Is she a vampire bride? Or a vampire? Perhaps a ghost? Or just a normal person who wanted to put on an antique wedding gown and do a photo shoot at the local haunted mansion? 👻
#artistsofbluesky #vampire #bride #ghost #halloweenart
A digital illustration of a woman with light skin and long black hair, wearing a white and pastel pink wedding dress with puffy sleeves and lace gloves. She's sitting at a desk with a bouquet of pink roses next to her. There's a dark doorway in the background. A chair covered in a white cloth is pushed up against a striped wall, and a spiderweb hangs in the corner of the ceiling. The room is dark; two tall, narrow arched windows cast glowing light across the woman's face.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Ash, an illustrator who loves drawing people and using bright vibrant colors. I mostly draw as a hobby, but sometimes I dream about what it would be like to do something like this full-time. I don’t post often lol but here’s a quick sample of some of my favorite pieces!
