Vampire Coven by the Phantom Painter
hypothesis: vampires are magically vulnerable to light originating from the sun
observation: moonlight has no effect on vampires, despite being a reflection of the sun
conclusion: this aversion is not a result of light or its origin, but some property of sunlight only present in direct contact
hypothesis: vampires are extremely sensitive to uv radiation

note on backgrounds
- i’m not skilled enough on drawing detailed backgrounds yet so for now, that will not be an option. - the choice between having a white background, or full color background, or a white background with a colored shape, or anything like that, will be zero charge.
here’s some additional, important info!
- i only accept USD payment through Paypal invoices - it’s full payment upfront - i won’t start working on the commission until i get paid. - depending on how big the commission is and my schedule, it can take me from a week to 3 months to finish it. - right now, i’m only accepting up to 5 commissions at a time. this will probably change at a later date. - i’ll only post the final work if you specify for me to do so. otherwise i won’t post it, but i’ll still keep it for my portfolio. - once i get to the coloring stage of the commission (if it’s flat or full colored), it will be nonrefundable. however, before that, if you want to cancel the commission during the middle of me working on it, the refunded amount will be determined by how much work has been completed.
if you are interested in commissioning me, PM me here at @pinkbees or email me at lpbcommission@gmail.com and we can discuss things there!
- i’ll be PMing or emailing you with updates as your commission progresses so you can check to see if its going the way you like it + you can ask for revisions to the drawing
