Description My last drawing of 2013!

Out of a desperate need to actually draw something new, I give you this, fresh off the drawing board.  And it’s a vampire of all things!
I have this “Drawing with Chris Hart” magazine I picked up this last October. 
Mr. Hart published this instructional magazine detailing how to draw spooky characters. I randomly flipped to a page and started drawing. It ended up being a character called "Goth Fem Fatal". Lucky me! I have to say, I feel better now that I have drawn something. Feels good.

Yes, that is reverse upside-down cleavage. Go ahead ladies; let me know how gross I am. I know I’m a dirty bird sometimes. Sorry, but it’s just the way the costume turned out.

For fun here is the how to draw a Goth Fem Fatal Page. staino.deviantart.com/art/Goth…

Creepy vampire eyes! And I am curious as to the belt--decorative gems on the neckline make sense, but belts are far more important, and a gal like this would definitely utilize her belt.

Yeah the vampire eyes are creepy. My most favorite part of this doodle. As usual you are very perceptive. The belt: Well in the beginning I was going to put straps and a sword holder thing on one hip, but it liked it more abstract and decorative. I'm sure that belt buckle had a hidden compartment with poison in it that she spreads on her blade.

Glad you think I'm perceptive--what a compliment! I like the poison compartment idea--very probable, especially depending on what sort of creatures she has to fight.

Well she better use that poison on someone who's blood she doesn't want to drink!

Not a fan of Chris Hart, but I really like your drawing. Good skill and I like how you kept her costume simple, but added enough little details to keep it interesting. The only thing I'd change about this is-- lower her top a tad; that much of an underboob is ok if it's from a "looking-up" perspective...the way it is now, even the slightest move would cause it to ride up and show her boobs (It'd actually look less disturbing if she weren't wearing it at all)

Anyways, great pic!

I'm not be facetious when I say Thank You for commenting on the under-boob. When I finished this drawing I though it was ridiculous. Your the first to say something like this.
It's just the way the doodle turned out, not too practical I know. Also I think the hairline above her bangs goes to far up. If she was to comb her hair back it would look like she had male pattern baldness. Drives me crazy every-time I look at it. Oh, well.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and giving my vampire drawing a look!

I have that magazine. It helped me draw a revamp of a character from an old Scooby-Doo movie. If I can get my friggin' scanner to work, I'll put it up on my page.


As for Chris Hart, I have a couple of his art books. They were really helpful in drawing my art. He has a page right here on DeviantArt: christopher-hart.deviantart.co…

Hay, thank you for commenting and taking the time to look at my drawing. I remember you. You draw cool eyes.
Yep, this is an old-school vampire. She sucks blood, hates the light, and listens to Nine-Inch-Nails. She's evil. But good taste in music if you go for that sort of thing.

I like her outfit, but that area makes her look almost androgynous.  I have yet to complete a drawing.  I keep starting something, then it doesn't look good and I have to abandon it.  Oh!  Shading's good, too, btw.

staino In reply to CrystalSabre [2014-01-04 08:18:18 +0000 UTC]

I meant to make her look androgynous. It just seemed right for the character. I do that some times with the women that I draw. They cant all look like Raquel Welch!
I really need to draw a curvy lady with hips though. Or a robust dude. You know the kind of guy that drinks mead, eats mutton shanks, and punches orcs in the face.

CrystalSabre In reply to staino [2014-01-04 18:40:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.  They're kind of like that in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, right?  So, that androgynous thing is intended?  Ok, then.  Maybe that could be your next project- draw a pin up type girl?  But... in good taste.

Reverse upside-down cleavage! Damned sexy, but only recommended for vampires, elves out-of-gravity space opera chicks!
Her sword is pretty cool too; is like a scalpel, ready to open some veins...

staino In reply to dlambeaut [2014-01-01 17:56:14 +0000 UTC]

I agree, that top would not work on another lady. Could be quite disastrous.
Heh, I'm glad you like the sword.

I'm imagining a buxom barbarían, jumping through the battlefield with this kinda cleavage... Gloriously disastrous!

Well, Thank you kindly!
Vampires are EVERYWHERE in pop culture these days. I have no idea what they are supposed to be any more to be quit honest. This girl, she is a person that kills other people and drinks their blood. I guess that makes her a monster!

*gasp* Underboob? How horrific. I am offended that you dared to reveal skin or show any kind of sex appeal. That is disgraceful, typical of your clear patriarchal.. uh.. stuff.

I'm just kidding. XD This is great. The ears seem a liiiittle strange to me, but aside from that I like this a lot! And the top isn't really all that ridiculous. I feel it can be flattering on a frame like this.

Heh, Sorry to oppress you with my patriarchal shame of the female form!
Aww, thanks so much for the kind words about my drawing though. Yeah, the ears are a bit weird. I just haven't figured out how to make little elf like ears look cute.

Otakatt In reply to staino [2014-01-02 02:41:35 +0000 UTC]

I think ears in general are kinda tough, so changing that into something else (like elf ears) can be... bleh. On the plus side since elves aren't real and by extension elf ears, there's not really a *wrong* way to do it, per se. It just comes down to personal tastes.

staino In reply to Otakatt [2014-01-04 08:06:46 +0000 UTC]

I was trying to give her cute little ears to compensate for her kind of harsh and creepy look. Though I now kind of like the idea of her having weird and unappealing ears. I bet she has weird toes too...

Everyone has weird toes though, because feet are gross. >
