight in that form anyway, right? So I guess she would be outside only during the night, and then it wouldn't really be necessary to wear sunglasses. Feel free to correct me if I got this wrong!
For the drawing part, I think you did a good job, but if you really want to push your character designs, I'd suggest to study a lot of anatomy. Having a better understanding of anatomy will help you a lot with more convincing designs, since the body is the base on which you add all the closing and hair and stuff
There are some really good (free) resources online to do that. A really good start would be proko on youtube, (or like any other drawing channel that you feel is helpful to you) and there are also some really good websites with nude photos to use as reference
For references, I'd especially recommend artists.pixelovely.com, but there are more that I could send you, if you are interested
I know it's a bit of a lame tip, but it really works wonders, and you basically can never study enough anatomy 
I hope my comment was a bit helpful, and I wish you a really nice day!

I still like coming back to this comment.
Once again thank you ^^

You are very welcome
How have things been going?
Sorry I took so long to reply, I haven't been online here in forever ^^"

Well my art has been slowly improving, if you want to check out my new work, but I have been drawing or producing less work due to the time it takes to get it done is more consuming. Also been doing a lot of writing as well
Still I don't mind it took you a long time, what matters is your speech really gives me motivation and still encourages me to give good feedback: even if my lack of feedback is jading. ^^'
Still I have some friends who give honest replies so its all good

That's good to hear! It's understandable that you are producing less though, I did the same. Getting a bit quicker again nowadays, but still, if one wants to produce high quality, it always takes a lot of time. If you need further aisstance with your studies, I just learned about this online classes by Marc Brunet that sounds really amazing. cubebrush.co/mb/products/mmfwy… I have bought tutorials from him before and always thought they were really good quality, so I'm going to give it a try. The first lesson came online today, and today also is the last day of a huge sale for that class. It's still a lot of money though, I just hought I'd mentiion it since it's on sale right now. However, a good free resource to learn from is sycra on youtube. I haven't watched his recent videos, but his old ones always were really helpful. Istebrak is great as well, even though most of the content there is really repetetive - it's the best place to go for learning to properly paint though, since she focuses a lot on form studies and painting the human face. She hosts free lessons 2times a week, and offers free video critiques to members of the google+ community.
I'm glad my comment still motivates you. Giving good feedback never is easy, all that matters is that you try! I'm sure you're doing a good job!^^
That always is worth a lot^^ I'm happy fpr you you have such good friends!
I don't really have the time to write a full critique for you right now, but I just had a quick look at your gallery, and this one
caught my eye. Since I mentioned Istebrak earlier I thought this video youtu.be/NH6zB0xxWj8 could be helpful to you

Oh my god you have made me so happy!
I do love in-depth comments and what you have done for me is so lovely and I am deeply touched
I do agree she does cross some clichés, but I am glad you can tell they are only minor, I always try to base my characters on establishes tropes as to give them a solid grounding and archetype, but I never try to let it define them. Also thanks for the compliment on the three forms, I would like to say that's original but I saw it somewhere a long time ago... but my memory escapes me where that was.
Also in the universe she is based in Vampires can go out in daylight but its extremely uncomfortable and severely weakens them, however it affects stronger vampires (like her) less so. Also she is a fashion victim so that's one other reasons she would wear sunglasses
And you are right I should do character anatomy, and I will take a look. But then again I do not want to be constrained by a very photo realistic design, I like cartoony and exaggerated (if we subtle details). But at times I have used reference art to help my drawing, but you are right I need to step it up to the next level. Still clothing remains a difficult thing at time and my hair is sometimes hit or miss.
However I AM SO HAPPY YOU COMMENTED, I AM SO TOUCHED YOU TOOK NOTE OF MY COMMENT, AND YOUR ART IS BEAUTIFUL TO BOOT!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
