Vampire's irresistible invitation...

More about Vampire's irresistible invitation...

Closely based on a prompt from Sinomine. Please check out her great work!


Prompt:An american shot/cowboy shot rendering of a hauntingly beautiful enchantress, dressed in rococo gothic couture, posing against a backdrop of a castle foyer in ruins. She is dressed in a gown of layered dark taffeta with gold embroidery and emerald jewels. Her hair is light blonde, loose and natural not stiff or styled -- down to the middle of her back and long in waves with long relaxed curtain bangs parted off to one side -- very Brigitte Bardot. She resembles a vampiric heroine from a 1960's Hammer horror film, with a slight resemblance to Barbara Steele. Her mouth is open to reveal sharp pointed vampire fangs, She wears a hooded cape of velvet with a red satin lining. Her skin is pale with dark eyes, full red lips, thick lashes and cat's eye liner. Her thick groomed brows are arched and she looks at the viewer with an alluring blend of imperiousness and evil intent. One eyebrow raised, mouth slightly parted. She holds one arm up directly straight to the viewer - inviting them into her mysterious world using foreshortening for a dramatic effect, her fingers motioning in a come hither motion. Her fitted gown has a deep v-neck with obvious décolletage and the skirt is a-line, revealing a pin-up's hourglass figure. Moonlight tries to break thru the ominous clouds seen through the large imposing windows. The mood is one of decaying grandeur and innocence lost. Style: mid-century retro gouache illustration, vintage editorial comic art, bold expressive outlines, simplified elegant forms, flat graphic colour blocks, limited warm palette of cream, black, muted coral red, ochre and dusty blue, subtle hand-painted shading, period-appropriate illustrated environment where relevant, strong graphic perspective, stylised characters, vintage print texture, distressed ink, imperfect registration, aged paper,
