Sometimes my writing and my artwork will combine, one will drive the other. The render below is one of those cases, it’s a “snapshot” from a story that was going through my head at the time.
Writing the words to the story proved to be much harder than rendering this portion of the story, so I’ve posted the image for now while I refine the writing, which I’ll add once it’s done.

I was between tasks and wandering YouTube when I came across Lita Ford’s song and music video “Close My Eyes Forever”, which gave me the idea to kick out a new vampire-themed render that continues a similar theme as the “Promise” series.
Vampires are one of those concepts that sit on the edge between darkness and light so perfectly – they’re dangerous, killers, but their eroticism and attraction is undeniable. As such, they’re fun to depict in artwork in the same way that I take Giger-esque aliens and put them in ambiguous scenes.
Like the “Promise” series images, I’ll write a short accompanying story fragment to go with the pic and put it up on my main web site.
Take a look and decide for yourself – is the victim willing, resigned, or … ?
This might sting a little ...
Created in Poser, postwork using Photoshop and Picasa.

Another of the vampire Promise series renders to go alongside the novels. Again, the text was created for the image itself. Image and story after the fold, this time from our plucky protagonist’s perspective.

Another one from the vampire Promise series. I was wondering what the last thing you’d see as you died would be, and figured it’d probably be one very happy contented sated vampire. image after the fold, click to view the full sized image

One of the covers for the vampire Promise novels, I wrote the accompanying text when I did the render to go with the image in its deviantArt publication. Full image and snippet after the fold, as always click the image to see the full version.

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.
