Vampires. Everyone loves them. And zombies. Basically the same thing but
vampires dress better. Personally, I'm kind of sick of both of them,
yet, I'm still drawn to them. And still love drawing them. Vampire
movies and artwork and comics and the whole scene had a major influence
on me. Not just the look of them, but their style, their sexiness and
their mysteriousness. Zombies, well, they're just fun to draw because
you get to radically alter the human face and form. And, if you mess up
on the drawing, it doesn't really matter cuz no one would know anyways.
Well,
I have no zombies for you this time, but a small hand full of
vampires.Guess I've been feeling a bit moody and depressed lately, so
that's usually when the vampire lover in me comes out and makes me want
to draw/paint/watch or read about them. Call me gothy, or emo, tho I
really ain't technically either. Just, there's nothing better than
drawing vampires to get the moodiness & darkness out. And here's a
few I've done recently while trying to shake the sad little cobwebs from
my mind.
THE BLOOFER LADY
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE CHOICE I NEVER HAD!
THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE AND IT SHALL BE MINE!
The
next few aren't technically vampire art, but it falls under the same
aesthetic. Sadness, loneliness, loss, and of course, a touch of the
supernatural.
ESTRANGED
THE QUEEN OF RATS
THE HOUSE OF SILENT SCREAMS
So
yeah. I guess I just can't deny it. I'm still a sucker for the sad
little vampire & ghosty stories. It's really what I love to draw and
paint the most. It's a reflection of so many things we all feel, yet
are drawn to at the same time. Which is why it's such a popular subject.
We can show the beauty in horror, the erotic longing, the tantalizing
forbidden, the dying to live.
It also speaks to the narcissist in us all. We all want to be irresistible to others.Especially to those we ourselves are drawn to. No matter how many times we all like to
diminish it, or ridicule or deny it,just face it. Everyone is sexier
with fangs and the lack of pupils in our eyes. You just can't look away
from it.
Come Hither If You Dare.
