Description Illustrated with Deleter #3 Black Drawing Ink and spotted with Brilliant Red Gouache with crow quill pen and brush on Strathmore 9x12 Smooth Bristol Board.

Another take on the Count. A variation on both the more romantic and more rat-like Dracula. I stayed with the more decaying and decrepit looking Dracula as portrayed by both Max Schrek and Klaus Kinski with both the look of the face and claw-like fingers while dressing him more elegantly in the style of the Dracula we're more familiar with in pop culture.

The reason for this is I wanted to give the impression that despite his rather deformed and horrific appearance, there is something very alluring about Dracula that attracts his victim. And also to give him that look of nobility despite his decaying appearance.
