Description

I was reading Dracula a while back, and decided to do a painting of Lucy. Lucy gets a bad rap in the movies--Movie Dracula is seductive, and so Lucy is a slutty slutty slut because she falls for him first and gets vampirized. In the book, Lucy is a wonderful woman, and her only real flaw is having idiot friends who are too stupid to actually protect her.

Seriously, the thing reads like Van Helsing and his cohorts have some kind of memory disorder. They keep leaving the near-dead Lucy alone, and either Dracula breaks in, or the house staff freaking LETS HIM IN by opening the windows in Lucy's room and taking down all the garlic because it smells bad. This happens again and again and again. Surely, you think, surely THIS TIME Van Helsing will stop being a baby and just spend the night in the room while Lucy's suitors search for Dracula and kill him. But no, nobody does that, and so Lucy has to die. Worst vampire hunters ever.

From what I understood from Lucy's character, she was the vivacious and lively one. She was as flirty as society back then allowed without her being considered a floozy. Once she turned into a vampire, my personal interpretation is that vampirism strips you away of your morality, and in some sense heightens your personality traits to the point of caricature. Dracula was noble and ruthless in life and in undeath he was even nobler and more ruthless. Lucy, being lively and magnetic in life, thus uses her charms as weapons to lure prey as a vampire. 

Anyway, enough character analysis. Very beautiful piece. Her hair looks like storm clouds, or perhaps those very artistically elegant and undulating plumes of smoke from a cigarette (or a volcano!), and the red flourishes in the background bring to mind of flames flickering on the ground as the smoke rises.  The red trailing from her lips a spirit or perhaps blood in mist form, or a jagged scar. A lot of elements to ponder on... ^_^
