SciFi and Fantasy Art The Vrykolakas by Aleister Lam

The Vrykolakas is a Greek vampire. The Greeks have unsurpassed persistence in their belief of the vampire folklores, that's perhaps why the belief in supernatural creatures that drank blood and attacked humans are a long-standing tradition there, even till this date. The word Vrykolakas (singular) is a borrowing from Slavic and is derived from the root words which means 'werewolf' or lycanthrope, and somehow over time it had obscurely blended with vampirism; and I had kept this in mind when designing the overall out-look of the Vrykolakas.
