Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth
Collen Gleason Has posted a blog on her site about my fan art, how nice is that! I feel so honoured! WOW! You can view it here: http://www.colleengleason.com/wordpress/2008/11/19/gorgessity-2/
She has also recently given her permission for me to be able to sell this image as a print. So it is now available for purchase.
I have been reading a series of novels by Colleen Gleason that have captured my imagination and inspired this deviation. So I have created this in her honour for keeping me up untill the wee hours of the morning jacked up on coffee because the novels were too good to put down! Waiting with baited breath for the next installment. I have used the covers of her books as a template and tried to make my own version. I hope you like it.
Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth De Lacy is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jane Austen. She kicks butt in the 1800’s. Saving the human race from Vampires and Deamons alike. A Very Captivating character.
Here is the Blurb on the first novel “The Rest Falls Away”.
“Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the Vampire slayers of the Gardella Familiy, these immortal creatures would have long ago taken over the world.
In Every Generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake. But as she moves between the the crush of ballrooms and dangerous moonlit streets, Victoria’s heart is torn between Londons most eligible batchelor , the Marquess of Rockley, and her duty. And when she comes face-to-face with the most powerfull vampire in history (Lilith), Victoria must ultimately make a choice between obligation and love…”

Absolutely gorgeous piece! I saw it on the author’s website and had to check it out here (and your others-some lovely work). Would love to have a print of it!

WoW, thank you so much! It really is a pleasure and an honour for you to let me know! Blush
I would love to make it available for print, but I created it as a non profit image because Victoria is Colleens character, just would not seen ethical to capitalise on her talent. Send her an e-mail requesting it as a print, If she agrees to it then I can add it as a print for you. I am sorry for that. :(
But you taking the time to let me know has made my day!
I will be creating another fan art of lilith, so keep an eye out.
