Await the Night

I was recently asked by Imagine FX magazine to write an article about painting vampires, and this new artwork will be the main feature. Thanks to everyone who commented on my journal entry about what tips they would like to see featured in the article [link] I found the comments very useful and have answered many of the points in the article.

The scene here is a gothic style crypt in which a vampire girl awaits the night and her opportunity to venture out once more into the world, under the cover of darkness.
I enjoyed designing all the gothic style details and bat motifs, and I hope you like it

Thanks also to model `Elandria for the reference and costume that inspired the figure.
