Description
These are my original characters Radu Dragomir (left) and Grigore Lucescu (right) from my short story "Strigoi" [link] Please give it a read if you have a minute. I'd love some feedback.
I just wanted to put some faces to the characters. Both of them are supposed to be 18th century Romanian nobles. Radu's hair took me for freaking ever...
I changed Grigore's expression into a little more of a grimace because he looked kinda gay and swoony the way I had him. XP I've been trying to make my shading fall more naturally too.(For once) characters (c) Me!

By the way, do you think in a story can be a few types of vampires, as in Vampire Academy series?

I haven't read the Vampire Academy series, but yes, I think you can absolutely include different breeds or species of vampires in the same narrative if you like.

Whoa. This really gives a good idea of how Strigoi look. In the books, Vampire Academy, I didn't know if I was really scared or not of them (if I can't see something usually I can't get a good feel of the situation...might be that way with most people though), but if I saw Strigoi like this dude I would be scared. Is this supposed to be kind of based from Vampire Academy? From the Strigoi and names of your characters it seems like it.
That said, just wow. This is amazing. I like it, and the feelings it gives off, in all their mostly-terrified glory. The other feeling I have about the situation is intrigue.
Hahaha 
Obvious question, probably.....ah forget it. I'll just go read your story.

Strigoi, as in the creepy buggering vampires from the Vampire Academy series? lol Sorry, just gotten into that series, and that's the only other place I've come across the name.
Anyway, great colouring! And extra points for NOT drawing sparkly vampires.

Lol, no, I've actually never read that one. xD It's actually a Romanian word for spirits and undead things. The story is set in Romania, so it ended up being the title.
And thank you! X3
