Darling, Darling

Digital painting of Carmilla, the title character from J Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella. She is pale with dark hair and dark eyes. She is staring directly at the viewer, reclining in an ornate chair, and holding a rose in one hand, with one foot propped up on the chair. Behind her is a bay window, through which the viewer can see clouds and a full moon. She is cast in shadow. Cropped Close-Up
“Darling, Darling,” she murmured, “I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.”

This one was so much fun. Love getting to use the moon as a light source, love vampires, love getting to know a character and then getting to draw them.

Carmilla is such a fun character to have gotten to know, and her story is in the public domain if you’d like to get to know her, too.
