Solina the Hidden
If you want to see/read this series of portraits from part 1, go here.
This one in particular is based on a photograph by Ellen Rogers, and I thank her permission to do so. Go look at her fantastic pictures. I also thank Jhayne who worked through the English text to give it the shape it finally has, and many thanks to readers of The Secret Knots for their comments on this experiment. Next time, it’s comics again!

I really love this series!
I was excited by the first one, and was then surprised to be even more thrilled with each new one.
Lovely! Thanks so much for showing them!

Very well done, I enjoyed this series a great deal.

The conclusion to your portraits was extremely satisfying. I was in no way disappointed by what was behind the door.

I very much enjoyed this series of comics you did, the entire set building up to this moment with Solina was brilliant. Your writing is just as beautiful as your art and I am thankful that you chose to share it with us all.

This is very beautiful, very well thought out and well executed…

Thanks everybody for your comments. I’m glad you liked the ending.

It’s odd to me how sad she looks, instead of insatiabbly cureous as described. Perhaps it’s just disappointment that the room is nothing special. Her existance does explain things though and that’s lovely.
Perhaps if I pleed convincingly enough you’d write a bonus of the count himself and his thoughts about being the shadow by the door and why he takes wives at all.
Please? I love a good epilogue.

The brides tales have to do with a bigger story I wanted to try at certain point, but for now this is the manifestation of that project. I can’t deny that there are still many secrets in castle Dracula to unveil, who knows. On the other hand, I tend to leave blank zones in stories. I’m currently writing a comic that has a lot to do with the untold in fantasy stories…
Thanks for your comments.

These 4 were beautiful, and I liked this one the best.
It’s always much more fun going in doors you weren’t meant to…
