Description Some more Leland/Claris vampiric medieval moonlight-lurve. With a HENGE! Because you know, when you're going around England you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a menhir. At least, not in my head.

I absolutely love drawing the nuzzled-on-chest pose. A couple times while I was doing this, I was thinking that it might be a wee bit disquieting to be nuzzled up on someone else's chest and have it be completely still. And cold. O_o Then again, if you're in a similar condition yourself, how disturbing could it really be? Would it be peaceful in its complete silence? I mean, having your head leaned against SOMEBODY is generally pretty nice... maybe even if the somebody in question isn't technically alive? Probably shouldn't think too hard about this. Ignore my prattling.

Texture by me, with help from CGTextures. Brushes by ~green-eyed-butterfly .

OMG, thank you so much! I'm so glad it does. I wasn't really intending it to be that way, but midway through working on it, ~Arthulin pointed out that it had a very stained-glass look, which is totally appropriate for the time period. Happy accidents, you know!

The area around Stonehenge today is a bit of a joke - a big trafficy road which is very slow as people keep slowing their cars to look at the stones^^ Anyway, I'd imagine it might be reasonably comfortable if you were also undead to be huddled next to someone the same... Claris has some amazing hair crimping device!

temiel In reply to Larissa-Bright [2010-10-26 22:01:18 +0000 UTC]

Good thing they're not at Stonehenge! I imagine this being one of the smaller ones peppered around. I do love a good henge, though.

Claris's hair crimper is called SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION. That's totally my excuse for giving her crazy ridiculous hair. Fortunately, I think it can work, given the complete unreality of the whole thing altogether.

I like Leland and Claire, they're really pretty and mysterious but then... I have a soft spot for vampires since I read "The Vampire Lestat" and Armands story XDDD

It's again an awesome picture and I really like the atmosphere great job!

HEHEHUHU, yesss. Me toooo. When I was in high school I was a big vampire fan, and then recently they became SO INCREDIBLY POPULAR that I felt they were overdone, but I've cycled back to liking them again (thanks, Being Human and True Blood! ). I'm really glad you're digging my new guys, they're SO much fun to draw.

Chenria In reply to temiel [2010-10-27 05:10:28 +0000 UTC]

yeah... the vampire hype got a little too much... I like the first two Twilight books, but I think they made the vampires look a little well... like crybabies... nothing compared to the cool Rice-Vampires

And your new OCs are really cool and I hope to see more of them (and of course of the old ones, too) in the future

Aw, thank you!! I'm pretty fond of these guys too, they haven't QUITE supplanted my other favorite couples to draw but they're getting dangerously close.

Unfortunately, even if he were real, he wouldn't technically be alive, I suppose. But I'd settle for just real, anyway! I'm so glad you're enjoying it thus far!

Well, as a vampire, being dead is part of the terms of the whole thing. So even if he were real, he couldn't be alive. But as I said, I'd settle for just "real", since... well, you know.

AWWW, thank you!! I really wouldn't consider myself in the same league as her, but I'm flattered to hear I'm among your favorites!!

I earn a little here and there, from commissions and the odd illustration job, but certainly not enough to really have a decent living from it. The fact is, there are many, MANY more people working in the same field who are much, much better, and unless you have a LOT of motivation and time it's hard to really establish yourself in the art field. Buuuut I work a little and I hope a little and maybe one day stuff may work out. I won't hold my breath, but it is a thought. Thanks a lot for the kind words! It's very gratifying to hear that SOMEONE out there thinks I could cut it professionally.

Oh oh oh! I almost know what the title means this time! Let me see, it's a conjugated form of the verb requirere maybe... which means to search. I don't recognise the tense though.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to Caroline-DG [2010-10-27 01:50:45 +0000 UTC]

ACTUALLY (huhu) it has kind of a double meaning. "Requiescat", in ecclesiastical terms, is a prayer for the souls of the dead. As a verb, it's a form of "to rest". "Requiescat in pace", as a whole phrase, means "rest in peace", which is of course associated with funerary rites.

I R LITURIT. And this time I actually got it RIGHT, lol! A rare fortunate stab in the dark.

And for the previous comment (consolidating replies, yesss!) I thank you much. :3 I'm a big fan of the cute cuddlies (YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED! ). Usually I'm far too lazy to bother with a background, but I do like to think I've been getting less lazy about that lately. Or at least attempting to think about it a leeeetle bit more.

Ah, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like it. And the eyes!! Both of them can do the cat-eyes-in-the-dark thing, so I was kind of thinking I might make Claris's eyes like that in this picture, but it just didn't look good when I tried. So this'll have to do. I'm glad you like the sky! I've really been loving skies and clouds lately, and drawing these guys so often is a great excuse to do my favorite (lazy) background element: STARS AND CLOUDS!

you know I think they look gooorgeous. I love the lines for this and how the colour on them makes their skin especially seem to glow. The sky looks makes it look so cold and lonely, too, like they're the only two that are left, or matter. I suppose for Claris that's pretty much true, at least

A wonderful quiet scenery - he really has this 'I'm a good guy but not the easy one' attitude I think ...and she seems to give in her feelings for being hold ... very sweet. The only thing I'm not very happy with is her hair - it seems to be VERY voluminous, and I'm sure they didn't have hairspray in this century ...^^

temiel In reply to Asarea [2010-10-24 22:29:52 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm glad you think it looks sweet, I totally think they're sweet in spite of her weird dependence on him. The hair I actually meant to be unrealistically huge. I don't know if you've ever seen the movie of Interview with the Vampire, where Claudia gets transformed and her hair, which was previously really lank and dirty, gets magically clean and tightly curled and insanely voluminous? I imagine Claris's transformation being a little like that.

=Skioppy says she saw this guy [link] throwing water on his hair a couple years ago, and when it was dry it still had those same nutty curls. My fiance's hair does this too, so hairspray is DEFINITELY not a necessity!
