Description
Many thanks for the DD, all the comments and/or faves were greatly appreciatedGhasp. Took me forever to finish.
Gosh, the last time I drew one of this species was probably about 2 years ago. I kinda miss 'em...
What is that thing omg?!
A Vampire Wraith, as the drawing states. And that is an original race of mine originally inspired by the Legacy of Kain series. My concept has strongly evolved since and the game series has been left behind a long long time ago. As far as I remember it exists since 2004, maybe a bit earlier.
How does that work?
When a Hume dies, the dead human can be infused with dark energy to be reborn undead as a vampire and rise from his tomb and walk among the living. If a vampire dies, teh body falls apart to ashes and the spiritual energy is cast into the underrealm of shadows and ghosts where it eventually dissipates or is absorbedby...something else. If it manages to subsist though, and gathers strength, it could recreate a living body and come out of the realm of dead. now that would be a vimpire wraith.
What does it look like?
Skin. Generally the skin color is of various shades of blue, uniform, though often bearing various markings. Could be baby-blye, naivy-blue, or steel grey-blue, sometimes even white, if you happen to run into an albino individual.
Hair. Hair/fur/feathers are generally of the same color. The most widely found would be shades of green and blue, but it could be any bright and rather saturated hue. Albinos would have white hair of course, but regular Vampire Wraiths could too.
Limbs. The limbs are usually uncovered with skin and turn partly infused with spectral energy so that the muscles become glowing with it. So taht VW often cover their limbs with stripes of leather (or forreign.. skin. ahem.) or fabric.
Claws. All limbs have 4 long claws (including thumb), they aren't bone, but skin and muscle turnes very rough, but still flexible.
Wings. Wings could have looked like the bird ones having been torn apart of their meat, having bones and skin with the furry/feathery coverage left on them.
Tail. Medium_length tail covered with fur on it's ending half.
Orbs. VW have two orbs on teh sides of their head and one on the front. The orbs are of color of the VW's current enery in use. If it's dark, they would be dark, if it's elemental air, they would glow blue, ect. Each orb can transform into a horn or a token, depending on what kind of maginc is in use.
Eyes. Most usually are of the same colro as hair, in a brighter and glowing version of it.
Clothes. The picture shows a sort of a minimalistic clothing style, more underwear-like - parts covered with leather belts clipped together.
That's all, folks!
Just in case I haven't mentioned: VW eat souls. Of the living and dead creatures, in both realms.
I probably should do a correct ref sheet for those little ones, but I don't think I'd have any time. I'd definetly draw a male to complete this picure...later on.

I'm amazed at how many different elements are applied to her, and yet she still looks great.

Is the title a reference to the song by Linkin Park? (Points of Authority, in their album Hybrid Theory)
Anyway, excellent picture!

She looks cute, yet at the same time quite menacing. She looks like she would be able to lure someone quite easily.
And a very nice concept. I love those games! Lovely creature she is, and a great species, for sure. Excellent work!

this pic is real good,.... but there are so many other better pics or works, that dont become a deviation of the day or even any of attention. for me a bit unfair.

I love how one toe on each foot is sticking up like that. I'm a sucker for fluffy tails and wings, too! It looks awesome! Everything about this picture is like... OMG. I love the detail you've put into this picture. The markings on her body, her clothes, her headdress (the orbs). Even the scratch marks on the rocks she's leaning against. The lighting is perfect and I think you've picked a great pose!
I like Vampire Wraiths Kinda makes me wish I was one of them.

This is simply amazing. No wonder you got a DD. I can't find a single flaw in it.
I love the legs and arms especially. They look really cool, and the bit of info about them in the description shows that you've put a lot of thought into your original species. Excellent job!

Very nice, definitely a lot more visually appealing than Soul Reavers cloaked spectres Nice to see that such a great series of games has inspired some incredible work! *faves*

My pleasure I reckon Raziel would have had trouble with the Wraiths if they looked like this! He'd probably wanna hit on them more than destroy them!

Lots of LoK inspiration. Not only in the backstory, but as well as the cloven hands and feet and the Soul-Reaverish extension.
Kudos. Very nice. I'm particularly terrible with color, so to see this is like viewing something beyond the ability of the human hand.

MoonLightSpectre In reply to alphanuva [2008-07-31 08:11:53 +0000 UTC]
The claws were actually more inspired by Requiem MMO and that "something-whitch"-called comic book of a marvel-like style which's I don't remember anymore
But LoK definetly made me start drawing at the first place XD
Thank you!
