Though Sasha Vykos is vile, evil... thing, this art is amazing. What i can say, i like perverted beautiful things, you know opposite things united in one, some kind of (evil) dis/harmony or something, words can't describe it.

I'm overwhelmed.

Do you realize what you've done with this painting? You've created what is only the third unique and, above all, accurate depiction of Vykos in the entire 20 year history of White Wolf's vampire game line. Until now, only two previous artists ever incorporated both essential qualities of Vykos' description: monster and the androgynous alien beauty. Joshua Gabriel Timbrook produced the first and what remains the definitive depiction. Mark Jackson incorporated many of the visual elements established by Timbrook into a more alien, more androgynous, and undoubtedly more sinister vision.

After them, there have been easily half a dozen artists who've tackled the character. The best of their artistic efforts were simply further depictions of Vykos as already established either by Timbrook or Jackson. None of them ever went any further. Instead, they followed what had already been done. In those artists' defense, at least their lack of innovation didn't degrade the character into nothing but a monster. When other artists, some of them quite famous, did create something new that has been the inevitable and tragic result. John Van Fleet sees Vykos as looking suspiciously like The Creature From The Black Lagoon with the facial barbels of a catfish. His Vykos is not only physically ugly but also a messy, slovenly drunkard, sucking blood off his fingers, the front of his shirt heavily stained with spillage from his cup. John Bolton, probably the most famous artist ever to approach the character, went even further. Vykos through Bolton's eyes is a grotesque horror. Bolton produced several different depictions, none of them flattering. There is nothing even remotely beautiful his Vykos. At his tamest, Bolton's vision is of an ugly green skin man covered with Van Fleet-style catfish barbels. At his most fevered, Bolton created a spined, sexually perverse nightmare.

Hopefully I haven't taxed your patience in describing the confused, contradictory and often unpleasant body of existing work that precedes yours. It seems necessary, though, in order to fully appreciate the sheer success of your painting! You've succeeded in portraying both the beauty and the monster. Your Vykos is undoubtedly both! Its cheeks and nose are distinctly boyish and yet it has feminine eyes, mouth and jawline. Narrowing one's focus to its face, your Vykos is a boyishly beautiful girl or a girlishly beautiful boy. That illusion vanishes the moment the viewer look at Vykos from the neck up. Boys and girls aren't normally bald, nor do they have bat-like ears and a crest of horns. Even while including such clearly non-human elements, there's a sense of refinement to them. The horns and ears have streamlined quality to them, a sense of proportion and delicacy.

That same harmony between the beautiful, the alien, and the monstrous carries through the rest of the figure. The torso, hips and buttocks are feminine and petite. You deserve additional congratulations in paying attention to the later descriptions of Vykos where it supposedly did develop female breasts for itself. At the same time, the definition of the visible arm, while graceful, seems more in keeping with a masculine body. Again, there's an unmistakable androgyny, one that transcends anything human through the addition of a prominent set of spinal ridges.

Your Vykos is magnficent. It's something new and yet new in a good way. For those of us who are fans of White Wolf and of Tzimisce in particular, finding your art is a wonderfully, even delicously refreshing experience. You truly are a treasure: an artist who possesses the vision to create a vision that is entirely your own without becoming overwhelmed by that vision to the point of obscuring or even obliterating important aspects present in an incredibly complex character.
