      @@SebasTian58323 Strongly recommend doing so. I've seen the Coppola adaptation and while there are some great ideas behind it - clearly, because there were really good artists behind the movie - I feel like it does not do the book any justice. Especially the character of Mina gets absolutely shafted by the film despite being the most interesting character of the book while at the same time being a really, really good example of a strong female character, who is actually not a Mary Sue.
      From what I've heard or read about various other Dracula adaptations (TV, big screen, radio, comic, ...), every creator so far has tried to add something of their own invention to Stoker's original and, as a consequence, butchered this or that aspect of what made the original story so good. These aspects may be interesting interpretations in the adaptations in their own right, but IMO at the cost of the value of the story/writing as a whole.

    I am really enjoying this series! It touches my heart. My godfather was an artist and I spent a lot of time of my childhood at his place. I fondly remember when me and my nephew, his son, were kids, we often would go to him with ideas we had for monsters or dragons or whatever. And he would sketch as we were describing our monsters. Leaving it uncolored. We then colored them in with the colors we had in our minds. He would then improve our coloring and highlighting it and adding shadow and dimension and stuff to make it look professional 😊. He passed away about a year ago. This series really takes me back to those days. So yeah, I'm really enjoying this. Thank you for that! I hope it goes on for a while!

      I actually recall that they made a conscious decision to not make him as physically grotesque and monstrous as he was in the books to avoid having him feel like a cartoonish villain. They wanted to keep just enough of his humanity evident so that you always remember that as magical as he might be he’s ultimately still an extremely demented, sadistic person with a deeply twisted psychological desire to cause pain as opposed to being a cartoon monster who is just evil because he’s a scary monster.

      Contacts for long periods of time, specifically colored contacts, can irritate eyes and in general lead to pain and sometimes conditions. Its the reason nowadays you see CGI technology replacing colored contacts.
      I wouldn't be surprised if the studio didn't give them the option due to this. Most times they go for actor's comfort over impressive visuals. Days of sticking piano wire up your nose and pulling it back are long, long ago. Though I will not lie, I do miss practical makeup.

    Then you more than made up for it with the illithid. Literally better than any of the official illustrations of them since Diterlizzi's iconic 2nd edition Monster Manual version.
    Then you gave Voldy the movie nose instead of anything even remotely snake-looking. It literally looks more like "Drawing the movie version, but more scary" than drawing according to the exact description in the book.

    I LOOOOOOVE your mind-flayer! It has so much individuality and character to it! It gives it a sense of sapience that you don't seem to find in the other examples, at least in my opinion. I'm so glad you enjoy making this series as much as I enjoy seeing it.

    I like a style of your drawings and your interpretation of descriptions!
