Description
Commission for ~LafaietteThe two generation of vampires, Janos, the ancient, and Vorador, his 'child'.
Janos was born to be a mighty and powerful creature (who nkows that the ancients were before the curse: elves or angels, but they were far above humans with wisdom and nobility)
Janos is a philosopher character, he rather tries to understand the minds of the people around him than grabbing a weapon against them.
No tracing or altering of this image is allowed!
Janos:
"At the time of the Binding, nine guardians were called to serve the Pillars. And I was summoned as the tenth guardian - the keeper of the Reaver, the weapon of our salvation.
As our race dwindled, the humans prospered. I have watched, over the centuries, as our history faded into myth, and finally receded altogether.
The humans have forgotten us entirely, and claimed the Pillars for themselves - wholly ignorant of their true purpose.
To them, I am merely a devil; the origin of their vampire ' plague '.
With their vampire purge, the members of the Circle have assaulted the very architects of the Pillars they are sworn to protect. With every vampire they kill, the humans are slitting their own throats.
They have this foolish notion that destroying me will somehow topple our entire bloodline.
They fear what they don't understand; and they despise what they fear.
But no - I do not hate them. They don't understand what they're doing.
They are simply unenlightened... and vulnerable to manipulation. "
Vorador is quite the opposite, he hardly can forgive if he feels offended, and rather loves to solve arguments with a sword. Unlike Janos, Vorador didn't even want to understand the minds of his enemies, and knows no mercy to them. He belongs to the second generation of vampires, he used to be a human in the ancient times when humans respected the vampires and accepted their wisdom.
He was turned into a vampire by Janos. Even if he hates to reveal his emotions, he visibly feels respect towards his sire.
I wanted to show the hyerarchy between the two characters with placing Janos onto a stairstep to make him look taller than Vorador, and wanted to show the differences of their personalities with their face expression.
Notice for dummies: these characters are not a couple and there's nothing unsuitable relationship between them. I know it is obvious, but I had to add this according to negative experiences.

Absolutely awesome. I really like Vorador's smirk and Janos' somewhat "holy" pose.

Thank you, I'm glad you like. Vorador is a confident guy, and you're right about Janos he was too much of a philosopher angel type of character than a vampire, I kept him like that on this drawing.

I've seen only a few episodes of Star Trek long ago (don't know which season was it) but didn't became it's fan. That must be a coincidental similarity with Janos I guess

Imádom ezt a műved, főleg ahogy Voradort ábrázoltad. Annak idején én is megpróbálkoztam vele, a tiéd nagyon jó lett!

Köszi! Nekem eredetileg meg se fordult volna a fejemben, hogy egyszerre ábrázoljam a két karaktert. Eredetileg egy ölelkezős kompozíciót kértek tőlem, de tőlem távol áll minden, ami félreérthető vagy teljesen ellentmond a szereplők személyiségének.
Janos meg tud érteni minden élőlényt, főleg akiket ő kreált, és Vorador tiszteli is Janost, de egyikük sem egy ölelkezős tí.pus. (Vorador legfeljebb a szeretőit ölelgeti )

Thank you so much Making the two of them into one composition was not easy, but was fun to keep them in character as they look like the opposites of each other in personality.

Janos's wings was not the easiest to draw as I didn't wanted to draw detailed feathers, but wanted it to look realistic.

KainTheVampireLord In reply to jmsnooks [2009-06-10 21:54:48 +0000 UTC]
Thank you!
So it's visible it is not the usual drawing paper It was drawn on a transparent paper that's used for building's plans, I like it so much because flipping it to it's reverse clearly shows the mistakes on the drawing that should be fixed, and I can use more separate layers of it for the background and other stuff. I'm using it for sketching and lesser pencil works. (serious and much more detailed drawings are made on normal drawing paper of course )

Is the paper really that dark or do you darken it when you scan it?

KainTheVampireLord In reply to jmsnooks [2009-06-12 20:58:40 +0000 UTC]
I'm usually darkening the images when scanning to strengthen the contrasts on the pencil work, but on this one I reduced the brightness to zero as this drawing is A3 size, and had to get scanned in two parts. It was clearly visible where the two pieces were pasted together when it was scanned with the brightness on.

jmsnooks In reply to KainTheVampireLord [2009-06-15 06:20:52 +0000 UTC]
Ah. I thought you were probably darkening your stuff but now I know. Interesting choice of paper.

KainTheVampireLord In reply to jmsnooks [2009-06-17 14:54:48 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, this paper is really unsuitable for serious work, but the best choice for sketches, and transparency is a big help too to fix mistakes by flipping it to it's reverse.
Pencil works looks grey and shiny in most cases when scanning them without manip.

vorador is looking very cocky, the sexy-beast
love the pencil-technique
on closer look, vorador doesn't look as if he has any legs to his pants like he's wearing a medievil leather diaper
...then again he is old isn't he
vorador: I'M NOT THAT OLD!!!
*squints at the notice* "notice for dummies" oh! it's for me
....blah, blah, blah, yadda, yakka...GAH!!
i'm going to implay SEXUAL refrence to these two!!
janos: what??
vorador: huh??
myyrrhn: *smacks 'em both on the forehead*
janos: *post-it note covering face - reads "i love him" <--*
vorador: *post-it note stuck to face (also trapping part of his ear) - reads "i fuck him" -->* ...GRRrrh!! *trying to free his poor ear*

Hahha all Vorry needs is a bunch of his 'brides' around him.
He always has his belt too low on the screenshots, but I placed it more upper around his waist. I needed that weird cloth too, the fact is although I love to draw the crotch-area for Kain, I don't really feel it suitable for Vorry
Perhaps he's really old enough to wear diapers
His brides could tell it.
Aaahhh, I suspected you'll be happy for the notice
Ah yes, they're obviously fucking each other all day *rolling eyes at weird ppl*
As some people already associates even a single character with perversion, two characters on the same picture is a real hard porn to them

myyrrhn In reply to KainTheVampireLord [2009-06-02 09:14:55 +0000 UTC]
the reason his belt was too low, is so it can be easily accessed by his brides (or they just tug it down instead
)
vorador's crotch isn't suitable!!! vorador's not going to like that
very hard
what happened to Jewel-Reaver? *sorry to be nosy* but i've never chatted to her but i have seen her works floating around, and everyone's saying she's gone but what did she die off? old age?

Hahhahha his harem surely always had their hands in his pants, perhaps it'd be easier to walk around naked (nooooo, don't want to imagine that!!!! *freaks* )
No, you're not nosy, she never made a secret of her health problems, she had sickle cell disease, and it really made me upset when I googled it. Ppl can live to their fifties with it, but she was only 29. She always had health problems and spent a lot of time in hospitals since I knew her. She had a clot in her lungs last year, and had to take meds on it that turned to cause kidney rejections at her, she was so scared of this, but it was a clot again that taken her. Her brother told me on msn what happened. I don't know if she expected this to come, but she changed so much since I met her, she was too many times in a bad mood, it was showing on her pictures too. I helped her with drawing the sketches for her bigger LoK projects, and her portrait for LoKClan becasue she was unable to draw stuff like that since a year, but she never complained whenever I asked how she was.

Thank you!
True, Janos didn't looked powerful, and even appeared to be enjoying self-sacrifise in the series. He was quite different from the warrior ancients on the murals.
At least he was powerful on the 'Vorador's creation' mural, I had that image in mind when I drawn him.
