vampire overpaint manipulation

This picture was inspired by *kay-ness' photomanipulation tutorial. I wanted to try my hand at an 'overpaint' to see just how hard/easy it was. And I wanted to use the same stock as *kay-ness so that I could compare how differently the same stock/overpaint came out when done in two different styles.

I gotta say that it was really fun to do this! Took a couple of hours, and I played with Photoshop's liquify filter, and tried some new ways of blending, and some different brushes. So I learned something.
