Description
The working title for this piece was "Willing Victim." You see, this girl has fallen to the oldest ploy in fiction. She wants the handsome, ageless, flowing white haired vampire hunk to take her away from this dreary existence. This he does by not actually changing anything, except that now her same dreary existence will last forever, she has to eat people, and the sun will kill her. So yeah, she's totally making out on this deal.Anyway, that's what the ribbon is about. It's her sign, as she struts right in through the gates of Stensia, that she really wants Markov to give her the business, vampire style. Which of course isn't nearly as hot as it sounds. It's over in five seconds and all you've got to show for it is a slobbery-cold and punctured neck.
Still, Markov would eat Edward for breakfast and still have room for a Denny's Grand Slam.

The model for this piece would like to mention that she is hot, her boobs are real, and that you should all send her $5. Yes, she really said this.

I love it! I wish I could draw like this...
I might, eventually (in a decade, maybe). Practice makes perfect, eh? Till then, I'll just stick with admiration. ^_^

The single vampire scene that has always been the most chilling to me is from the old Dracula comic on Marvel. Dracula charmed and then bit a young girl, maybe 11 years old. absolutely one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

*hands the model $5*
Gorgeous. And, I would like to add, Markov would *so* add Edward to his collection of vampires that he despises for merely existing.

Kudos to you for the wonderful image and incredible detail! Also, my respect to the model, the pose is absolutely fantastic, I really like the tenderness with which she holds the ribbon and her hair.

Wonderful colours, spiffy idea, all wonderful.
And to that last note, yes she is, I'm sure they are, and sadly, for us to all pay her would require her to be willing to give personal information to the internets

First time I saw the card, all I could think was how the one side looks kinda like Whitney Stevens, and the other looks like Gianna Michaels.
But now I'm wondering who the model is for realz.

This is such an interesting piece to me. The warmth, the depth, and the emotion that feels to be pouring from her eyes. There is just something mesmerizing about it.

So...the awkward thing is this girl is the spitting image of my sister-in-law (minus the blonde hair). I think I need to start inquiring if she models for magic cards!

"It's over in five seconds and all you've got to show for it is a slobbery-cold and punctured neck."
So that's what happened to me New Years!
Awesome work! As always!
After playing the game for going on 12 years, it's so cool to see one of my favorite MTG artist work here. And get to communicate to you about it!
