Miss Lucy




“She lives beyond the grace of God, a wanderer in the outer darkness. She is vampyre, Nosferatu. These creatures do not die like the bee after the first sting but instead grow strong and become immortal once infected by another Nosferatu. So, my friends, we fight not one beast but legions that go on age after age after age, feeding on the blood of the living.”

‘Van Helsing’
BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA

This painting illustrates Lucy Westenra’s return to her tomb after abducting a child for feeding; her white wedding dress stained with the blood of the innocent. It is the first time Lucy’s vampire form is revealed after she was killed by Dracula.

the first three words out of my mouth : Jezuz Fu**ing Christ.... That's an awesome pic. Love it. I have a soft spot for the macabre.

Beautiful Painting!!
I really like the Darkness of the image yet sweet with the colors you choose, which looks really nice.
I really liked the expression and the composition of the contrast of the that red light from the top.
Great work Claudia! XD

Women. Bloodsuckers, every last one of them.....not that I'm bitter.

You really captured the vampire image here, that weird combo of horror/fear with sex appeal. I'm more a pin-up guy myself.....but lord I know a lot of freaks who are looking for a girl to literally bite their necks.....Honestly, what's with that?

Great work Claudia!
