0.0 You are now a drawing role model to me. This is fantastic. From the hair, to the flow it is following, to the eye, and the markings below it, and the shading,I just love every detail of this picture. And I hope to draw like this one day. I am trueley amazed!

I had to find this after I saw a smaller version of it being used on your LJ. The lips are outstanding and the eye is very captivating. <3 I love the way you painted the skin. This piece is so beautiful!

Gorgeous as ever. And yes Anne Rice IS the goddess of vampires. ^.^ The majority of all my vampires follow her prespective of what equals a vampire.
I love this picture. The black hiding most of the face, and the face showing is amazing. He looks kind of sincere, but aswell as utterly evil at the same time. But evil in the since that he enjoys it, but he doesn't abuse it.
Yeah I'm not making any sense, but anyways, I really like the image. I've also noted, that today out of all the days of the year is the day I end up not making any sense to myself. >.>
Anyways! I love this image it is gorgeous and you are an amazing artist.

I've only read the first two vampire books by Ann Rice, and they were awesome, except now I'm reading 'Oueen of the Damned' and it's boring me >.<

Didn't Armand have curly hair? O,o First I thought too he had straight hair but then in the book Rice-sama describes his hair with precision, but it's possible that my friend who convinced me just misunderstood ._. ANYWAY!, really good. *_*

Veilchen In reply to DarkHotaru [2006-06-28 08:17:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah .. I think his hair is quite curlie too

Like this >> [link] ( w )

Unfortunately , I've never done any curlie before T__T All the skecthes with bishie curlie look bad U__U"" so yeah ... that's why his hair is straight.

DarkHotaru In reply to Veilchen [2006-06-28 15:38:35 +0000 UTC]

That's true, bishies never look good with curlie. Γ©_Γ© Btw, who cares, the result's still wonderful. x3

Aneria In reply to DarkHotaru [2006-06-28 17:21:58 +0000 UTC]

Not true. Some bishies look really good with curls. There's this one it's either Russian or German, girl who has a site with a ton of Lewis, Lestat, Armand, basically a ton of fan images of them. She drew Armand with curly hair and made it look good. I'll have to find that link some-where. But yeah. My preception of Armand at first was that he had straight hair, and then later realized it was curly. I love this image, but I think in the book Anne Rice described him as looking a bit younger than all the other charactors. Most of them were sired around their twenties from what I've read. I think Armand might have been sired around 15 or 16. At least, that's what the book implied in my imagination. ^-^' Yeah.

Veilchen In reply to Aneria [2006-06-28 18:59:06 +0000 UTC]

The book said he was seventeen at that time , un. I have the oldie image of Armand I did in my scrap ^^" which I think that one looks way more younger than this >__>" Maybe it's because I tried dark-ish tone in this picture so he looks older than he should be.

Actually , I was trying to say that I'm not good with drawing curlie hair ... not that bishies with curlies are not smexy T w T" Bad me , didn't make it clear..
