If you read my journal: [link]
One of the PSD file which I lost is this one.
So yeah... I have to repaint it... OTL

Anyway, the concept of this one is:
=DemonicEssence told me that The Forbidden is a vampire, he's like... the misunderstood good guy; and he's actually kinda nice, but short tempered though!

So I thought, I definitely don't want to draw him "villain-y" so I choose a rather normal expression and not some "devilish smirk" kind of expression or some "psychotic" kind of expression.

And he's short tempered, so there's no way I draw him smiling :D

A horned-guy with red eyes and tats under his eyes is already very... somewhat grim and devilish, so I choose to make the picture to look like an ordinary close-up photograph (remove the horns and tats then change the eye-colors and poof! you'll get a normal kind of head-shot), but being too normal, isn't good either! Since The Forbidden is not your average-Joe after all!

So I add the blood effect, so it'll look (I hope) like a regular photograph of a good looking horned guy which got stained by blood :D

That's too back-up the fact that The Forbidden is a vampire, he deals a lot with blood.

Besides that, I also know from the beginning that I will add a touch of blood in this picture.

Why?

Because I know =DemonicEssence loves blood :D


And Soul is happy when her commissioner is happy too! ^^

Oh. my. god.

About the drawing of course, but there is an ''&'' too - I am drawing something looking exactly the same, ok, the concept. xD
Brown hair, horns, and the thingies drawn around the eyes. x.x And I have never seen =DemonicEssence`s character ever before. xD

Feels so weird..
Though I was doing a little bit more abstract and simpler version, I now feel like mine is going to be like a stolen idea. o.o


But I adore your smooth coloring and how you manage to draw everything proportionally and very beautifully. ^^ Really pretty. :]
