While having some basic knowledge of the book might help understand more, I can still appreciate this piece. I am always interested by the way faces look in your style as the way they retain their shape while still being chaotic (if that makes sense to you) is most curious to my eyes.On a side note, vibrant and living colours are not very often seen with vampire related stuff, is such due to the fact he was a druid? I can see sime natural elements here and there as well.

colours are my thing, my menace so to speak.
Mael is a side character of the saga, so it's hard to find some resourcefull quotes on internet to describe idea.Β
There is this small episode in chronicles when Marius tells his story of how he became a vampire. He was a roman scholar, kidnapped by a keltoi druids, and kept for year or so, so he had had been prepared for the ritual. Mael was sort of his friend during that time, he teached him druid ways and so on. Tragic part is that druids didnt know that "god" of the tree, hidden inside sacred groove was actually and an ancient vampire. Mael as well as other druids were deceived, used to feed up the old one. Later on Mael became immortal which made him insane. He shows up later many hundreds years later in saga, but I didn't read that yet.
"old god" was egyptian, close line to Akasha and Enkil, first vampires, and I really wanted him to look like mummy, so he is almost like a bareboned skull, lying under mael, and I've watched queen of the damned recently and really hated how they presented Akasha, so her profile shows up aswell in left upper corner. Seriously, movie people don't know how ancient egyptians looked like?... most of the red spurts represent blood, which is a living thing kinda in this story, and i wanted Mael to look sort of terrified of how it surrounds him, and his hand is all bloody and it is a mess.
Well, ive became bored of it, so it is really unfinished...Β
Thanks for interesting comment as usualΒ

Fitstly I can tell you like those books and am grateful for the short explanation. Secondly I'm perplexed at all the little details you just pointed out. I legitimately failed to see many of them and am happy to see them now. Makes me wonder how many I've missed in your past works.
