I wanted to create something dark with the vampire theme and this is the result. I worked a lot on getting the right expression to show on her face. I couldn't decide whether to make her blond or black haired so I decided to give her black stripes. I tried to give him a warmer glow to his skin in contrast to her pale skin. The original has a more blue/grey tone to it but the scanner made it appear a bit more natural but I still feel she got a pale look to her.
Made with pastels and soft charcoal.
