SF&F Picture 6 out of 46 by Matthew W. Gonzales.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: By the Blood

The idea for this picture floated around in my head for about half a year before I put it on paper. I wanted to do a red-haired vampyre for something a little different, but the image I had in my head didn't make much technical sense, and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. Finally, some time in late August or early September, I found a lipstick ad on the back of one of my Mom's fitness magazines and decided it would make the perfect basis for my vampyre picture. The title is a reference to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Prismacolor coloured pencils on 8.5x11 academie brand sketch paper.

2 May 2006	Rebekah vamm_goda Garcia	Loading... The blood is very, very striking, and I love the attention you gave to her jewelery. The most striking part, though, is her eyes. They glow, which is really, really hard to look away from. Great work! Matthew W. Gonzales replies: "Thanks, I was going for the whole underworld effect... I love vampyres with glowing eyes, lol."
7 May 2006	Stefan Askernaes	Loading... This one's really good. The pencilwork is extraordinary. Also an interesting angle for a facial portrait. Matthew W. Gonzales replies: "Actually I'm rather depressed by this picture now, I found an Atreyu album cover that looks almost exactly like it sigh Anyway thanks, it helps to get rid of some of the sting, lol."
10 May 2006	Kristin A. Erickson	Loading... I love how the blood is running down her neck and over the exquisite necklace. Matthew W. Gonzales replies: "well, somebody better catch it then..."
25 May 2006	Emanuella ´Discord Goddess´ Kozas	Loading... Nice creepy expression on her face, kinda makes me shiver a bit inside, then I remember Im evil though and it goes away grins Nice picture, I love how you did her lips and her hair, as well as the expression of her face. Matthew W. Gonzales replies: "Thank you Thank you Thank you. She looks quite gorged to me. maybe some kind of vampiric feeding ecstasy, lol."
