Count And Countess Dracula During Halloween Evening - WIP stages

Count and Countess Dracula 'cute' illustration in WIP stages

This 'cute' portrayal of  Count Dracula and his Countess wife was completed during September 2018.
It is digitally painted in 'Auto SketchBook pro', on an android tablet with 'S pen' to being with, and after a certain stage of development, it is exported to a W10 computer, running the same software. However at this final stage the artwork is far larger than the initial sketch thus allowing the painting to become more refined. Photoshop is used for the final colour grading. The panels above show the sketch, followed by a colour rough and lastly, the final and finished colour artwork.

The count was based to a point on the Christopher Lee version of the character, in particular the costume. The countess is based on Lily Munster, from 'The Munsters', who with that streak of sliver in her hair has some of the 'Bride of Frankenstein' character, taken from the film of the same name.

The illustration can be viewed at a greater detail here.

digital illustration - Count And Countess Dracula During Halloween Evening

This horror character based illustration features Count Dracula and his wife out for an Halloween evening stroll. Their castle can be seen in the background. The characters are designed to be 'cute and friendly'. Inspiration was taken from Christopher Lee, partly with his look and also for the costume. The wife was loosely based on Lily Munster, from 'The Munsters'.

A loose sketch was initially done on 'Sketchbook pro' during September 2018, using an android tablet. The file was later exported on to a more powerful desktop computer running the same software, where the painting was enlarged, repainted and refined.
The final digital illustration can be seen here.
