Description
Companion to Carpathian FemaleFirst serious project of 2009.
Anyway, this is based on Christine Feehan's: The Dark Series. So if you've read the series before you'll probably get the title, with the picture a lot better.
The male in the picture is made up realistically, though I used some references. And for those that read the book series mentioned above, you'll probably like this music video that shows potiential faces for each of the characters. coughsexymenalertcough
I was rewatching it one day and figure why not make my own version of one of the characters. I did use some of the males in the vid as reference. So at first I had in mind Lucian or Gabriel the Dark Twins but it actually looks like it could be a typical Caparthian male look, considering most of the males in the book look like this give or take a few who don't. One I can think of are the Golden Twins: Aidan and Julian.
And for those of you who haven't read the series and have no idea what I just talked about, just think of him as a hot European male..... sophicated Old World astrociat(sp?) if you want.
Anyhoo, enough talk....

I love this series ^^
There are differences in the characters though, hair color, but mostly I think it was in their eyes that changed them.
Nice rendition I'm glad someone on DA attempted to draw something. I didn't really find any concepts of the characters on here.

great work! love the expression, amazing shading, and the eyes rock! u did such a great job with the shading, i seriously can't get over it. all the blending. haha, u did a spectacular job. amazing realism-type drawing. although, you could've given him a bit of a forehead, but that's minor. the detail in the hair is also awesome. it's great!!

I've been kinda playing around with the forehead area. Though now if I try to play with it I feel like throwing my computer. Seriously.......
But thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like some of it.
