Description I wanted to make a character that had a bit of old-school vampire (takes cover from the sun by any means necessary, lurks in a family tomb, capable of turning into a bat, etc)

Laila, the vampire, is a red fox. She and her family jumped from town to town every few years, working as tailors (which they are pretty good at from years of practice).

Laila is the more gentler and kinder than the rest of her family. Her father, Andre, seduced a woman and made her his bride, Ariana (Laila's mother), many years ago. Her parents had 5 children: Morton, Ceinwein, Christopher, Laila, and Venus.
*the ages between the children tend to be from 6-20 years apart*
Like many old-school vampires, she is capable of transforming into a large bat. But with the amulet around her neck, she can have the power of flight without becoming a bat. (like in the picture above)


In her family they have rules:
The holy light will reveal one's evils (Stay away from the churches)

The sun's light no longer welcomes one with open arms. (Stay out in broad daylight if possible, if one must come out during the day, cover oneself)

Only take blood under the dim moonlight. (Hunt in the night only)

and the most important rule

Mortal's affairs are none of a vampire's. (Stay out of mortal business)

But Laila is gonna run into a bit of trouble with her family with that last rule sometime in the future.

Laila and art made by me

EDIT: Fixed the shading of the shoes, thank you for the critique that pointed that out.

You set on critiques, and... I couldn't resist x3
Let's get started, shall we?

First, the positives! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Red"/>Your character design is gorgeous as always. The colors look really good on her: and I love that dress!
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Red"/>Her anatomy is nicely executed. Her arms look the right length, same with her legs. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/>
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Red"/>Your scenery, although a bit on the simple side, works really well with the character. It gives depth, and I really like that. (I wish I was better at backgrounds....)

Now, some negatives. :/
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Black"/>Her shoes look a little out of place with the shading and lineart. They just... really stand out. I'd suggest shading them differently to get them to fit in better.

I don't see anything else that stands out to me.
All in all, you've done a great job, and such a cute character, too! Keep it up e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/>

Babbling-Magician In reply to ShadowGuardian95 [2010-06-22 14:55:17 +0000 UTC]

I imagine Escabar would find out about her vampirism by witnessing her with her wings one night.

Yeah, probably
He'd be a bit confuzzled

Babbling-Magician In reply to ShadowGuardian95 [2010-06-23 17:45:47 +0000 UTC]

and if Laila notices him, she would immediately hide in the darkness...

ShadowGuardian95 In reply to Babbling-Magician [2010-06-24 03:41:46 +0000 UTC]

Yup... and Escabar would keep staring for a moment until he finally asks her what was up with her wings

Babbling-Magician In reply to ShadowGuardian95 [2010-06-24 14:54:03 +0000 UTC]

and the wings would disappear and she would say 'what wings?'

ShadowGuardian95 In reply to Babbling-Magician [2010-06-25 03:28:38 +0000 UTC]

Escabar would then tilt his head, confused and mutter "The ones that were just there"

Babbling-Magician In reply to ShadowGuardian95 [2010-06-25 17:16:39 +0000 UTC]

And Laila would be pretending that she doesn't know what he's talking about, trying to get away without suspicion.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ShadowGuardian95 In reply to Babbling-Magician [2010-06-26 07:38:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but Escabar would still be asking questions

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Babbling-Magician In reply to ShadowGuardian95 [2010-06-26 12:39:18 +0000 UTC]

and at some point Escabar would then demand her to tell him, since he is the prince....and Laila would have no choice but to tell him. (since it would be before they become close friends)
