Books Describe Vampires As Extremely Pale Skinned...

Thanks so much Aglaia! Glad to hear I’m not letting down the overall standard lol! This one was simply fun – now that I’m able to keep up with my daughter in conversations about the plot line of ‘Twilight’ and all kinds of stories of vampires – much to her delight :)))

Thanks heaps – I just had to come up with something a little more ‘subtly vampirish’ lol :)))

A ‘bit’ of colour she says??? A BIT??? This is several layers of 100% Super brightest orange / red!!!! (and green, and purple, and blue, and cyan, and…. I forget what else…. but A ‘BIT’? And don’t you think it’s more elegant than ‘fake blood’ lol ;)))

Thanks Matt! I like the hair too – turns out ‘vegetarian vampires’ only hunt mountain lions and bears, they don’t kill humans… though there’s plenty of ‘almost getting killed’ – and there are distinct advantages to being able to see glimpses of the future trends in the stock market when you are immortal LOL ;)))

Thank you :)))

Thank you! It’s really the same image, just formatted to different dimensions, and a slightly different crop to make it fit better – this is the original :)))

Thank you :)))

Thanks LEGIONXIII – thanks lots for visiting :)))

O super BIG thank you!!! I’m really pleased – this is a slightly ‘new’ tangent for my work – it’s so great to have it honoured in your group :)))
K xx

Thanks ;)))

Thanks :)))

Thanks Jen – this one was fun to do :)))

Thanks so much Tania! This was kind of a spontaneous thing – not quite what I was planning to do with this image – but my daughter really was so happy I read the books – and it just kind of came out this way – and it was just FUN to do :)))
K xx

Thanks LOL…. I know the usual is more the deep black though ;)))
K xx

Thanks lots friend ;)))

O wow! Thanks Jan! That’s great!
K xx

Thanks Tasha – this one was fun :)))

Thanks so much Jayme – I really enjoyed doing this one :))
K xx

Thanks! Yes I agree – and glad you like it :)))
K xx

Thank you very much – and especially glad you like the shot too -I only use my own photos :)))
K xx

Thanks! My daughter is a big fan too! She is really happy I can now have at least vaguely reasonable conversations with her about the books :)))

Thank you for the info re past associations with ‘red hair’! It’s my daughter who is the REAL ‘Twilight’ fan (she’s 12)... And, as I think I’ve mentioned, this image really was made just for fun – I’m very happy you like it ;)))

Thanks very much Sherene – the supernatural world is a great one to escape to – isn’t it :)))

thanks lots Pip! This image was really just fun. I quite liked the books – they are certainly well-written, and yes, there is TONS more character development (they’re VERY FAT books too LOL)... Though – I found them a little disappointing in the end, as despite heaps of massive suspense and terrible things about to happen, NONE of them ever do and it’s totally super happy endings all around. I’d never thought of this before, but I feel like a little ‘tragedy’ IS needed to balance the overwhelming ‘happily ever after’... (though some of the characters are so cool – I think I’m a bit of a fan anyway ;)))

Thank you Ingrid dear – I’m really pleased it ‘works’, as it isn’t a typical ‘vampire’ image ;)))

Thanks Colleen – It’s pretty potent, isn’t it lol ;)))

thanks Cathleen – I think ‘classic looks’ can at times become a little cliche (maybe)... and thank you for your comment re the composition… I actually focus very strongly on that aspect of my work, and, though I think I ‘know the rules’ etc, I go much more on ‘feel’, and only refer back to what I consciously ‘know’ if I feel something is not working…

Thank you very much – and if I’ve contributed to you being inspired – that makes me VERY happy :)))

Thanks Shoaib! I just COULDN ‘T make myself be ‘blatant’ on this theme lol… And – yes, the books ARE better – quite a good read. But – IMO they have 1 major deficiency as well… a REALLY powerful story just CAN’T be ONLY and TOTALLY a perfect supernaturally happy ending, where – despite heaps of massive suspense – absolutely NOTHING REALLY BAD actually ends up happening in the end….. Bit ‘too good to be true’ for me lol ;)))

Thank you so so much for your lovely comment parmi! i just COULDN’T make myself do the ‘fangs’ bit lol ;)))

Thanks so much BofRed! you’re actually right – this image was shot as part of the big shoot I did for the ‘Control’ series… I just started mucking around with it as I had commented I might start making pictures of vampires after reading the Twilight books while my computer was in hospital… I’m glad you think it’s beautiful – it feels a little strange for me, as the colouring – to make it go with the ‘vampire’ fun theme – is very unusual feeling for me. i’m very happy to hear from you that it has come out well :)))
Thank you!

Thank so much! It was fun to do :)))

O wow – that is so cool Pip! Thank you – what an honour!
K xx

Thanks so much! The books are a pretty good read, aren’t they ;)))
K xx

Thanks very much! Even though this doesn’t really match any of the Twilight characters?
But it sure was fun to make ;)))
