He looks twenty-one. He has been twenty-one for a hundred years. Sebastian is one character carried across an ordered season of scenes rather than a set of unrelated portraits, and the frames are meant to be read in sequence. Strawberry-blonde hair past his shoulders, pale freckled skin, a pendant on a black chain he is never without, and eyes that shift from gray to gold to red as the hunger rises. The camera follows him through gothic libraries and mirrored ballrooms, down black marble stairs, out into fog and churchyard, sometimes in a plain black shirt and sometimes with dark membranous wings filling the frame behind him. Some scenes are quiet enough to be a portrait. Some have blood on his mouth. Created by Jeff Dupler, AI assisted with Flux Pro or MidJourney, and Photoshop if needed.
