^{"Been in pain for so long
I cant even say what hurts anymore
I will leave you alone
I will deny
I will leave you to bleed
I will leave you with your life(...)
You'll tell them where to run to hide
I'm already dead
It's a matter of time"
(Marillion - Afraid Of Sunlight)}


About a week ago, I was listening to Marillion (my luck - at Tv there was an old transmission from their concert :> ) and "Afraid Of Sunlight" just got into my head so hard that I had to draw anything connected to this song. So I did. Alexandrie Leroux and Gabriel Maria Vasquez (character for Vampire The Masquerade RPG). I was working on it for few hours a day. As You can see I redraw one picture of her (the small one - I think it looks more realistic that way), I had to work more on the shadowing and stuff. I also put the old pic of Gabriel. After that I thought : "You should draw something more" so I started with their faces. I'm actually very proud of Gabriel's face - he wasn't easy to paint. First I did everything in colour but then I changed it to b/w - it gives a better vibe like old criminal movies . Alexandrie was easier to draw, so her face took me about a day I think. I did used some ideas from Leon The Professionalist (especially her hat, I tried to draw lennons but after few hours of drawing I was having enough, so I erase them). After finishing whole picture I did some connections to the song (mostly part of the lyrics, cause I didn't want to paint dramatic pic or sth). And... I'm really happy with the resaults. I was working in Photoshop CS4 and Corel Painter and did some finish touches with Open Canvas ( God Bless school's licence D ) I didn't count hours but it took me about a week. I'm really happy with this picture.

Sorry was my art traders, I needed to do something before starting to draw for You ( mostly because I was really tired with my work, so I made myself a gift). I will start drawing for You as soon as possible. Thank You for Your patience.

Enjoy!
