Artist's Comments
Darren Shan's an ordinary schoolboy, until he and his best friend Steve get tickets to the Cirque Du Freak, a bizarre freak show featuring such arcane performers as Hans Hands, Gertha Teeth, the Wolf Man and Rhamus Twobellies. In the midst of the ghoulish excitement, true terror raises its head when Steve recognises that one of the performers -- Mr Crepsley -- is in fact a vampire! -D.Shan
=== Yes finally i made my 1st book illustration of Darren Shan's Cirque de freak my favorite vampire story! From left: Evra Von (Von what? ^^). He's a snake-boy, a performer in the circus. He doesn't do very much. Only appears at the end of the show w/ his pet snake. That's enough to showcase, by the looks of him! Mr. Larten Crepsley. A fellow member w/ a performing spider called madam Octa, using his flute. But he has a deeper secret that changed the story, when he was found out. i like what i did to his cape (ooh red), it was partly inspired by Maharo Maeda, director of "The Count of Monte Cristo" anime (w/c is a must watch btw, it has great new designs 4 a 1st in anime history). Mr. Tall. The owner of the Circus. He's s'  ose to be really tall (i think that's why i made look farther back). He's a psychic and an odd one once u get to know him!Darren Shan. Yes he's name is the same as the author's but they're totally different. 12 yr old Darren is the main character. When he finds the truth about Mr. Crepsley from his bestfriend in that circus, it changed everything. Steve Leonard. Darren's bestfriend and soon to-be-worst-enemy. Haha it'd be spoiling if i told you why. anyway Steve was the one who found out that Mr.Crepsley was a vampire.. that's where it all started. === Darren Shan, Evra von, Larten Crepsley, Madam Octa and Mr. Hibernius Tall (c) Darren Shan Concept/ Costume/ Color: yours truly Medium: Soft-Celshade mix Other books: DS1- you are here DS2- [link] DS3- [link] DS4- [link] DS5- [link] DS6- [link] DS7- [link] NOTE: Some shansters (as mr.darren calls the fans) will notice that i changed some colors (like mr.tall's costume or crepsley's eye-color) partly because it was hardly mentioned in the book so i just improvised. that's mainly my point here, i wanted it to turn out the way i imagined hehehe! the novel is really fun! I've read all the books except the last of the Saga.. can't wait till they decide to make it a film, just like Harry Potter and Series of unfortunate events. It'd bloody ROCK for sure!! |

The bite of a vampire sucks the life out of the living and transforms them into the undead once they pass away, an allegory for compromising with sinners and sinful behavior. A stake through the heart outright kills a vampire, for as Christ said, "Out of the heart comes murders, blasphemies, evil whisperings..." etc, and cutting off the head of a vampire is synonymous with cutting off the lifeblood of temptation, for as the apostle Paul said, the head nourishes the body.
<cough> In any case, nice work. I like Crepsley's cape in particular, but you might want to use a displacement map to distort the pattern on Darren's jacket.
