Description Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

When young journalist Jonathan Harker travels to Romania on behalf of an old millionaire he thinks he is on a mission for easy money. Go to the Romanian countryside and investigate a story about a local Vampire myth. Just how easy can it get?
Little does he know he follows the path of his literature namesake, falling into a trap. Suddenly he is part of plan that could change the world as we know it. Creatures of the night push forward to make a move against humankind.
Something the "Agency" can't allow to happen. Jonathan finds himself in the midst of a secret battle already raging on for far too long.
His only hope to survive are the Vampire Nicolea and Lycan Velkan. There are rules in the dark world on the other side and soon Jonathan breaks one of them. The one Nicolea had driven into him again and again: For your own sake, stay out of that Lycan's bed!

This is the start of Johnathan and Velkan? 
I've finally got the time to go to the beginning and go from there. 
Your art is really cool and so full of emotion and lot's of things that there are no words for, but the storyline was calling to me more. 
And I'm trying to find the beginning of their story. 

When someone's art can make me cry then I know I've found something GOOD and want to know more. And that is this story to me.

Oh my gosh, this is a wonderful compliment indeed. Thank you so, so very much. You can't imagine how much that means to me.

First of all, I need to apologize. The story of Velkan and Jonathan has been in development for almost a decade and there have been numerous changes to characters, design and story itself. That makes my gallery extremely confusing. I'm going to upload their origin story in written form soon. Basically the only "canon" pictures are on the first page of my gallery. Especially after the latest design change for Jonathan, which would be this one: Darkside Detective

Also the ones about the prequel with Velkan alone, like these: The Mansion in the Mist  or Night over London

The ones I see you faving at the moment are from older versions of the story. The original version where Jon was still supposed to become a vampire. A lot of that has changed since then. Again, I'm sorry for the confusion. I hope you can still enjoy the pictures.

I am having a great time with the storyline that I've dug up. 
Of course, I can see you've upgraded them immensely. 

And I was kinda put off (but still going with it) upon finding out that Jonathan became a vampire. I was thinking to myself, how could Velkan save him if he is already a vampire. So I was kinda confused. But now I'm understanding with your explanation. I'm still going thru your earlier works just the same. 

What a scenario, Jonathan + Markus (an ex no less) + Velkan (who he hates to love but loves him just the same and hates that he does ). 

I went through my vampire stage along with the media hype, sorry to say. My sister and I couldn't get enough novels. We would read and swap and read others and swap. Anne Rice was awesome. I saw the first TWILIGHT movie...Yuck blah ech! It had promise but it was too Hollywood for me. My sister watched though, she got so sucked in I couldn't save her. I did watch the two-part ending movies with her on TV and they were pretty good with that mass fight scene especially, but still...

Thank you for leading me to the right path.

Heh, yeah, it is really confusing. When this all started it was a super stereotypical vampire story but I moved away from that fandom. I still have vampires around but shifted the story to be about ancient lost cultures, their technology, old Gods etc.

You‘ll come across other versions, too. There is Jon the supernatural cat burglar. Then there is Jon in a threeway relationship with Velkan and Richard, who is another regular. Jon as a student is around here too. now he’s actually working at the British Museum. I will see about cleaning up my gallery into folders to make it less confusing.

The picture I uploaded tonight (called Squad Goals) has the design of the characters and their respective partners as it is now. Jon and Velkan have been with me for so long but I think I finally reached a setup I‘m truly happy with.

Nevertheless, thank you so much for spending so much time with my works and your comments are really appreciated. Makes me happy to know you enjoy what I do.

I'm amazed at what you can do on the computer. Give ya props for that.

Only critique I'd have is that Jonathan's hair right by his ear (the top of it) looks blurred. Where everything else is like in detail.

Just something I noticed. Otherwise great work! I like it!

Damn, you saw the blurred part There was a flaw in the texture plus the head was showing through. I postworked it clumsily and so it became a bit blurred

Thank you so much
