"I've never regretted becoming a vampire; I can dare say that I am far better off as one than what I was when I was alive.
Though I do miss one thing from my life before. The sun. It's such a beautiful, happy, delightful thing, and it always brought a smile to my face when I was young." ~ Well, that was the piece of dialogue that was going through my head as I was coloring this. I wanted to choose colors that sorta represented the sun, red and yellow. It's a really important symbol for Victoria in the story later on. Victoria is a secondary protagonist in my story, Wayward School for Misfit Creatures of the Generically Evil. She's the headmistress who's a bit of a judgmental, biased goof-ball, but she means well. I realize that this picture has a lot of influence from paintings of women in the 1800's, which is because I used their dresses as references to come up with Victoria's. However she came out looking a little too skinny at the waist like the women in the pictures, and like she came from the South in the US. D: Oh well. This is an entry for the OC contest: [link] I was planning to submit a complimentary picture with Vincent as well, but I have no time to finish. Took me the whole day to complete this! D: Btw, this picture is HUGE. Download to see the massive size. |

Well behaved women rarely make history.
Really nice, I really love how you drew the outlines. It brings an inner glow to the piece.

There was a young man from Japan
Whose verses never would scan.
When they said this was so,
He said, "Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many words in the last line
as I possibly can."
And thanks.

I especially love all the sharp little details, like her eyes, nose, and the yellow dress-top-thing?.. and it's really calming to look at. :3
I loff her.

If you don't win, I'm gonna have to have a talk with the judges. I was gonna enter, but now I'm glad I didn't. o_o I'd be crushed by this.
