Description
I was recently asked by Imagine FX magazine to write an article about painting vampires, and this new artwork will be the main feature. Thanks to everyone who commented on my journal entry about what tips they would like to see featured in the article [link] I found the comments very useful and have answered many of the points in the article.The scene here is a gothic style crypt in which a vampire girl awaits the night and her opportunity to venture out once more into the world, under the cover of darkness.
I enjoyed designing all the gothic style details and bat motifs, and I hope you like it
Thanks also to model `Elandria for the reference and costume that inspired the figure.

I love all the detailing in this piece, being a huge fan of gothic art. Her hair looks amazing, blended very nicely. The tattoo is a very nice touch.

This is so beautiful. The expression is fantastic, just showing slight fangs is mastery at capturing the essence of a character like this one.

Absolutely gorgeous with not just the character in this (and therefor the model for the referance too) but also the use of colours. Yeah I'm a sucker for red and black. But what I'm paying attention to is the hues of blue for the lighting. <3

Oh wow! The fabric, the hair, the ambiance, the bats, the details (like the tomb) are really wonderful! The colors are a good mix of light and dark, just enough so the cheracter have all our attention.

very nice contrast with the grey, and also emphasizing the red which is very vampiric indeed.

Very beautiful piece...
Partly because you used Lanny for reference, and the rest because you are so good at what you do...
Those bats look awesome too...

If I said this was awesome I would get told off for stating the obvious.

How fascinating!
I absolutely adore this piece of art
However, why did you choose to make her sitting on a coffin? I mean, you could have made her sitting in it while it's open or something

Wow! Very life-like (if you can say such a thing about a vampire
