Description A gothic vampire girl. It felt good doing something dark again. I really enjoyed using the muted tones because most of the time my work is exceptionally vibrant, and it was a lot of fun to exaggerate her anatomy (hate the hand though, I screwed up on the inking) Took about 5 hours with black ink, markers, watercolor, and acrylic. Print may be available soon. I give permission to display this piece in their gallery.

This is beautiful. The water colour background (I presume it's water colour) compliments the image really well.

Thank you! Most of the image is watercolor, but I wanted the background to be full watercolor because it has such a nice effect.

I really like how you did the clothes on her! The birdie on the right side of her shoulder came out really good and you did really well on the rest of this drawing.

Firstborn [2007-05-02 17:01:42 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful!

I love her facial features! They are a light bit exaggerated, but in a attractive way that makes her interesting to the eye. I especially like the way you painted her mouth.

And no matter the hand... True it's a bit long, but the beauty of the rest of the painting weighs that up.

I wish I could draw curls like you do! ^^

WOOT for all the details here! 'specially the shiny thingies on her hair, nice! Hand does bug me a bit, though, but ah well...

Ya, I screwed up the inking on the hand (I was grumpy that night and didn't have much patience. I know, bad idea, but oh well...) Thanks, glad you like the details! This picture was a lot of fun to do.

Lord-Of-The-Guns [2007-05-02 05:50:43 +0000 UTC]

She looks great, her expression and arched back gives her a very dignified and classy appearance. I like the detail you put into it, particularly the lace holding her hair up. Cool stuff.

Thank you! I wanted her to look elegant and classy. The lace in her hair was an afterthought, but I think it works nicely! Thank you for all the kind comments!

Thank you! I just got into watercolors, well at least to a point where I didn't hate them. They are loads of fun. Thanks for stopping by!
