Description Alright so this one is for my battle against *balung in #theEpics !
The theme was Vampire Circus.

I was waaay inspired by theme, and had soso much fun making vampires..I didn't think I'd make such a big piece for a battle someday

Big thanks to `ChewedKandi for the awesome feedback she's given me while I was making this..She helped set me back on track real well

All done in illustrator.
I spend like two sleepless nights on this because I couldn't stop!
Songs on repeat: The sharpest lives - My chemical romance , Forsaken - Disturbed , When you're evil - Voltaire , Devils never cry - Devil may cry 3 OST.

Lines + Detail:


Stock reference: (Thank you!)

I am truly impressed by the strength and quality of such a splendid piece of work. I like your stylished expression [and that tiger... fancy that even felines can become vampiric].

ssst In reply to milksauce [2010-08-10 22:54:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! And yes, I was going for a regular Tiger just hanging out with vamps, but give it red eyes and bam! It falls right in line with it's vamp friends

I can't believe how much detail there is in this piece.
The close ups are very much appreciated!

Such a wonderful concept in the first place, it's amazing how well you pulled this off.
The twin bodied vampire is my favourite. I can stop staring at her/them. The spine is an awesome idea. I really love the hair too. The boots are beautifully drawn. The tiger is incredible - totally realistic. The two headed snake is brilliant! It took me ages to notice him and when i did i literally jumped! The bats, the dreamy backround, the gorgeous dripping blood - they're all just wonderful. I've never seen such a perfect colour palette either.

You my dear, are fantastic!

omg, i know i say this every single time, but this is my favorite piece that you've done so far. it's so fantastic! You used my all time favorite color palette and I just love the overall atmosphere of this piece. the best part for me is your siamese twins. they remind me of your medusa piece. so fantastically creepy.
