Description
Some more Leland/Claris vampiric medieval moonlight-lurve.I absolutely love drawing the nuzzled-on-chest pose. A couple times while I was doing this, I was thinking that it might be a wee bit disquieting to be nuzzled up on someone else's chest and have it be completely still. And cold. O_o Then again, if you're in a similar condition yourself, how disturbing could it really be? Would it be peaceful in its complete silence? I mean, having your head leaned against SOMEBODY is generally pretty nice... maybe even if the somebody in question isn't technically alive?

Wow, sis, for sure you feel a lot in the part of your character! XD i wouldn't have thought about that!
The eyes are particularly cool in this pic,and you chose a really difficult pose! But you did it greatly!!!

XDD I blame random synaptic misfirings for that train of thought. Or maybe just the fact that I spent so long on it, I was BOUND to start thinking about SOMETHING sordid! I'm really glad you like the eyes. Both of them can kind of do that animal night-vision thing where they get the cat-at-night eyes, and I was thinking about having her doing that, but I tried it and it didn't really look that great, so I kept it as it was.
I'm glad you like the pose, I reeeeally love this pose. :3

Hehe, thanks! Glad it wasn't too boring/creepy an observation for you, lol!
I'm so glad you like this one. I was thinking it was pretty sweet... but then, I ALWAYS think they're sweet. Even when I draw them biting each other they're still sweet.

I love how her gaze is directly on us, the viewer, and how it's peaceful and quiet but still somehow still so melancholic. I really like how you draw the pose, too!
i wanna pet his hair. so shiny.

Nrrr, thank you! I've noticed that I very often tend to make her looking at the viewer if she's not looking at him. It gives a good impression of "zombieface", which works because she kind of has one. She's not ACTUALLY as big a space cadet as her expression would imply, but she sure does look like one.
Partially, I like drawing these guys because it's hard to NOT make them look melancholic, which is something I really dig in artwork. :3

Haha, I don't think of her expressions as vacant - they read as a whole bunch of very subtle things, unified and tamped down by sadness. And oh, oh yes, I think we already had a conversation or three fangirling over melancholy but oh yes 8D

temiel In reply to LaughingAstarael [2010-10-24 20:25:51 +0000 UTC]
HAHA, lol, we totally did! And REALLY? You think so? I've always thought of her as the sort of person who has a VERY subtle set of expressions; unless she's feeling something really REALLY strongly, it doesn't tend to show up much in her face. Maybe it comes with being someone's servant, you learn to cover up what you're really thinking.
It's pretty easy to describe her as having a zombie-face, but I never really thought I had enough skill to actually convey the fact that she's actually making really imperceptible faces.
I STILL doubt this possibility. But that'll be my excuse, if anyone ever asks me why she's so blank all the time.

We're dorks in the best way possible XDDD
Yes! It does come across, at least to me... the face is saying too much, the eye contact too direct, to be a blank zombieface. You so do have the skill - you win xD!

I GUESSED YOU MIGHT BE A WEREWOLF PERSON!! But yeah, I'm glad you're digging these guys, I just... can't seem to stop drawing them.
Especially him. Because he's... super super hot.
I'm not ALWAYS a vampire person, but I will make a massive, huge exception for Leland.

Oh I see 8D there's a vampire in Epifania too, I'm not much of a fan of vampires, but he's sexeh too! <3333333 So I guess when the vampire is sexy and DOESN'T SPARKLE, we can make an exception

OMG, really? I'm SO glad to hear that, the entire time I was doing this I was thinking "MAN, there really isn't enough color or contrast in this image..." But you know, it's a night scene, how much contrast is there going to BE really? But thank you so much! VERY glad you approve.
