Description I watched "Let the Right One In" for the second time today and just couldn't shake the urge to draw Lina as Eli. I love her androgynous look and round nose.

Once again, awesome blood brushes from

The way the details are so exaggerated almost makes it look like a charicature! It really stands out from the other pieces I've seen of Eli. Wonderful!

Thanks! I was kind of going for a caricaturized/cartoonized (making up words over here!) version of her

I absolutely LOVE this. The second I saw it after typing in Let the Right one In it kind of took my breath away. I have never seen such an awesome stylized recreation of a character from a movie. ♥

darman1817 [2010-07-28 04:00:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it would have been awesome if they had used Lina and Kare for the American version. They would just have to be 14 instead of 12.

I have lots of LTROI fan art, but always come back to yours. It is the best of them all!

Thanks! I love checking out all the LTROI fanart - everyone has their own interpretations. I'll be curious to see how people respond to the English version.

This is a fantastic piece! Well done. (I am a huge fan of the film LTROI, can't stop drawing the characters from it.)
The little touch of colour really brings this to image of Eli/Lina life.
Nice...

Cool! I like how she blends into the white background. Sort of like snow.

And those eyes are dead on.

I love that expression on her face. If you read the book, you'll know why eli has an angrogynous look.

chrismickens In reply to ca1cifer [2009-11-17 02:19:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! You're right, you can't really appreciate the awesomeness of the casting until you read the book. I was surprised at how much darker the book is than the movie.

Wasn't she!? Best casting choice ever, hands down. I just finished reading the book and found the movie to be a very appropriate adaptation, but I'm kind of scared to see what they're going to do to it for the American market *_*

Nice! My laptop has got cancer or something, it keeps shutting itself down... And my OLD tablet sucks, I really need a new one. But they're soooo expensive! The one I've got is like 25cm X 30 cm or something, it's huge, but not working. DAMN. I think I'm gonna get a small wacom or something. I really want one of the Intuos ones.

So I've started painting shoes instead - it's great fun
