Description
Last project from one of my classes was design/illustrate a character. I got 'mcdead fall vampire assassin'. Wanted to do an Asian inspired vampire hunter, but my teach was all like PUT SOME STAKES IN THAR AND ADD A GIANT ASS CROSS ON HER KIMONO. And I was like.... no. So here's a compromise. Ish. She's all-purpose vampire hunter, heh.
European/Western and Asian/Eastern vampires differ greatly. A lot of the mainstream myths of killing a vamp with stakes or them being affected by crosses are not found in Eastern myths due to the fact that cross/stakes/holy water stems from Christianity.
Western vamps are pussies. You want real badass vampires, look to eastern myths. FETUS SUCKERS.
I think my people are getting better.

Long overdue thanks for the comment. Yeah, I see that the bg can do with some colors, brown areas just look to dead compared to the rest of the color palette. Thanks again!

That is such a cool idea! It came out really well, I like her outfit (and of course the swords) The tree in the background looks cool too, and the bats are a nice touch, good way to blend both eastern and western traditions. Nicely done

Thanks. Yeah, I'm really digging playing with the motiffs of different cultures lately. Might do some more with her.
