well, not much of a classical Dracula..went out to get some dieselpunk-style clothing for a change

tons of awesome paintings this week, good luck all!

wip 1 - wip 2

Images of Dracula have been somewhat altered from Stoker's original description.  So I have gone for something closer to the description given early in the book.  You need to look in order to realsie that something is not quite right....

Thanks for all if the suggestions they were right on but alas, my time is not my own. As Jonathan Harker  was  captive in that horrible chamber, I too have succumb to the demands of my cubical and my place therein. This was a lot of fun and I appreciate everyone’s help.

Nod at Stoker: red mist, wolves, bats, rats, brides, red glowing eyes and lips, thin tall, white mustache.

Heres my final entry, hope I'm in time, thanks for the critique during  the creation phase everybody en good look in the contest, ( the pics look awesome..!)
