*Disclamer*
Here is a quick little background on my vampire.
Lady Elizabeth Crofts, called Eliza by all that knew her, was an upper class woman born in 1757 to a rich and influential father and equally rich mother. She was beautiful, charming, well mannered and was everyone's favourite lady at every ball. She married Lord Primrose in 1778 at the age of 19 and although it was an arranged marriage he loved her nonetheless. Unfortunately the same could not be said for her. She respected him, as a wife is expected to do but never could bring herself to love him. Other than that it was a happy and respectable marriage. In 1781 Lady Eliza gave birth to her first (and only) son. He was named Alexander after her father. Then in 1783 she gave birth to another child, this time a girl, named Martha. All was well for a few years. But then tragedy struck. It was announced on the 7th December 1790 that Lady Eliza had died during childbirth and that the child did not survive. All of British society was heartbroken at her sudden death. Everyone was so grief stricken that nobody cared to look closer into her death. If they had perhaps interrogated the doctor (who may or may not of been bribed a handsome sum of around £50,000) they might of found out that Lady Eliza had not been pregnant at the time and had been faking her pregnancy. If they had paid more attention they may have realised that "her" body was merely the body of a lookalike. But luckily for our dear Eliza they didn't. She had gotten away with faking her death. She could now start her new life as Eliza Baxter.
This is going to be a really fun series! I am really excited to start making more portraits. If you have any questions about Eliza feel free to ask. Also feel free to post your own vampire through history series (if you are doing it). I will put Eliza on the gallery when I have finished this series. Although this series will mostly be portraits of her through history I might make some scenes soon. Anyway here are the portraits!

I will be posting some of her early 1800s portraits next. Please comment some feedback and perhaps some of your own vampire through history pcitures! Also I may post a few more 1700s portraits in the future.

Skin overlays can be a game changer, that's for sure! Which ones do you use?
And please, do let me know when you restart, I'd love to see the new pictures
