Description This was intended as my submission for valentine, but I was late...as usual.
I usually don't like to explain my works and prefer that everyone has an own view, but in this case I'd like to add something.
This image is about love, but not the commercial look at love, more the real one.
Two levels of interpretation, the first one is direct and narrative, and can rappresent a vampire with his victim, and that's it.
But If you'd like to know and view more, it also speaks about the relationship between man and woman, she's surrendering but there's the desire of escape in her (feathers), he's possesing but without being able to move...roots.
And there's even more.
Love is poison. (As Alice Cooper said )


Painted in photoshop, and find it very suitable for this kind of bigger works in which my usual technique is a bit too long and difficult.
Some airbrushing, for a change(I'm under the candy spell technique...)
Hope you like it.

Also a close up: [link]

Edited: the description.

The expression of fear and curiosity in his face is quite astounding. He seems afraid of the morning sun yet hesitant to leave, you can almost feel the slender hand on her shoulder, the genteelest touch.

Very amusing.

Her complete abandonment is thrilling,
She has given him her life, and you can see it so clearly. I love that you have him rapped around her, engulfing her,consuming her beauty before her heart.

A good flowing of colours in the scene, all of them predawn, pale colours, very fitting with the setting.

Another job well done, lovely.

Thank you for posting such a beautifull piece,
you are a model for me.

I wish to watch your work, so that I may learn....

By the way..I love to drink poison from time to time, the only problem is that life seems filled more with coca cola...

Thanks!
I really love her in the movie, maybe because she rappresents for me an icon of beauty, expecially in the movie, her features often follow me in my drawings.

What an interesting concept! You obviously put a lot of thought into this one. And on a lesser not, I love the woman's hair.

You know I enjoy painting hair
I'm happy of the colours that came out with this, even if I still something is missing. Maybe I'll improve in that techniqe, maybe that's what is missing
Thank you Jackie!
