With Halloween<\/strong> just around the corner, I’ve got a few materials to deliver up until the horror-fest begins. Like a lot of designers, a blank piece of paper (or screen) is scary (no pun intended) and great ideas don’t seem to flow well on some days. Well, I’m having one of those days, today.<\/p>\n To help me get out of my jam, I thought I’d take a look at some talented individuals in hopes of getting some inspiration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Dracula<\/strong> is by far my favorite horror character. For a kid, someone who changes into a bat, sleeps during the day, and terrifies people with blood sucking fangs during the night, this is as good as it gets. If you were like me who grew up watching old vampire<\/strong> movies, you would recognize the dear Count\u00a0as Bela Lugosi<\/a>, the actor who played the original Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler<\/strong> made famous by Bram Stoker’s<\/a> novel.<\/p>\n So for some of you who might be working on a couple of Halloween designs<\/strong>, check out some of these impressive illustrations and drawings that pay homage to my favorite character.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I absolutely\u00a0love the style and charm of\u00a0Sixo’s rendition of Dracula. Check out his entire horror monster collection from his portfolio titled\u00a0Halloween is coming<\/a><\/p>\n This version of Vlad is one of my favorites on this list. The sombre green hues and the look on Vlad’s face fits the ominous mood of the festivities. More of Daniel here<\/a><\/p>\n I love the colors and layout and how 1930s this Dracula poster looks. Awesome rendition by\u00a0Gregbo<\/a><\/p>\n Alan’s illustration of the Count is addictive. I love the thick outlines and pastel skin color. This is the result of watching too many horror movies from the 50’s. Check out more of Alan’s\u00a0stuff<\/a><\/p>\n Azad’s got some awesome processes from illustration to digital artwork. I like how this is drawn from the side. It really gives you the imagination of how sinister he looks from the front. Check out Azad’s entire process\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n I love seeing work processes from start to finish. This one by Rockcopy is absolutely awesome. The\u00a0entire suit, smirk, iPhone and Batman utility belt makes this one of my favorite character rendition! See more of\u00a0Dracool<\/a><\/p>\n Courtney’s got\u00a0some really good technique on this piece. This detailed work of Mr. Lugosi is a combination of micron pen, amazing stipple work, and ink washing. Mad props. See more of Courtney’s work<\/a><\/p>\n Amazing character design from Corina. The octopus-like beard caught my attention first and can’t help but notice it’s Asian influence – rosy pink cheeks and samurai style wardrobe pattern. See more unique stuff<\/a><\/p>\n For most gamers, this next version of Draco should be more familiar. From the game\u00a0Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow II, this concept from Daniel really brings forth\u00a0what the demon child\u00a0is\u00a0all about. Amazing illustration! See more of Daniel’s\u00a0work<\/a><\/p>\n I love the amazingly resemblance to\u00a0Bela Lugosi. Really digging the fine lifework, bulging eyeballs, and subtle shadow work over the face. Great character design by\u00a0Andres<\/a><\/p>\n Another favorite of mine. This digital painting of Bela\u00a0is absolutely stunning. Love the color combination of purple eyes and greenish – teal face. Check out more cool<\/a>\u00a0from Drew<\/p>\n Gabby did these amazing print ad illustrations for Tabard Mosquito repellant. I like she’s manage to capture 3 versions of Draco. Great monochrome work! See more here<\/a><\/p>\n I really hope\u00a0this\u00a0awesome sketch work from Aurelio will be\u00a0made into a graphic novel some day. Really admiring the\u00a0shading and color sequence. See more of Aurelio’s\u00a0sketches<\/a><\/p>\n I love that Dracula’s got more up his sleeves than bats. Sweet rendition by Will – I appreciate that it isn’t done in the typical way. Great\u00a0work<\/a>!<\/p>\n I would love for this to go on sale! Sapip’s got an awesome concept with the bats flying in. Also loving the excellent\u00a0shading and ink work. Great version of DRACULAAAAA<\/a><\/p>\n Another homage to Bela Lugosi, this time by Jeff Busch. I just love the intricate details and texture of the face and hair. Jeff’s got a series of portraits done up of the Halloween greats. Check it out\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n I knew I had to feature the\u00a0Soul Dracula<\/a>\u00a0by Tina when I saw it. At first I thought there wasn’t going to be anything underneath that cloak. Thanks for keeping it PG13, Tina. I’m digging the black Converse, too!<\/p>\n Another tribute to the great Bela Lugosi. I love this\u00a0realistic rendition by Vinicius done entirely with color pencils. See more awesomeness\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n I love this version of\u00a0Vampyr<\/a>\u00a0by Chris. The sinister look, the grainy texture, the fangs, the long sharp fingernails, even the skull logo is a trip!<\/p>\n This design concept of the Count is top notch! The hair texture alone is enough for some mad props. Great work from a talented designer. See more of Udi’s\u00a0work<\/a><\/p>\n This\u00a0Dracula Book Cover<\/a>\u00a0is currently my desktop wallpaper. Martin’s attention to detail and symmetry is what makes this version of Draco so unique. Props on making\u00a0the Count look smashing in\u00a0a bow tie.<\/p>\n An amazing design with\u00a0intricate drawings on this piece by Kay. I love how there’s a little story going on in between this artwork. This image is just a small part of a process piece which you should all check out here<\/a><\/p>\n Impressive character design by Felipe who’s got all the right swag on for\u00a0Dracula<\/a>. I love the dark undertones and color palette that brings out the Halloween mood.<\/p>\n This is an awesome poster mix of\u00a0Urban legends<\/a>\u00a0from Ladislav. The skin texture on Dracula’s face and his\u00a0expression really sells this artwork. Great use of colors, too!<\/p>\n I can’t believe that this was\u00a0done in Ande’s spare time. Great inking and brush technique all around. Check out more of Ande’s\u00a0paintings<\/a><\/p>\n Another favorite rendition of the Count by Ania. The East meets West concept really works with this and I also love how he’s got his throat slit. Creepy stuff. See more\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n I’m a sucker for cartoony characters, and this version of Dracula definitely makes the cut! Edson’s got an entire\u00a0Monsta Crew<\/a>\u00a0illustrated. Check it out!<\/p>\n I like this. Really. It’s our featured image. I’ve been seeing a lot of geometric stuff online lately, but this Blood Sucker<\/a>\u00a0gives it some effing attitude! Amazing style and color patterns from\u00a0Nicolas.<\/p>\n I love how Roberto portrays the infamous demon doing what he does best to the women he loves. Great shading\u00a0and inking done on this piece aptly titled\u00a0Vampire Love<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With Halloween just around the corner, I’ve got a few materials to deliver up until the horror-fest begins.
