Artist's Comments

I've wanted to paint this for... six years? Ages ago I attempted it with just Alucard and the fairy but this here was what I really wanted. There's something about Alucard and his familiars that just makes me happy. Maybe I get too into these silly games but I can imagine Alucard creeping through his father's castle, thunder roaring in the background, bloodthirsty hellhounds around every corner, deceit, torment, agony on his heels - and all his little demon familiar wants to do is push cool buttons while the fairy makes a comfortable perch of the half-vamp's shoulder as he broods over the castle map. It's just cute! And I love when cute things mix with macabre things. It's a... thing.

So here we have the fairy familiar tending to a tiny nick on her master's face with a bit of potion as the rest of their little party looks on, likely offering suggestions on how to get 200% map completion or bitching about how broken the shield rod is.

Wasn't going to finish this but after they announced the next round of the OmniArt contest at RPGamer I thought this fit the "Loyalty" option pretty well, so I pulled it out again and tried to fix what was bothering me most. It's very sparkly. Lots going on. Super ornate. Like Ayami Kojima and Kinuko Craft had a lesbian affair in Photoshop. Sticky.

Tending to Master by *ShardGlass is packed with details. Besides having a wealth of interesting things to look at, the color shading is some of the smoothest I've seen. (Suggested by ~shrela and Featured by `Aeires)

Good job, stranger. You just wasted 10 seconds of your life reading this, when you could have done something so much more productive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The fairy's wing, the hair, the handle of the sword, bat and skull are so detailed <3

I like it alot. The person in the back with white hair is beautiful, you have a nice border there, and that's one cool looking sword.
