Well, this is the second picture of my winged vampire chick. This one I did as a Christmas gift for a friend that liked the first one (go see it if you haven’t! The time I spent shading the shingles on the other one was insane).

And because I’m ranting about the vampire’s history (see the first winged vampire drawing), here’s more…

So last I left of she was stuck as the research subject of a mad scientist who had plans on capitalizing on her vampire genes, primarily on the anti-aging ones. The mad scientist, Isaac (I finally bothered to look up his name on an old drawing), kept the project a secret by blaming her disappearance on an attempt to escape with embezzled money from the company they both worked for. Isaac had stolen the money himself, but it wasn’t that difficult to pin it on her. Everyone, including the local authorities, was convinced that she ran off to Mexico with the money.

With no one looking for her, she remained imprisoned in Isaac’s private lab. Only a few trusted assistants worked with Isaac on the project. The project grew increasingly more frustrating for everyone when they found out she was only a quarter vampire, and that it was difficult to tell the human genes from the vampire ones. The project was particularly frustrating for Isaac because his vampire specimen had the irritating habit of correcting him on scientific facts and on the conclusions that were drawn from his experiments. This clawed at Isaac’s ego, for his specimen was proving to be a better scientist that he was (which was technically one of the reasons he tried to steal her research in the first place). Isaac treated her more harshly as a result and because his ego had been damaged, he became even more obsessed with the project.

The project wasn’t going very well for him. Most attempts to identify key vampire genes had failed. Because of his disappointment with the project and his growing hatred for the vampire, he began various drug trials to get her vampire genes to express. He had little luck finding the genes responsible for vampire immortality, but he did stumble upon a shape-shifting ability latent in most vampires. Shape-shifting was a nifty trick in the Middle Ages but it is rarely used in modern times. Perfecting shape-shifting normally takes vampires several centuries, so when the quarter vampire experienced it, she was grossly unprepared.

Transforming into her winged demon form is extremely painful and it makes living as a human being nearly impossible. She sinks into a state of depression after this, knowing that if she ever does escape from Isaac’s lab, she will never be able to return to a normal life in the human world. She also knows from experience that because she is a half-breed, she will not find much support in the vampire community.

From her suffering, Isaac gains the ego boost he was looking for. He continues on with the experiment, but grows more careless with security because he believes she has been broken. He has a bit more progress with isolating the genes involved in vampire aging, but before he can narrow it down, she escapes.

She escaped late one night by using what small telepathic vampire powers she had to convince one the of lab assistants he had already locked her cell door when he hadn’t. The next morning Isaac came into his lab to find two of his assistants torn to pieces, blood splattered everywhere.

Alright… that was another long bit of history…. I’m tried of writing now, and I haven’t really even gotten to the beginning of the comic. This is all back-story that will appear in bits and pieces in the comic if I ever bother to write and draw it.
