Description
I've seen "Dance of the Vampires" on Sunday in Stuttgart (the original European version based on the movie by and also directed by Roman Polanski, not the awful stuff they made out of it on Broadway) and this one is based on the promo pictures hanging all over Stuttgart.Elijah (my Vampire OC) and Alessio, a young Lycan. It's awful how well they fit as a couple since Elijah is actually meant for a fellow vampire... but I just love those two together. ^^*

Was the choice of clothing colour deliberate by the way? Light (the young, innocent shapeshifter) and dark (the centuries-old vampire)

In the story Alessio is far from being innocent, at least in the sexual way, but the choice was deliberately

You've been spending a lot of time lately portraying Elijah when he was young and - a strange word to use about a vampire, I know - vulnerable. I say "vulnerable" because when I read the comic book, I don't see someone who was in control of his own life. Even as a vampire, he was the man that his father's actions and choices had made him, not the man he had chosen to be himself.
This Elijah isn't physically older, but he somehow *looks* older. He seems powerful, self-assured, and in control. And seductive, in the Henry Kissinger sense that power is an aphrodisiac. Alessio looks innocent and vulnerable here, but Elijah looks like someone who has seen it all, done it all, and learned painful lessons from most of it. He thought when he became a vampire that his new power would fill the void left in his soul by Keith's murder. In the comic book, you can tell from his grieving expression that it hasn't. In this picture, it looks as if, some time in the centuries since he was turned, it has - at least partially.
Aside from character analysis, I should add that it's a really beautiful composition
Stuttgart, huh? Do you have an opinion on Stuttgart 21? (If not, why not, everyone else does

*lol* Stuttgart 21 even made it across to you? After seeing the main station of Stuttgart I still think the underground station is a huge mess of wasted money they should be investing into renovating the existing station like they did in most towns around my area. The station looks awful, ugly 1950s atmosphere ^^* Building a complete new one underground which is less efficient than the actual one is total nonsense.
You're right about Elijah's impression here but I guess it is slightly out of character. The real character may have overcome his depression about Keith's death but still is far from being in control and powerful. He's egocentric without being aware of it, unable to say that he was wrong and he acts without thinking about the result, ending up hurting people more than often. The only ones who always stand by his side are Elisabeth and later his best friend Francis who just knows how to take his difficult friend.
But I just like seeing Elijah in the traditional dark and powerful vampire role so that's why I made this one
It's based on this: [link]

I read about Stuttgart 21 in a news magazine a couple of weeks ago - I emailed you the article.
I thought last night that it seemed a little out of character for how Elijah really is, but if I were looking just at the picture without knowing anything about him, I would have guessed that he was a powerful, self-confident vampire lord.
I think your version looks better than the one you linked to, by the way
