Maksim (portrait of my OC) (Patreon)

Finally got around to painting my lovely Doctor Maksim Shaw, a vampire who is a bit of a freak of nature even among vampire-kind.

He's a complicated character, and I am incredibly embarrassed about sharing my writing with you all but I hope to work up the courage at some point if that's something people are interested in.  A lot of it is smutty, poor Maksim lol.

He performs medical procedures on vampires, which in my own vampire-universe are a little more alive than the typical vampires. Their bodies and strength wax and wane with the moon, and they are a little more like parasites in their nature. Maksim made himself into a vampire, technically having no sire, and walks a cursed existence as a result. He was once very kind-hearted but has long since lost his way after losing all hope in humanity. 

I have another piece in the works with him that's quite graphically gory, and I will put some kind of a warning in the post title so it doesn't jumpscare anyone. 

Hope you all are well, and thank you so much for all of your love and messages and comments.
