A vampire painting made for an art jam. I retouched it a few months later to tweak and refine details.
Dani accepts a job given by a vampire. Her clan hunts some monsters like him, but seems like both are desperate: She is broke, and the vampire is dealing with some overwhelming, bad stuff inside his lair.
Spoilers: He is bad with contemporary human technology and needed to replace a burnt electrical shower head. They become friends. 🦇🍷
Software: Clip Studio Paint
This painting is up as a print in my store.
Development
During this challenge/collaboration we had a few days to come up with something inspired by AI-generated pictures.
One of the references seemed like a classic Castlevania cover to me, so I went for a vampire theme and painted a poster-like artwork. I didn’t use other AI images during the process, nor photobashed or painted over the reference image.
As I sketched the castle I thought about making the bloody/broken negative teeth shapes and I really enjoy how it turned out.
This event was hosted by Sulamoon, she is an incredible artist, inspiration and mentor figure — thank you! ♥

Vampire and vamp-hunter sketches
A woman writes that a vampire has hired her for a job. She accepted it because she is broke, but feels like she won’t return to her loved ones.
Fake letter text transcription
Oi,
Meu próximo trabalho é um vampiro.
Não é caça, não é para matar o cara.
O cliente é o vampiro.
Nunca vi isso, ninguém tá pegando a oferta dele.
Mas tô sem grana.
Ele diz que tem algo muito ruim no castelo. Pior que vampiro, pior que a gente.
Se eu não der sinal de vida até a próxima lua crescente, vende meus pingentes e paga a sua escola.
Ou vai fazer aquela viagem que você quer, tá? Aquela praia com as flores? Na real, faz o que quiser 😉
Desculpa, queria contar mais umas coisas, mas não posso.
Com amor,
Dani
Patreon
Patreon is a big motivator for my personal work and studies. I use it to share access to hi-res sketches, open .psds, art insights. and more. Please note that the rewards are distributed via Tiers.
You can find some personal projects in my tags and sites with writing, worldbuilding, tutorials, freebies, live streams and timelapses.
My Patreon charges when I finish a paid content package. It is done once a month maximum, or a couple of times per year.
When we think about Patreon what comes to mind is that it’s a monthly subscription, but mine is a bit different! I decide when to charge, and this allows me to study and organize work schedules with more ease.
You can also become a Patreon follower to have access to my public posts.
Thank you ♥
