My name is Belle Sheres. I am an independent filmmaker, animator, writer, and I like Vampires. This blog is to share my work.

It's okay, Elphaba.

I'm a huge Wicked fan. I wanted to make this because I feel like Elphaba has been through so much and I have always seen Scarecrow as the type of friend who will comfort you no matter what. So I wanted to portray a moment where Elphaba has a traumatic breakdown and Scarecrow/ Fiyero is there for her to let her know that everything is going to be okay. I also picture him calling her Fae like in the original Wicked book.

Today marks exactly one year since I first released this Friday the 13th-inspired crossover animatic! 🗓️

In the spirit of this year's Friday the 13th, I’m looking back at how far my animation style and character work for Ligeia, Thatcher, and Ezra have evolved. While this piece was inspired by Carrie and Friday the 13th Part VII: New Blood, it also represents an important step in my journey as an indie animator.

Since creating this, I have been hard at work developing my original series, Ligeia Blackwell. I am excited to bring this project and Vampire Detective to life!

This is a revised piece of a drawing I made for Lilith where she lures in a sailor and drowns him and collects the bones of her victims.

🧜‍♀️ Mermaid mythology: Killer Siren

This is Lilith, showcased in a vibrant, oceanic scene, with translucent skin, shimmering effects, and a delicate spine shadow. Her entire form is visible, from head to tail, amidst the deep indigo ocean, complemented by bioluminescent algae. The image is rendered in an art style reminiscent of Tim Burton, with dramatic features and a mystical, macabre charm, evoking a somber, dreamlike atmosphere.

Caught between legacy and identity, Ligeia Blackwell embraces her dark heritage. Inspired by the haunting elegance of Dracula’s Daughter, this piece explores the weight of an eternal burden and the struggle to remain human in the shadows. Bound by blood, defined by choice.

Mermay: Fairy Tail

Dark waters, darker secrets. 🌊🖤

Deep beneath the surface, my original character Lilith waits. For this piece, I wanted to capture a balance of macabre charm and mystical beauty—giving her an otherworldly, translucent glow and sharp, dramatic lines inspired by classic gothic animation.

Don't let the smile fool you; the skulls at the bottom are there for a reason. Safe to say, you don't want to get caught in her currents. 🗡️💀✨

Tea For Two

Experimenting with a touch of surrealism today. I wanted to capture something sweet and whimsical by playing with the bond between a mother and child through a teapot and teacup lens. 🫖✨

As an indie animator, I usually spend my time bringing my original vampire characters to life. My character Ligeia has a deep bond with her wolf, Fenrir—they represent protection and family to me. 🖤🌔

On my birthday (Dec 19), a bill passed the House that puts gray wolves and their pups in serious danger.

The Endangered Species Act is being challenged by H.R. 845. If this passes the Senate, it could bring back "denning"—the hunting of wolf pups in their dens.

I’m just one artist, but we can be a pack. The bill is in the Senate right now. Please don't let the dens go silent. 🕯️🌔

1️⃣ Visit Senate.gov to find your Senators. Ask them to vote NO on H.R. 845.

2️⃣ Check the comments for more info on how to help.

3️⃣ Share to keep the wolves safe and Tag a friend who loves wolves.
