Zero x Kaname Doushinji

In honor of Halloween, I’ve decided now is a good time to put up a few pages of a little project I’ve been working on. It’s kind of my own little Vampire Knight doushinji. I warn you though, I’m not an artist, I couldn’t draw to save my life, but I’m pretty good on the computer. So I worked with a 3D modeling software and photoshop to try and create a comic/manga look. Unfortunately, Kaname and Zero don’t really look right *sigh* but they’re kinda close, at least you can tell who they’re supposed to be. Soo… please don’t comment to tell me my art sucks, but feel free to comment about anything else. ;)

Haven’t made a cover page for the story yet, or decided firmly on a title, but right now I’m calling it “Your Sins into Me” after a verse from the AFI song “Silver and Cold”. (Which would also not be a bad title actually… “Silver and Cold” I mean, as Zero is silver haired, and… okay, we’ll, we’ll see.)

WARNING!
This is pretty much going to be a PWP / Lemon. Right now, these initial pages are pretty tame, just some hot and heavy blood drinking. But later pages when I get around to posting them will be quite graphic as this is gonna end up a hard yaoi story. Which means slash, which means m/m sex. Which means don’t look or read if you are under the legal age to do so or if that totally turns you off. ‘kay? (Don’t worry, when that time comes I’ll put appropriate warnings all over and you’ll not be able to see anything unless you intentionally click through to see the images in question).

Click on a thumbnail below for a full sized page. Just so you know, I did these English style, so you read them left to right, not right to left like normal mangas. A lot of work is going into these, so if you take a look and like what you’re seeing, I’d really like to hear your thoughts. :)

This is the first four pages. I’ve got all the images rendered, but I’m still photoshop-ing them and laying out the individual pages whenever I have time around work, life and writing on my fanfic. So I’ll post them as I get them done. If it looks like anybody’s actually interested in seeing more anyway.

Disclaimer… I don’t own Vampire Knights or any of the characters therein, no money is being made off of this.

Here’s those lyrics I was talking about before:

I… I came here by day,
I left here in darkness
and found you, found you on the way.

Now, it is silver and silent.
It is silver and cold.
You in somber resplendence,
I hold...

Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one,
Your sins into me.
As a rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me, your sins into me
oh, my beautiful one.

Life, like the flutter of wings,
feel your hollow voice rushing
into me as you're longing to sing.
So I… I will paint you in silver.
I will wrap you in cold.
I will lift up your voice as I fall.

Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one,
Your sins into me.
As a rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me, your sins into me
oh, my beautiful one.

Cold in life's throes…. I'll fall asleep for you.
Cold in life's throes… I only ask you turn away.
Cold in life's throes… I'll fall asleep for you.
Cold in life's throes… I only ask you turn
as they seep into me,
oh, my beautiful one, now...

Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one,
Your sins into me.
As a rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me, your sins into me
oh, my beautiful one!

--AFI, “Silver and Cold”

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! If this isn’t an appropriate holiday for VK fans, don’t know what is. :) Still wearing my fangs. Had two people think they were real yesterday. One guy was trying politely not to be freaked out LOL and the other tried to pick me up! Said he knew a great blood bar downtown… thought he was joking at first but it turned out he wasn’t. Guess he really does drink blood… o.O Ummm, yeah, I didn’t accept. Confirmed blood tablet user over here! *sweat drop*

Bite Me

Well, with Halloween around the corner I've decided that gives me licence to have a little fun. I purchased some quality vampire fangs from http://www.vampfangs.com/ (the subtle fangs made by Scarecrow, which consist of two individual caps for your canines that you can custom fit yourself. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to do Vampire Knight cosplay by the way, as they are nicely understated, work really well and as long as you don't smile too big they really do look like your real teeth).


Okay, sorry, didn't mean to sound like a commercial there, but as you can tell, I'm pretty pleased with my fangs. Anyway, the point was that I've decided to wear them all week, everywhere I go, and see how many people even notice. They're not at all uncomfortable, I've almost forgotten I have them in already. I think the first to notice was the guy at Starbucks who took my order this morning. He didn't say anything, but he was definitely looking and was trying to repress a smile. ;)


Wanna see what I'm talking about? Caught a couple of pics below to share:




Nice, huh? Well, I'm having fun with it anyway. :)

Waiting, Waiting...

Well, like all other VK fans who follow along through scanlations, I am impatiently awaiting the release of the latest installment, Vampire Knights chapter 33. It's published in LaLa magazine in Japan already, always is somewhere in the last week of the month, but I haven't yet found the raws for it, and of course the scanlated version won't be available until sometime next week or the week after. *sigh* Makes one wish they could read Japanese. Especially since every now and again when I come across a puzzling turn of phrase, I just have to wonder what was actually trying to be said there, and if it might not have come across differently in the original form. Ah well. Irritating thing is I actually have a friend who can read Japanese, at least enough to get by, but he's not into Manga, so I'm out of luck.

Another random thought brought on by the magazine title: La La in Chinese means "Grandma" (on the mother's side). La in Arabic means "No" and in French means "the". I wonder if it means anything in Japanese?

A Note on the Title

The title of this blog was taken from one of my favorite songs by H.I.M, which I think fits the Vampire Knights series like it was made for it.

"Vampire Heart"
by H.I.M

You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song (You're so alone)
All faith is lost for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame (Just be brave)

Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong until I feel your warmth...

Hold me like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'll be the thorns in every rose
You've been sent by hope (You'll grow cold)
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love (Just like before)

Let me weep you this poem as Heaven's gates close
And paint you my soul, scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Hold me like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Hold me like you held on to life
Like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
My vampire heart

Love me like you loved the sun
Like you love the sun
Scorching the blood in my, my vampire heart


Actually, a lot of the songs from H.I.M's "Dark Light" album are very apt for the series. Perhaps I'll post more later. Anyone else have any songs they think are particularly fitting? Love to hear 'em.

And so to begin...

Well, first post in my new blog. Welcome to My Vampire Heart everyone! Yeah... I know... all 1 of you... LOL ;)

Anyway, this site is dedicated to my current obsession with the Vampire Knights Manga series by the wonderful Matsuri Hino. Here I will post fanfiction, pictures, news and anything else about the series that I come across that I think might interest people. Specifically, this blog will focus on all things related to Kaname Kuran and Zero Kiriyu who are my two favorite characters from this series.

My hope is for this to become a place for people to find and share ideas, thoughts, fan works and anything else they'd like to relating to Kaname, Zero or Vampire Knights in general.
