#MeetTheVampires

[alexthebordercollie]

Some test animation for my orginal project Meet the Vampires. It's a sitcom about (as the name implies) vampires. The titular vampire family consists of youngest sister Vattira, or Vatti (age 15) middle child Valsa (age 89) and oldest sibling Clyde (age 340)

The three siblings are the children of the king of the underworld Severus who sends them to live in Massachusetts to get them out of his hair after one of his many spats with his oldest son. All three siblings have different but equally dead mothers and their father is generally a very distant figure in their lives. As a result Clyde functions very much as the dad of the show. This short little animation shows him snuggling with his human girlfriend, and mother of Vatti's best friend, Natalie.

I love these two as a ship. They're such a quirky odd couple with Clyde being the powerful and distinguished crowned prince of the underworld and Natalie being a redneck from Tennessee who's an EMT and single mother of two. Usually, the fantastically old brooding vampire boy is paired with some innocent doe-eyed waif or otherwise bland reader insert. Here we get to see a hard-working middle-aged mom get swept off her feet and it doesn't even cost her her independence or self-respect. -3-

Below the cut, you can see the pretty terrible piece of old concept art that this animation is a redraw of.
