Well, I'm not much into vampires stories anymore but as I was working on the artwork, it came to my mind that it was the best rendering of Akasha (the famous Queen of the Damned, mother of all vampires according to Anne Rice's novels) that I could ever done :) This stock by ~Lamia-stock has been used a lot, I am aware of it, but I've tried to manipulate it in my own way, to make something different !

I hope you wil appreciate it, I really love this one !

Stocks ~Lamia-stock and [link] for textures and the diverse background elements.

I liked how you treated the image. It does show Akasha in a sense. Wished you made her skin more bronzed, but that's just my preference.

Yes you are right, in the story her skin is more "tanned", but as I was adding textures, it didn't fit very much :/

Thanks a lot for your comment :)

Thanks dear, since this stock pic is so famous, it was quite a challenge to not make it look like "deja-vu" a million times ^^

I guessed that was the case, seeing ~Lamia-stock's profile and facial features, her being bronzed wouldn't be quite right. :)
