Description Vampire the Masquerade fanart, this time a vampire from the Clan Ventrue.
Ventrue - nickname: Bluebloods
Old-fashioned and tradition-bound, the Ventrue are sophisticated and genteel. They believe in good taste above all else and work hard to make their lives comfortable. They are cautious, honorable, social and elegant Kindred. It was Clan Ventrue that provided the cornerstone of the Camarilla, and it is Clan Ventrue that directs and coaxes the Camarilla in its darkest hours. In ancient nights, Ventrue were chosen from nobles, merchant princes or other wielders of power. In modern times the clan recruits from wealthy "old-money" families, ruthless corporate climbers, and politicians. Even in the modern age, the majority of princes descend from Clan Ventrue. The Ventrue proudly wear the privileges of leadership, and stoically bear its burdens. Thus has it always been; thus shall it always be.

Credits: First of all, a HUGE thanks to Mark; for making this stock for me. I had such a problem finding a suitable stock-pic for a Ventrue, and this was perfect! He seemed to know exactely what I was after You're a dear Mark And for that I made you Prince of London

No, I cannot see me smoking a cigar, it's too crude. If I'd smoke anything it would be an antique pipe.

Wonderful!! once I wrote a fic about Pandora, MariuΒ΄s lover, and placed her on the Toreador family (for the Rose symbol, though I didnΒ΄t know much about that family) and her recent lover, a young Vampire I called Andrei, in the Ventrue family... of course, it was a fatalist story, but I loved it anyways...

Wow this look cool...

tho rarely to Vamps sleep in coffins... and for some reason i see am as a Giovanni, simply because of the long hair, as i always see ventrue as having short hair... i dunno i'm weird...

he also reminds me of the character Antonio bandaras played in Interview with a Vampire... i forget the name now...

Long or short hair? I see the Ventrue as very neat so I don't see why they can't have long hair as long as it's combed back and kept neat. Long hair can be very elegant

dude when I saw this it reminded me of a story idea i just came up with. Though the characters arent the same but the whole coffin, mortician and london look was along the lines of the main character in the story.

HOLY COW PARTS BATMAN! This and what others I have JUST found are fooking gr-r-reat!! I'm in shock here to stumble upon your gallery, complete fooking shock! Holy she-e-e-eight man! You're good!

Love it all, everything, the expressions how you caught the Ventrue's nature, entire ... thing into a single piece!

*excuse me while I pick my jaw off the first floor*

Am insanely jealous and more so that you're actually RPG VTM, my husband and his friends have been stuck on D&D for eons. We've had a long break and so far I don't think it's going to work since the DM is more harder to ple-e-ase then your in-laws.... Wish I could be in a propper and exciting VTM, at least nearly as powerful and alluring as which you capture in your pieces.

(I actually love both VtM and D&D, but I think VtM might own a slightly bigger part of my heart )

Ventrue... I just love going through your pics and seeing all the clans... I thought about being a ventrue... I love the subtle elegent feeling that streems from him, others would probably call that arrogance but ah well ~_______~

woa! what a Man!!! *tickles down the chair*
shinig, the coffin handle&the shoes seem to tell a real man is always spick-and-span! i just admire the softness of the floor, its elegant soft light

but there's one problem to my mind in upper part you use cold light&shades of violet - while in the lower it's warm colours. mmm, they simply don't harmonize with each other

ps and another point to respect is hands. great work

wycked In reply to NegativeAllied [2005-04-21 13:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the nice feedback
But why don't you think the cold and warm colours don't go together? Personally I really like the contrasts they make as I think it makes the pic more interesting to look at I tend to find pics where all the colours match and harmonize a little boring, but that may be just my taste? But more important; -I love the lush warm tones of the wood in the coffin and the floorboards and wanted to keep that. I did however try other colours on the wallcovering behind the man but all the colours clashed too much with both the man and the whole moonlight feel of the room and didn't look good at all. This violet is nicely subdued and draws the attention to the man instead of the background which was my point But I absolutely respect your opinion and thanks so much for commenting
