I love the details and the overall picture, but there’s one thing that’s confusing me. I get that the figure in the backround is Dracula, but who’s the figure in the foreground? Is it Mina or Lucy? Or someone entirely different?

:-) James McPartlin replies: "Thank you, you’re pretty much right, Anon, she is meant to be Mina"

you use pencil well, although the skirt makes me wonder exactly which direction the light is coming from?

:-) James McPartlin replies: "Sorry for the confusion, Lucy, I’ve got a bad habit of disregarding the laws of nature in my work....hope it doesn’t distract you too much 2"

If this is how Dracula shows up, I don’t think anyone is safe.
Spine tingling. Lovely details on her clothing and expression. She doesn’t look all that afraid,though as if she’s waiting? I haven’t read the book, so I don’t know the details.

Ah. Thank you for telling me.

Chilling indeed. And drawing all those intricate details must have been a pain in the neck 6
