Brides of Dracula

Hello and welcome the brides of dracula page . As the title suggests, this is dedicated to dracula's three (or more) mysterious yet beautiful servants. From movies to illustrations. If it has a innocent girl swayed into becoming undead bloodsuckers, this is the place!

Mina go chomp

Minaaaaa beautiful darlingggggg. Absolutely one of the most gut wrenching moments in the book

Started this yesterday afternoon because I really wanted to make something new art for my favourite entry. It took last night and this morning to get the sumi ink as dark as I needed.

Horrors beyond Jonathan's comprehension! Yay!

(Re-upload, had to fix some things)

[starlitartworks]

All three pieces together!

(Hat versions and design notes below)

Design notes because I can:

Mina's colour palette gets darker over time, while Lucy's gets lighter.

Jack starts putting just a bit 🤏of effort into his appearance once Van Helsing arrives.

September Dracula is still wearing Jonathan's stolen clothes, while Jonathan is wearing clothes given to him at the hospital.

Lucy was buried with garlic flowers braided into her hair. The vampire has tried her best to pull them out.

Clean shaven, October Jonathan's shaving accident is much more apparent.

October Arthur had some of Lucy's hair fashioned into a brooch after her death.

October Mina wears Lucy's pearl brooch, that she wore in May on their Whitby holiday.

October Mina has lost her straw hat. I wonder who took it?

October Dracula has come into possession of a new, suspiciously familar, straw hat.

On the morning of October 3rd, Jonathan's blade not only got through Dracula's coat, but tore his tie and nicked him in the chest. Our boy is not playing around.

October Mina uses a mourning veil to hide her new vampiric features, but it doesn't quite hide the red glow of her eyes at night.

Found some of my first ever Mina and Lucy doodles!

These are from late 2022/early 2023 I think??

Working on side characters. I love shapes

"Denn die Todten reiten schnell"— ("For the dead travel fast.")

Recolour because I wasn't happy with the original

(Reupload because I accidentally deleted the original, plz reblog this version if you can)

"Her teeth are sharper, and at times her eyes are more hard."

I'm having a lot of fun with this art style. The cracks were inspired by these Holmwood foundation pieces by @ georgiacooked :D

Speedpaint under the cut!

If you'd like to see more, I've another animatic that also covers the entire book here.

English subtitles done by myself and @ignitingthesky 's generous help.

AI MADE VID_Dracula [MIna and Lucy]

Before anyone complains, yes it was made with AI. I freely admit it , but this is just done for fun and experimenting. I wholeheartedly agree that you still need to make things on your own and don't use AI for everything, especially if it just for cheap business practices. That's said I don't think we should shun it either, AI a tool no different then the Internet and if you treat it as such to help with work flow, you can make some cool stuff. We cant progress by focusing solely on the negatives. Try to find the middle ground as well. I'm not laying down my pencil just because of this and sure and Hell don't want it replacing humans.

And trust me, I still had to put in work for these vids. Directing AI is not as easy as it looks and most of these were done by me drawing something first and going from there with a lot of trial and error. That's said I assure you nothing was stolen, this is all from scratch. So don't jump down my throw claiming me lazy. Just please let me show off my fruits of labor without issue.

Without further ado, here some Dracula related vids.

One of Mina and Lucy, the latter after being bitten by Dracula.

May 11: my friend Lucy has written sand I am so excited for her! This Arthur Holmwood sounds sweet

I know this outfit isn’t historically accurate. It started off as under clothes but then I colored it…but oh well! I had Fun and that’s what’s important

[draculabrides]

Heh cute, would love to see her vampire form in this outfit.
