OK, I’ll admit it, I don’t like Twilight. It’s that whole Vamp-angst concept. Beverly Hills 90210 meets Vlad the Impaler and goes vegan is just … pulp?
Vampires are supposed to be dark, evil, ruthless, sensual, sexual, and generally confuse the hell out out of you if they’re going to kiss you or kill you. There’s a few authors manage to keep you reminded that their vamps aren’t entirely domesticated, but one of my faves is Laurell K Hamilton and her “Anita Blake” novels.
So it only stood to reason while I was working on the artwork for my Promise series of vamp novels (linkage pending on my main site) that I’d come up with a few renders for my friends who likewise appreciate LKH’s sweet-and-innocent-turned-borderline-psycho.
No, honest, I was making them for my friends! Yeesh, you guys are so cynical!
Anyways, I give you Anita and Jean Claude in the earlier days, below the fold – click the pic to see it full size.
