“For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome, possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.”

— Carmilla (J. Sheridan Le Fanu, 1872)

ive been wanting to do a few modern carmilla drawings since forever. if this was a comic, the pink saturation of Laura’s clothes would gradually fade as Carmilla’s courtship went on

’Portrait of a Vampire: Carmilla’ (2013) - Based on the eponymous character from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Gothic short story Carmilla.

Originally a traditionally drawn sketch with pencil and A3 cartridge paper, I painted it on Photoshop CS4. I’ve also found a new pet peeve in my artwork - painting clothes

"But to die as lovers may–to die together, so that they may live together."

I read Carmilla recently and I wanted to draw something about it… this got out of hand but I got to practice some background stuff!!

“In Styria, we, though by no means magnificent people, inhabit a castle, or schloss. A small income, in that part of the world, goes a great way. Eight or nine hundred a year does wonders. Scantily enough ours would have answered among wealthy people at home. My father is English, and I bear an English name, although I never saw England. But here, in this lonely and primitive place, where everything is so marvelously cheap, I really don't see how ever so much more money would at all materially add to our comforts, or even luxuries.”
