Gothic Beauty is a classic portrait inspired by Roman busts and vampire movies. The medium is mixed–graphite on paper and digital coloring. A tribal dragon is tattooed onto the shoulder. The teardrops represent a perpetual sadness and loneliness from a life as an undead. (This concept stems from a Zulu story of how a cheetah got her tears).
