ERMES sketch page
🕑 Added 2021-09-29 19:02:00 +0000 UTCPOV: you’re a Vampire lusting after your Human owner, but you have trust issues and you’re afraid he doesn’t consider you “alive” enough.
Facts about Unlock: In this dystopic, vampire universe, “corpse” is a slur often used to humiliate Vampires. It’s indicative of the prejudice, the disgust some humans feel for these beings. Humans such as Ermes’s mother, Demetra Lauda.
Demetra raised her three children with unconditional, overwhelming love in a city that once belonged to Vampires. She was the leader of the insurrection that purged the city and now her power there is unquestionable, as much as her beliefs, especially regarding filthy Vampires. The young Laudas abide by them... or at least should.
For Marzio, the firstborn, Vampires are nothing more than objects he can mistreat and discard whenever he wants. Other than enjoying himself a bit too much, he makes his mother proud.
But not Artemisia, the rebellious second daughter, who greedily owns two Vampires. They’re tied to her by a passionate, morbid bond that she’s not afraid to flaunt, most of all in front of Demetra.
Ermes doesn’t understand any of this. He sees vampires as people, a bit more frightening, yes, but he’d say he’s used to fear, with a mother such as his. He’s never wanted to own a Vampire... until he had to. And now he’s resolute to show Dario respect, to maintain their relationship professional. Keeping his distance, if necessary. Sometimes even too much.
Sometimes, Dario doesn’t understand what passes through his mind and he worries that Ermes’s gentleman act is just that: a cool façade on the verge of breaking if Dario dared to touch.

Ermes can be very intense, sometimes! He has a whole package deal of emotions storming inside him, though he tries his best to not let them show~ 🧡

God, that one where he's looking straight at the 'camera' is killing me. Those bedroom eyes.

This is the best I could hope for when I started sharing Unlock with you all 😭💘 I'm so incredibly glad and grateful that you're liking this universe so much that you find yourself thinking about it from time to time. I hope to keep fostering this interest with every new update!! 💖
Loveisinthe AIRA
Ahhh omg!! This makes me so happy 😭 I really hope to be able to craft this story into a book one day, and of course I hope you'll enjoy it! 💖

You're a man of culture, Peter 👌💞

THE BACKSTORY THOUGH?! Sometimes I catch myself just wondering about this world, these characters, the story, so learning more about the family is insanely exciting!! Also, the emotion you capture in every piece of art of them is beautiful. 💕 💕 💕

Every time you post about unlock i get so excited!!! What an interesting universe you have created 😍 This synopsis here especially sounds like the back of a book I would find at the bookstore and toss in my basket without a second thought because I couldn't wait to read it!

while Dario *is* my fave of this duo, one cannot deny the attractiveness of a man with a pert little tush in a nice tight vest/waistcoat/corset... 😍💕
Andie
No worries Aira!!! I love learning about your characters and the Unlock universe!! You are seriously a wizard with all the beautiful art we get to see from you each month!! 😍😍😍 I’ll be patiently waiting to see more original work and love everything you do!! 💕💕💕
Loveisinthe AIRA
I'd literally love to start doing it tomorrow 😭💗 But it's hard to find the time, between all the other things I gotta draw, the online store and cons 😔 Though, I wish to be able to gradually dedicate more and more of my time to Unlock, while y'all get more attached to this story (hopefully) and might end up wanting to see 50/50 of fanarts and original art! That would literally be a dream! But it will take some time, I guess? 🙈 Meanwhile, I'll keep basking into the comments y'all leave me under my Unlock pieces, and I'll keep being motivated while slowly working on it!! 💪 Hope you can be patient along with me, too 🙏💘
Andie
Will you be writing a novel about them soon!?
Andie
God he’s so pretty!!! 😭❤️
