Entry for Competition

I seriously love Stefan Salvatore
Played by the handsome and talented Paul Wesley!

To me, this amazing character, Stefan, represents:
S=Strength
T=Temperance
E=Excellence
F=FANGtastic
A=Ability
N=Nobility

I enjoy Stefan's dialog sooo much and how he tries to speak with wisdom. Some watchers of the show may frown on that because he sounds judgmental, takes the high road or seems too uptight. But that's not it. This is where his Excellence lies and that's what I love about him. His Ability to be proactive and vampire Strength allows him to protect the ones he loves, even the humans of Mystic Falls. Stefan has Nobility in his carriage of the Salvatore heritage--he shows respect to others and he faces his challenges with his head up. One great thing I love is that he's repentant. All of us have done bad. And like Stefan, some of us are able to turn away from it, doing good.

Ohhhh, and the way Stefan loves Elena!
<div align="center"> The long juicy, wet smacking, hard panting, nearly uncontrollable kissing. YESSSS! Stefan and Elena are the most romantic couple on TV and I live to see their hands gently touching, sweet embraces, longing glances, and intoxicating kisses. I'm ready for some more! Yet, he can show Temperance when Elena needs freedom to do the things she has to. This virtue shines through even when she disapproves of his actions. He listens and speaks with fairness without jumping to conclusions.

This Stefan Salvatore aka Paul Wesley is on fire! He has that dangerous edge in his eyes and face. And...that gorgeous long slope of his face, those wing-tipped eyebrows, big inquisitive gray/green eyes, furrowed brow, perfect smooth lips, attractive long chin makes my stomach flip. There's no forcing myself to like him as an actor. And to top this ice cream treat with cool whip and a cherry on top is his voice. Love his voice..."Elena, I love you."

ohhh my goodness that HAIR! And then those ABS!

Everything on on his FANGtastic body fits PERFECTLY. You can even see his beauty through the hoodies, jeans, and tee-shirts --like those biceps and pecs. Then he has this bold-legged cowboy walk, which is so adorable...I noticed that in the Pilot when he talked with Elena as they walked across the bridge.

So these are my reasons why I literally enjoy Paul Wesley as this heart throb Stefan. (To add, I love the boy-next-door type of guy, mixed with the do-gooder who doesn't expect to get paid back. I even love the underdog because I've been one in life--taunted, teased and bullied.)

You can call this my Christmas or Birthday present to myself.

Paul Wesley - I love the way he interviews. He's down to earth, smiles and does arm gestures, talks intelligently with a mixture of laughter.

I don't do celebrities...mostly scenes from a movie or TV shows (Farscape, Twilight, and now Vampire Diaries). This time, I couldn't resist Paul.

I do my portrait commissions from photographs this way. Mixed media--color pencils, pastels, and a tad bit of acrylic for catch lights...in his...emerald eyes.

12"x18" Strathmore Charcoal tint paper.

Took a while...about 18-20 hours. Had to color in lots of layers.
