I see you've based this design of Dracula on both Bram Stoker's depiction from the book and Vlad the Impaler.

Stoker based his depiction from some historical sources, so I just took the novel primarily, with just some details based on Vlad, not in his description, but in proportions and such issues.
Therefore in my case is like 80% the novel, 20% Vlad portraits, but the novel is actually like 50% Vlad descriptions.

So I just started reading the book, and it seems most media completely miss the mark on how he looked according to Stoker. Nice job XP

A man who understood that you have to sacrifice your own humanity to preserve your people and the future of your kingdom. Stupid kindness, compassion and false drooling over peace and safety has gotten europe nowhere.Β
He and a few others where men of their times.

Alas more Europeans seem to have forgotten that example and only see it as fiction.

Well, yes Vlad III of Wallachia was indeed a great man, a great patriot and a server of his nation. He was devoted to the sake of his people, and because of this he was also respected and beloved for them.... and he should be an example for all Europe
But this picture is not based on him, but in the fictional Β character of Count Dracula of the Stoker's book, who's physical description was based on the historical voivode, so, took I some features of him...

At least the real Dracula was a hero, as he tried to stop the illegal invaders who wanter to conquer and oppress his people. Very nice.

En efecto, el fue un gran lider; un ejemplo para Europa (mas ahora que parecen estar siendo re-invadidos por los moros)... pero en este caso me enfoque en el personaje ficticio de Stoker, no en el heroe real....

AsΓ es, mas me hace mucha falta leer demasiado de Bram Stoker, ya que he escuchado que es un gran escritor y lo planeo para el futuro pues.. XD.

He looks like a grandpa who would tell his grand kids wicked war stories, with a glass of wine in hand. Β

Β As any student of the Count knows, he never drinks ... wine.
