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.

This nightmarish scene with a giant creature of some sort on a trolley was created in January 2018. The setting is an underground industrial setting, set in a possible Victorian/ early 20^th century time frame. Additionally a 'steam punk' visual flavour was added.. The men cleaning up help to add a sense of scale. It was painted in 'Auto Sketchbook Pro', with final work being carried out in Photoshop.

The illustration can be seen clearly in this link.
