I have been reading a series of novels by Colleen Gleason that have captured my imagination and inspired this deviation. So I have created this in her honour for keeping me up untill the wee hours of the morning jacked up on coffee because the novels were too good to put down! Waiting with baited breath for the next installment.
This is the Second Image that I have created, it depicts Victorias Nemisis, Lilith, the queen of the vampires and the daughter of Judas, who betreyed Jesus to the Romans. It is a close up of her face so that you can see her burning eyes with red rings of blood. Here is a description of Lilith from THE BLEEDING DUSK, you will have to tell me what you think and if it is a good rendition of her character: Lilith herself was arranged casually on a long chaise, her filmy ice-blue gown draping from her hip to the floor, leaving her white feet and arms bare. Her red hair, so shiny and bright that it appeared to burn, poured over her fair skin in sensual coils that reminded Max of the locks of a copper-haired Medusa. Although she had been on the earth for more than a mellenium, Lilith had a beautiful elfin face of a thirty-year-old, and a body that matched. Her pose appeared nonchalant, but a fleeting glance at her dangerous eyes told max a different story THE BLEEDING DUSK by Colleen Gleason The Author Colleen Gleason Has added my Victoria image to her fan art on her website and posted a bog about it, I feel so honoured for her kindness, she is a lovely person! You can view the Blog here: [link] Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth De Lacy is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jane Austen. She kicks butt in the 1800's. Saving the human race from Vampires and Deamons alike. A Very Captivating character. Here is the Blurb on the first novel "The Rest Falls Away". "Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the Vampire slayers of the Gardella Familiy, these immortal creatures would have long ago taken over the world. In Every Generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake. But as she moves between the the crush of ballrooms and dangerous moonlit streets, Victoria's heart is torn between Londons most eligible batchelor , the Marquess of Rockley, and her duty. And when she comes face-to-face with the most powerfull vampire in history (Lilith), Victoria must ultimately make a choice between obligation and love..." sinned-angel-stock for the main image that makes up the character Lilith, you look amazing!

One more thing
The Models Hair was already a light redish colour to begin with. I selected the hair with the quick selection tool (PS3), you can use the lasoo tool for a earlier version of Photoshop, and created a copy of that area in a new layer (right click and copy selection). I then went to Image>adjustments>Hue/saturation and moved the hue to a redder tone and increased the saturation. Dont worry if the colour is extreamly bright at this stage, you will fix it in the next step; It is just a matter of then changing the blending mode, at the top of your layers pallet, to multiply or darken, depending on the look that you are after.
Another thing you can do is create a new plain layer. Use the selection tool/lasoo to select the area that you want to work with. Now click on the new layer, this is the layer where you will be working. Your selected area will stay selected on the new layer. While it is still oulined choose your paintbrush and using the colour pallet, select a bright red. Paint over the area that is still selected, it will colour with that area and not go over the lines. Now all you need to do is to change the blending mode to multiply or darken, once again depending on the look you are after. You can then remove the selection outline by pressing ctrl and D.
If you would like to reduce the colour after that you can play around with the opacity slider. This goes for both methods.
You can use this for changing eye colour...clothing colour...anything you can think of.
I hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the books! Cant wait to hear what you think!
