Count Dracula
Count Dracula as portrayed by Bela Lugosi in Tod Browning's 1931 classic "Dracula."
When I was but a wee monster kid I was Count Dracula for Halloween so many times that my mother eventually stopped buying me those plastic vinyl capes, and actually sewed a custom made fabric cape for me. To this day I keep a pair of glow in the dark plastic fangs nearby just in case, you never know when they might come in handy. You know the kind, the ones that involve constantly slurping the collected spit out of them so that you come off more like a geeky kid with a speech impediment then the prince of darkness.
In my book when it comes to vampires there has never been anyone who even came even close to Lugosi, he is the true Master.

You wrote a book? Cool.
I like this one more each time I see it. The shading, in particular is very effective, and those eyes really capture your attention, commanding you to do his bidding.
Great job on this one Rob! Lugosi is by far the best Dracula ever- And I also love his work in other roles, I just finished watching his "Phantom Creeps" series on DVD. You did an excellent job capturing his likeness here. Wow, do I ever remember those awful plastic fangs... Spent many a Halloween with those things stuck in my mouth!
That luminous eye is amazing. Good job, you really capture his personality.
