"Sumiko" Vampire Mom with Vampire Baby

I had the urge for another dark genre sculpture. I have taken a liking to Vampires and really wanted to do a Vampire Mom with a little Vampire baby.

It was upon me for a good challenge so I chose an 8" tall standing sculpture. She took about a week to finish to completion.

This is "Sumiko". She is a full sculpture except for her thighs. They are padded and wrapped in fabric as a soft sculpted area. This is to allow for some nice movement during her pose on her base. Her arms hold a tiny sculpted little baby boy vampire complete with his little fangs and wee little bat wings. He is removable from her hands.



Her hair is hand combed mohair locks in shiny black. Adorned over her hair is a silk gauze veil. Her necklace is red glass beads with a center swarovski bicone crystal.



Her base is painted wood and then added decorative trims. Sumiko is removable from her base. Her left leg has a sculpted inside brass rod for support and for her attachment to the base.



I really love her and all her creepy beauty. Her looks are a blend of beautiful innocence yet dark and creepy - a wonderful blend for a Vampire Mom. :-)



She will be available for purchase soon; either on Ebay or my Etsy shop. I have not yet decided where she will be offered --- however, I should know by Sunday. Until then I get to look at her a whole lot before I part with her. :-)

  1. She is amazing! You should start showing these in Dark Art groups girlie! People need to see these. You will be a great inspiration to others and I bet get some extra sales along the way!

    I am sure their are others out there but these are good starters. You will get great inspiration for sure too. I am a Dag member more for my Halloween stuff which really isn't dark enough compared to most of the awesome artists around me in that group.

    Take a gander!!
