vampire chick.

I was in the bookstore and saw something called Vampire the Masquerade. I read a bit about it and decided to do this goth looking vampire chick. Hope you all enjoy it. Its not quite finished, but close enough to post.

what is she looking @? where is the light coming from. i like the drawing tho.

She doesn't look particularly vampire and/or gothic to me.

yeah i agree w/ above, gothic or vamp chicks and dudes have pale skin, change that, that will help. Maybe you should change her xpression to, make it devilish, or a smirk. also i like the colors you used and the drawing is nice, but maybe lower the saturation, and used more wash out colors, when i think "goth" or "vampire", i think of movies like Blade, Dark City, and Underworld. They all had that washed out monocrome look. Try that, and GL! i look forward to seeing what u change!:)

Hey all!
Thanks for the comments, I agree with alot of your points and tried to change the image the best I could. Hope it looks better than it did. Any more crits would of course be welcome. :chug:

Really cool, but for me the clothes and especially the hairstyle(mad max-ish)put me off from the feel of a vampy chick, just my two cents:)

[digitalgannon]

hummm i dont agree, she has that blade blk leather pants and jacket goin on, hair doesnt bother me either- but whatta i know?

[dyoung]

Hey all,
Just thought I'd give some insight as to why I used the hairstyle I did and the clothes I did. I got the reference from woman I saw online. Her hair was pulled back like that and I kinda liked the underground look she had. As for the Black leather with Wed Bra and belt, I kinda went with the woman from Heavy Metal the movie. The final animation depicts a woman who is a warrior type and wears black leather with a red bra and red gloves. But I can see where one would get the Mad Max feel.

Cheers! :chug:

Well, what i ment is that this vampire looks more like a rough badass vamp, not like the usual stereotypical aristrocrat vampire. Cool, but not as sensuous and lithe as i like my vampys, but thats personal preference:)

I like the new colours, but I miss the old value contrast. Why not put some light purple highlights in there?

Also... Prob. just me... but it looks like HER left eye isn't in the socket. Should it be closer to the nose (right a smidge)?

anyway... Looks great!
