it strangly reminds me of that man who was doctering the main character's wounds on his arms after he got the life sucked out of him ( or is it the other way around) well what im refuring to is that big nosed guy from The Princess Bride... he was in one or two scenes ..

Okay, thas just plain cool! You should make 'em taller to have a better effect. Besides, no one's ever heard of a shrimpy vamp...

I like the picture very much; it's scary, creepy and well drawn. You got a style. But I have some doubts about description of the picture (I am Russian). "Eretik" in Russian means just "heretic"; and bloodsucking undead fellows in Russia are called "upyr" or "vurdalak"2

Upside down pentagram? LoL! The pentagram protects and stuff. The only people who actually use the upsidedown pentagram are silly little satanists trying to do the same thing as the upside down cross. the pentagram is a symbol of good, stupid satanist just reverse it, to represent evil. (like the reverse cross)
