Thanks Allerleirauh =) bloodsong: hmm, yeah, I guess I could lighten the explosion, although it would probably lose something if I tried that, methinks it'd be better if I made it brighter before I started drawing it in. Then again, I don't think this image is nearly exciting enough to waste the effort on fixing up that =) I'll just keep it in mind for my next picture grin as for a bullet or spike...shrug I guess thats up to your imagination. When I drew it I was picturing some sort of explosive ammo, so that even if the vampire doesn't get staked in his heart, he'll still be in multiple pieces but shrug I'm not an expert on destroying vampires, so a spike it can be =) hmmm... www.sluggy.com - an online comic, has a vampire hunting storyline, where the character builds a chaingun that fires hundreds of stakes a second....methinks I should equip him with one of those (oh, and check out the comic, it rocks) SewerRat
