Vampires Galore! True Blood and Vampire Diaries Fan-art

True Blood kept getting better every week. "I Will Rise Up" is my favorite episode from the show's second season because it marked the beginning of Sookie's relationship with Eric Northman.

Since I love all things supernatural -- especially vampires-- I'm also enjoying The Vampire Diaries this fall. The CW has been releasing some wonderful promotional photos and I couldn't resist making a few icons and a banner.

The Forbidden Game and The Vampire Diaries

L.J. Smith wrote one of my favourite series of teen horror novels, The Forbidden Game. It was about an evil shadowman named Julian who fell in love with Jenny, a human girl, and was determined to claim her as his own. He engages Jenny in a dangerous game of "cat and mouse" where she and her friends must conquer their worst fears to win the game. If they lose, Jenny will belong to Julian forever!

It's been well over a decade since I read this series, but I still remember that basic plot outline without having to "google" it. That says alot for L.J. Smith's skills as a storyteller. I was heavily into the teen horror genre at this time and read quite a number of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike books, but if you asked me now what they were about -- I'd have no clue.

The Forbidden Game trilogy may be out of print, but you can still view the fabulous cover art at this fansite: LJS Cover Resource. Thanks to this site, I've been able to make some cool icons featuring Jenny & Julian from TFG as well as Elena and "the crow" from L.J.Smith's other fabulous series, The Vampire Diaires.

Vampire Diaries: Damon Salvatore Keeps Getting Better

The Vampire Diaries keeps getting better. Well, maybe not the whole show, but Ian Somerhalder's portrayal of bad vamp Damon Salvatore has. He's become the main draw of the show for me. No lame sparkling, animal-drinking vampire here, Damon revels in his vampire nature. (Apparently his mother never taught him not to play with his food.) He also brings the character of Elena to life. If the slap across his face is any indication, there seems to be chemistry between Damon and Elena. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Elena and Stefan. Their "epic" love story puts me to sleep.

I finally got around to making a few more icons from one of the Vampire Diaries photo shoots.


I've also finished a Damon/Elena fanart. It features lyrics from the song "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan.
