To the bright lad who thinks vampires are allergic to silver: Sorry, but werewolves are allergic to silver, vampire stakes are made of wood, and nothing else
to the artist: Since this is fantasy, u can make a silver stake, nobody should judge your drawing on anything but its beauty, wich is astounding

Just adding my own two cents to the 'silver and vampires' debate. Silver is, in alchemy, considered to be a pure substance. As such, it negates all evil influences.
There are some legends which include silver as a bane to vampires. It is not common, but then again neither are some of the other legends such as vampires being obsessive compulsive.
Besides, vampires aren't real. The stories are only stories. Write your own stories, create your own legends, devise your own myths.

Holy moose? I like that, Tabatha. Cute!
Oh, by the way, splattering everyone with blood is a BAD idea according to some myths, because vampire blood can cause madness if it touches you. That could be a spell ingredient!

And, yes, according to every tradition I've read: werewolves are the only monsters that are allergic to silver, vampires are not. So it really irks me that all these new movies and stuff have vampires allergic to silver too! But then, I'm a purist, and all the monsters D&D has made up drive me nuts.

this is awsome!!!!!! I Love It!!!

but to the whole sliver/vamp thing, sliver will slow a vampire down but it wont kill them. just to let everyone know.

The design of the weapon flows so wonderfully. It fits together so well. In your other art the armour on some of your charecters has an amazing design. You have a designing mind like kit rae. Your able to intertwine all of these pieces of the weapon to make it connect well together. this is true fantasy coming to life in an array of color and shades. fantastic.

How have you done this? Nice picture!

Beautifully done. Why are you guys commenting on the silver, the description says nothing about what can be used for killing a vampire, only that this artifact is made of silver. I never heard anyone saying that silver is not allowed against vampires...
