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 the simplicity of certain aspects of the background, the realism of the character.
The ornate coffin, and the bats overhead...fantastic all around.

Your composition, colour schemes and attention to detail are always flawless and this artwork is no exception. I love the subtle treatment of the subject, no buckets of blood and gore, which I personally find stomach churning. This artwork is exquisite and pure magic, definitely one of my favourites from you, which is saying something.

The Queer Eye guys would not be happy with her decor. Love the overall look myself, though, and I really love her hair. I dig unnatural hair colours (I don't know why, I just do).

Thanks Yes, well spotted. She has a heart ring on her finger, heart pendant on her choker, and tribal bat wing heart as her tattoo
