Ironically, people have historically paId good money to see a goo goo muck with blood spattered on her tits….so much so that it is an actual trope in the fantasy/horror genre.
Vampires are a multi-billion dollar industry. There are even emoticons for them here in this app.
🧛♂️ see?
So, some may think vampires suck (it was inevitable) but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And when fictional creatures persist for centuries…it’s for a reason.

That’s true. Especially vampire ladies with big bosoms! 😮

It’s art because: it’s made, it’s intended to be experienced, it’s serious (even humorous art can be serious), and it’s open to many interpretations, each of which complements the others. Technically it’s not well made, but much art is not well made.

Yes, my craftsmanship isn’t up to snuff in this piece, I have to agree, but I’m glad you are able to appreciate it as a piece of art, Terence. 🙂

Yep, it’s art, and I’m sure there’s a good explanation for the blood splattering.

Yes, perhaps someone else only accidentally bled on her? I guess it can happen. 😛

If Jackson Pollock’s paint splashes on canvas are art, so is your vampire chick. 😉 I happen to like it! Art is in the eye of the beholder and it’s not necessary for one to like it to call it art.

Thank you so much! I have sometimes considered taking up abstract art, but I like doing comics too much so maybe not. 😛

Breasts, blood are the original art of creation. The best we can do is replicate these miracles. Hence, art.

Most of us are all conceived and nurtured by the blood of the womb. Once upon a time, once born, we were nurtured, our creation sustained by mother’s milk. (Source of my perspective.) That vampirism, that feeding off the blood, just seemed to fit artwise. Interpretation is what art’s about, no?

Absolutely! And I must say that your interpretation is one of the more fascinating ones. I really like what you’ve seen in this!

Really? Thanks! I’ve appreciated art because I can’t draw a lick. I also believe that interpretation is a gift.

Pretty classic (and ambivalent) depiction of the devouring, intimidating yet alluring female. Politically-incorrect and outdated, but it persists. See Sirens, see Calypso, see… Rather than being harsh on the depiction (you’re just the messenger, right?) better look with ourselves male/female/etc. alike and ask the question why?
Too much thought?

Not at all! And I do think it begs a few pertinent questions in that regard, so I agree with you there.
