Hunger

I've been reading the first few books in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles series, and ended up being very inspired to paint a vampire transitioning from starving to revitalised by blood. They're not far from zombies when starving, which I find very intriguing (I just love zombies!), whereas they tend to possess a haunting beauty after having fed enough. Then there's all the frenzied hunger stages in between, which I thought was very fun to depict!

My main inspiration for this vampire was Lestat, naturally.

I can definitely recommend the books to anyone interested in dark fantasy/horror themes written in a beautiful way!
