To me it kind of seems like there is some orange around the moon idk...

Orange can be derived from red as far as I know.

"...make sure that your final result contains only tones of red, along with pure white and pure black. "

Orange IS a tone of red.

Orange is a product of yellow and red mixed together. It is not a tone of red in the sense that this contest states. If it were, then purple would be allowed as well.

Guess I did not have the choice, Jade Work Updated, thanks a lot for clarification.

Is there pure Black ? I am asking this question all the entire entries. Please tell me if there is pure black & tones of red not black.

Aren't you seeing the black of his robe and the black of the church's silhouette ??

strong image...gl

Good but IMO I would never say that this is a vampire

do u want some blood to believe?

nice.....

I dunno maybe, What I mean is that there is nothing in her that makes a vampire:she does not have pale skin, no sharp teeth. The red eyes could just aswell make her a monster or whatever. Good luck though

yup its nice work, bt doesn't give the feel of a vampire, good luck though

Nice job with the hairdo. Dracula's wife perhaps has some teeth prints in her neck (in case you'd like to add something more)? A HighRes version would be very appreciated! Good luck!

i dont know , maybe i loose a little bit the concept but i didn understand when the "twilight" make a new generation of vampire, this could be the next generation, who know....

She's certainly very lovely for a vampire. I like her a lot! It seems like excellent work, but of course I can't really tell due to lack of SBS's

Very nice image love the overall feel and the hair is superb personally I don’t think it need any thing else if its Dracula's wife then she would be a pure blood no fang marks……

if u view the source the composition was done whith , copy, transform, smuge, selective color, hue saturation..lots of clone for face and hair, again color and noise, levels to midtone dark and a elipse with 25 px fether...

Many thanks for the info......much appreciated will be looking forward to seeing this as a tutorial

Her hairdo is fantastic, it reminds me those ladies from old times. But the "Twilight" vampires have a paler skin.

If you didn't know the contest was "Vampirize" would you think this was the face of a vampire? I don't.

i agree with the above comments

Well I watch a lot of vampires movies and author, you nail it, WOW!!!! Really amazing work, it looks like the vampire bride indeed. No human have this eye color, it ireally shows elegancy, I love it!

I like this work very much,but IMHO she is more vampire from Egypt,have that mystic old Egypt look...well done author

Sorry but I agree with CMYK46. That does not look like a vampire.

It looks a lot like a Bran Stoker's Dracula recreation. It's not too original and yeah the old effect doesn't make for a vamp to me.

I think you need to credit some of the authors of the sources that you've used.

Some of the links are from a blog, and they're not usable. Please check http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

ummm, agree with the above comments

EVERY SOURCES ARE USED BY http://www.pxleyes.com/resources/free-stock ! CHECK IT !

Sources aside...."Your goal in this contest is to transform a person into a vampire using Photoshop".... I think this entry may be considered off theme

Ok. But as Geexman said, you have to transform a person into a vampire. GL though...

Looks more like the Return of Satan rather than Dracula and a guy who looks like David Arquette is probably not a good choice, IMO.

need to work on the lighting throughout the image, the sky is clouded and black, no sign of a moon so the castle shouldn't be so lite up. Dracula just looks kinda stuck in the picture as well...

Buuuuuuuuu! the light came from the lightnings and how do you know about more lightnings at both sides of the sky?
I guess you have never been at a lightning storm

what are you talking about more lightnings at both sides? buuuuuu right back. Maybe add some more lightning if you want the castle so lite up, cause a few forks don't create that much... yes ive seen a thunder storm, plenty in all my years to be honest. Why else would i give you a comment to start off with.buuuuu!

constructive feedback Keiley. I think shadowing at the base of the castle would provide a better feel .I agree although lightning provides heaps of light there are still shadows created..Take on board feedback author , it will help you develop your artistic skills. GL

The trees don't have enough contrast and too bright. I personally would just remove dracula. This dracula just doesn't really look like he fits. He takes focus off the rest of the image too much.

very nice
