Description I'll move this to scraps once I add color and a background. I'd like the finished product to have Renaissance portrait feel. Can't wait to color this one!

This was inspired by the short story "Carmilla," which I read a few months ago. Very creepy!

Ohhhh, THIS lady. I remember her too! I can't remember, though, did you change her dress after all, or was this the way it originally was?

Muirin007 In reply to grieverwings [2010-07-09 20:39:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I did change it around a bit. I wanted to make it a bit more accurate according to the time period.
You should read the story; talk about creepy!

Murin, you are truly my idol for art! Such beauty yourcreat and life your breathe into your characters and drawings, it staggers my mind beyond any understanding! This story, Carmilla, is this regarding the Hungarain countess who bathed in young maidens' blood to cure herself of the plague?

Muirin007 In reply to Tete-DePunk [2010-07-09 20:43:06 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you so much!

I read it awhile ago, so I don't remember the specifics, but I do know she was a noblewoman who turned into a vampire and invaded the home of another wealthy family. You must read it: it's incredibly well done. In fact, I think the full text is available online.

I will try to procure the book, do you know the author's name?

I am honored you replied, Muirin!

I like the design of the gown and the woman's face + hairstyle. Never heard of the story Carmilla before, was it really creepy?

Thank you so much!

Oh, it was! I actually don't get scared too easily, but something about this story just gave me the willies! I think the full story is available online if you're curious.
