I did a paper on her for my Composition class. She's one of those people who are only inspiring because they murdered 300 people a couple hundred years ago, and that's long enough ago to make it less tragic and more . . . legendary? I'm a horrible person.

Anyhoo, I like the design on her bustle. It's rather awesome.

really? I feel the exact same way! I'm in the middle of a biographical analysis of the 'first vampires'- those people in history that made the legends what they are today- she is one of my all time favorites... okay that sounded really creepy, but I swear, the weirdest thing about me is how much I like pomegranates!
She was intended to be a character in a graphic novel of mine about five years ago so that picture was almost a character study for her- one of the first I ever drew of her, but I had way too much fun researching old dresses and styles so I kind of just went crazy with it that and never went anywhere with the story.

Yeah, you either have to be really noble and heroic or really effed-up to be remembered by history. Bathory was of the effed-up kind. People probably thought I was a little strange for doing my paper about her and vampires, but oh well. No one read them but the teacher, so that's alright.

Ah, well, that happens. Sorry about that though.

Cool!
It's really awesome to read that.
I didn't know that one!!
Elizabeth was also the name of Dracula's wife in Dracula (the movie), the version that came out in 1992 with Keanu Reeves. However, it was pronounced more like Elizabeta. It's really quite interesting to see where the idea for that possibly came from.
However, the movie DID NOT follow the book at all which seriously disappointed me.
I mean, yeah, the plot was pretty much the same but all the women were sluts and there was too much sex, and Mina was TOTALLY my favorite character in the book but in the movie she was a TERRIBLE person.

... Yeah. The movie added an extra plot to the mix. Which made me angry.
So then Van Helsing became my favorite Movie character.

...
I'll stop talking now.

Yeah I know!! no one makes a true Dracula movie, they always have to add their own crap! I mean c'mon, the book was AMAZING why change it??!! (though I've never seen it, I've heard the same thing from other friends who have.)Yeah Van Helsing is so cool, but I agree, Mina was my favorite in the book.

Van Helsing is HILARIOUS in the version of the movie I have.
But Mina rocked.
She's like a role model for me. All sweet and everything... ^^'
And Renfield was creepy. <3 for Renfield.

More <3 for you.

And why won't anyone make a true Dracula? *Sighs* We totally should. Senior year or something.

Good work, you need to work more on the Curtains, and some of the folds of the dress other than that good.
