His acceptance over Sein being a vampire is rather unbelievable and his mounting attraction and want for Sein all to himself even more so, which makes him feel out of place in a story that otherwise feels much more foreboding and intriguing. In contrast to Sein’s dark nature is Lou, a fairly light-hearted young man who takes quite earnestly the task of capturing Sein’s true form. And yet, Sein is terrified of what he would see if he could, the face of a hideous monster with all the trimmings: claws, wings, pulsating veins and fangs that crave the sensation of blood dripping from their sharpened edges. It becomes understandable in this regard why he would want to see someone paint of a picture of him when he’s incapable of ever seeing himself otherwise. Sein isn’t a gorgeous aristocrat with years to burn, but is instead tormented by his inability to see his own reflection.
Vampire’s Portrait takes a more sinister look at the life of a vampire, showcasing them as much more than just immortal beings with pointy teeth and a nasty thirst. June has been loving its vampire stories lately, and who can blame them? Modern-day vampires always seem to have this natural erotica that meshes in well with a darkly romantic plot. At first Lous sees it as a job alone but an even more intriguing revelation is made when the real reason behind his patron’s longing for a self-portrait comes to light. When a man called Sein commissions him to draw his portrait, Lou soon discovers that his patron is not only incredibly wealthy and generous, but he is also dead! Instead of being fearful, Lou realizes that he longs for the pull of Sein’s lips on his neck and doesn’t want Sein to drink anyone elses blood!”Ī portrait painter on the street, Lou is commissioned by the mysterious, Sein and given a place to stay in the man’s home until he can properly capture his “true face”.
In the age of patrons & artists, he longs for the day a noble will acknowledge his ability and support him.
Synopsis: “A starving artist, Lou sits on a street corner and draws everyday.
