The Vampire Louis

Finally! I made time to do my first Anne Rice fan art. Naturally, I decided to start with the Vampire Louis from the first in the Vampire Chronicle Series by Anne Rice - Interview with a Vampire. Louis is described as having long black hair and vibrant green eyes. He is eternally damned and spends most of his immortal life alone after losing his beloved child and fledgling vampire - Claudia. Louis is a character who has always been close to my heart.
I used a reference photo for this painting, - [link]
And a texture for the background and part of the outfit, as well as a brush for the blood stain on his chin - messy makeup brush
The rest is all painted in Painter and some adjustments in Photoshop Cs4
Just needed some practice
