Tag As FavoriteComment

The third of my Vampire: the Masquerade drawings, this is the Tzimisce who calles herself Zorya Polunachnaya — a Slavic goddess and youngest daughter of the sun, the very embodiment of the night — and her little imp friend, a leilik that serves as her familiar. She's a warrior koldun of Buda- Pest.

Original 8x11 inches, ink on paper from my sketchbook, background done in Adobe PhotoShop.

Great work! U have a very good control of the human form.
U could just try and do some backgrounds( i have the same problem) but they add alot to the drawing

I have seen the name Zorya Polunachnaya in a book called "American Goods" by Neil Gaiman, and I have wondered from which religion it came.

Cool picture. The funny thing is: my Tzimisce character is also called Zorya Polunochnaya, inspired by Neil Gaiman's book "American Gods". She looks quite different though.

:-) Paul Baxter replies: "I loved American Gods! What a fan-stinkin-tastic book. Zorya Polunachnaya was a fascinating character, but I still like mine better..."

Oooo, I like this. She's pretty! Great Job!! The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have any shading, but I still think it is very well drawn.

14 Paul Baxter replies: "This one's just from my sketchbook, so it's not as 'finished' as some of my other work around here. Still, I dig this one, and apparently so do others."

ooohhh
i like this one a lot, i love how u drew the art work on her left hand. Damn cool.

17 Paul Baxter replies: "Ya see, there's a reason for that tatoo work on there... I kinda screwed up some of the line around her wrist, and to cover-up my mistake, I gave her some ink-work. Promise you won't tell anyone, okay?"

But doesn't matter, who here doesn't agree that it's still a cool pic. Laterz

Saucy


but it looks like she's sleepwalking, and as a result, cutting a peice of stone out of her room rather then a peice of ham out of her dinner 10

Hey fantastic expresion!
May I use it for a tour?

I love the expression on her face - and all the detail, and how she really looks like she's leaning on the rock wall with her body weight. .. I would almost be tempted to color this. Would you mind?

Hi there! Nice pic. Just dropped in to tell ya the city is actually called Budapest (without hyphen). Unless, of course, you are playing Dark Ages, in which case it's either Buda or Pest. They were two separate cities in the middle ages. Just ignore what WW Dark Ages novels tell you. A major mess-up on their part in my opinion. Anyway, the picture is nice nonetheless. I am no expert so I can't give you any advice except that you practice 1
