Here is a fearful creation, a bust created by a wonderful
sculptor Mike Hill. The production of this bust and base is
Killer Kits. Here's there link, a place you definitely should visit.

Dracula was a character that has been played by so many
different actors over the years, with so many different story
lines, I just can't count. Of course, my very favorite is the Bella
Lagosi's portrayal of the Count. But here we have Christopher
Lee's depiction of the monster, I feel Mr. Hill has captured the
escence of the fiend and I taken it a step further than that, with
my paint up.
The Book ... If anyone has not read the original book, by
Bram Stoker, do yourself a favor and run to your local library,
pick it up and read it. I certain it send chills up and down you
spine. And that's what good writing should do. Convey a story
and emotions that conjure up a place the artist would take you.
I hope you like my additions to this piece. A bit of drooling
blood gurgling from the Counts mouth, dripping onto his clothe
and onto the base as well. I took liberties in this direction to
heighten the gore and the delight of the beast man. I strove to
portray and convey his features with every seem, crease and
valley of distortion. Teeth caked with blood, mouth oozing
with a fresh kill. Blood is his love. A creature of the night,
swallowed up with colours of blacks and reds. He has emerged
from his coffin to delight in the darks and the shadows. He
walks with a quiet seduction to all that hunts. Could be you,
could be me ... That all remains to be pondered ... By you and
by our fiend.
Until ... Enjoy the images below.
I hope you enjoyed what I've offered you today. Why don't you
visit the other wonders of my site. There are many other creations
and paint ups of other models, busts and diorama's throughout the
site and some are even for sale. Like this little joy of a piece right
here. It was a labour of love on my part and love it if you bought
and put it in your own collection to enjoy and give you thoughts
you'd never get another way.
Sleep tight ... I hope this Dracula don't bite.
