Eli/Elias art

Post by CyberGhostface » Fri May 26, 2017 5:46 pm

Not mine, found these at Deviantart. I thought it was interesting how Eli is alternately depicted as Elias in some of them.

There's a lot more from the artist here: http://michaelpinocchio.deviantart.com/ ... 8/vampires

As a warning some of the other work is NSFW if you're browsing at work.

Eli's vampire form:

This is exactly how I picture him after reading that passage from the book.
It is probably the best depiction of book's Eli.

I like those fan arts that try to represent the book's characters from the imagination, instead of just draw the actors from the movie.

PS: Perhaps she looks to pretty here, I think her face actually gets "monstrous/uglier/older" when she is fully "vampire" like in the basement scene.

According to Lacke, Eli was quite beautiful also in "full vampire mode"...
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

To me Eli looks beautiful all the time.Even when he has his "old" face on.He has an inner beauty that you can't hide. Although I might not be able to tell Eli directly,in case she's hungry. :D

Yeah but that was after the attack, in that very same scene:

The child got up on all fours, cat-like, preparing to lunge. The face changed
as the child drew back its lips and Lacke could see the rows of sharp teeth
glow in the dark.




Anyway, I think Eli's "old face" when he is a vampire or when she is "weak" would look more like a corpse than an old woman since she does not grow old, as Oskar described it, an Holocaust survivor, these vampires probably die dramatically as a decomposing body if they do not feed, so an "old / weak / dying" Eli would be like a corpse / mummy of a beautiful 13 years old boy, rather than a 200 years old "woman"
