i like it, but it's a little dark

lol on the title. And I agree with Tuckinator.

Agreed with both above....

very cool idea,but why is she cracked? i don't meant mentally...

Interesting chop. Maybe desaturate the skin a little to make it appear paler ? Good luck !

He's spooky, Cherish is right about the skin tone.

Thx I made it more pale..

Looks better. Just a suggestion though, Vampires don't have wrinkles and some skin imperfections, they just have the perfect type of skin, I would suggest removing all little imperfections with the clone tool, but that's just IMO.

Eyes and teeth are good and i like the Imperfections but that is more personally preference. The writing on the skin looks to be floating just above it, maybe try a simple overlay and then duplicate the layer to improve contrast, also adjust the orientation a very small amount mainly the writing on the forehead.

Thanks for the advice I'm working on it...

i really like the eye color

Very threatening. The skin tone could be a more ashen (less red). The tiny tatoos don't add anything IMO.

The eyes are about the only thing that make this a vamp..The teeth are just in bad need of a dentist more than anything. Although the in your face" effect you've created can be frightening and of a resemblance to a vamp, it just doesn't quite make it for me, IMO.

Nice idea great outside source, but the end result is a little too dark,

Damn,when man see woman like this...better to stop and to say only this "bite me,bite me please"......very nice work author,details are great.eyes especially...good luck

the photo is too dark

nice idea, the image is too dark

The image is dark because she is supposed to be in a moonlit night; the original image is sunny...

ok i get it ... cool job!

Nice image and clever title!

Excellent source for this contest with some great ideas about how to use it (coupled with a creative title). But the final result lacks drama because the lighting is so uniform. The shadow on the right (face and then onto hair) suggests moonlight could be coming from the left, thereby providing a cold light to illuminate the left while emphasizing the darkness of the right. Maybe the eyes could even glow a bit. I would be tempted to cheat and darken the back wall even if it is in the moonlight in order to focus attention on the face. Additionally, I think the bite marks on the neck are too big (go for subtle pinpricks noticeable only to those among us in the know about vampires) and the tatoo looks fake (a little more blue, a tad less opacity, slightly softer edges, a Google search—I don't know what the solution is).

PERFECT WORK ! G L

he's not sparkling like a twilight vampire..which would tell me ....he's about to burst into flames at any point in time. :lol: real vampires don't do sun. :lol:

he's kinda smurfish. the blue hue to his skin...

I guess you've never read the Vampire Chronicles, Jade. Maybe the author is referring to the scene in the 4th novel "Tale of the body Thief", where Lestat tried to kill himself by going out into the sun, only to realize that because he drank the blood of an ancient, he is too powerful for the sun to kill him, but merely give him a tan. I honestly thought of that of that part of the book when I saw this. But he does seem a little odd to be blue.

Vampire legions of all different imaginations seem to all have their own set of rules. Some of us just have to remember that.

nice

Looks like an Avatar vampire to me. LOL.

A paler color would be better...

good entry but why don't you try to add vampire teeth and delete the red from the pupil because it should be black. i will hold my vote for now good luck author

Thank you for the comment but I know a lot about vampires, and I like it when their eyes are red. As for the teeth, I'll see if I can add them later. Thank you again

What serialkiller means it's the irises can be red, not the pupils.

not a bat attempt well done on the skin too!

Very nice, but I think it could use more drama. The shadows on her face could be stronger. The upper right corner could hold a full moon coming through some clouds. (Obviously, some other light is illuminating her face.) Playing with the eyebrow and mouth shapes might make her more sinister.

Just looks like a woman who could use some Visine to me...

Please keep your stupid comments for yourself. I don't need them.

I got to agree with the author. Vampires should always be simple. Great job author, fantastic work on the skin.

I didn't know Carrot Top was a vampire. Too simple. Really needs more effect to convince, IMO.
