Firstly I have to say, great job with the pose. Vampirella's figure looks really good. There may be some fine little details in the anatomy which one may dispute on, but it does not affect the aesthetic value of the painting overall. The pose itself is rather expressive, it captures the unique characteristics of a vampire. By suggesting to the viewer a vampire dancing in the night, especially on a full moon night, one is told about her wildness; the character she becomes as night falls and left to their imagination to wonder about the life she lives.

As for the visual style, the coloring technique and coloring palette used is very befitting for such a scene. The bright reds of the cloth provide contrast to a pale night, warm (perhaps even hot) colors clash with cold colors, and yet the artist has purposefully not darkened them, as bright colors are usually paled and darkened in dark, gloomy environments. A very bold move, yet it all fits together in the end to form this piece of art.

The flesh tones are done nicely, the artist is bold and yet somewhat conservative in using shadows. The variation of textures also adds flavor to the painting. One can see very obviously the textures of the fabric, and also the smooth-as-a-baby's-skin texture of Vampirella's skin, which is also a painting technique used by the artist.

However, I feel that perhaps a little more work could be done on the metallic features, such as the gold jewellery. Perhaps it could use a little reflection?

For the background, a full moon is great backdrop for any horror/occult based paintings. And, I believe the artist has subtly incorporated a smiling skull into the full moon, suggesting something sinister about the painting. Also, what could go wrong with adding a few bats into the painting? However, in my personal opinion, the artist could've made the bat in front a little larger to show perspective,, while blurring them a little to show motion, that would give a greater impact on the viewer.

Overall, this painting would've made any fan of the Vampirella comic series proud. You have indeed done justice to her character.
