Carl should be thinking about the case but instead, he’s daydreaming about his therapist. 👌
(Completely Unofficial) Morck Merch. We need some.
CYMB Lazar. Just ‘cos.
Used the Jake Spicer Scrawlrbox 115 and this reference image from Downton Abbey.
The world may be in shambles but at least I’m getting letters from my good friend Jonathan Harker
Dracula Daily - May 12th
According to Jonathan, Drac’s creeping around. But someone needs to go to Asda… 🧛
Already in love with them ❤️
Drawn in Procreate using Liliyth Enchanting Girls brushes and the Netflix Department Q Trailer for references.

(Sucker for a slowburn ❤️🔥).
Morckin’ about is the only thing to do on Sundays. 📷 References from Netflix and @pleasereadmeok on Insta 📷
A little Matthew montage to celebrate our first sightings of Carl Morck. Whoop. Thank you, Netflix. 🥰
Daddy’s girl 🧛🧛♀️
Abigail fan art drawn in Procreate using BigPearLiu’s brushes ❤️

Soundtrack:
Daddy Cool - A work in progress 🧛🧛♀️ (to go with Chapter 26 of The Visitor on AO3) using new brushes for Procreate from BigPearLiu. Love ‘em!
“Definitely NOT daydreaming about being Joey.”
Drawn in procreate using a screenshot from ADOW for reference (see above) to go with chapter 21 - 23 of The Visitor on AO3.
If Lazar were a Ken doll… he might look like this.
It was not at all my intention but the undeniable result of practising portraits in Procreate today. I’m secretly in love with Ken so I’m fine with it. 😝
Reference photo was found on Pinterest. I used a chaotic mixture of LHR, Liliyth, Tetiana Deniz and original Procreate brushes… so that’s probably why he looks so odd. But he kinda makes me smile nonetheless.
Onwards and upwards! ✍️💖🧛♂️ Just keep drawing (vampires).
Lazar‘s favourite snack 🧛♂️
(Ana) ~ a daydream based on Ch 18 and 19 of The Visitor (AO3) - drawn in Procreate ✍️
✍️ Tonight I‘ve been working on some digital drawing techniques and process learned from the @liliyth tutorials I did yesterday as well as trying out some of her brushes in Procreate. I‘m not sure the finished result looks like Melissa in the end, but I was trying to capture the coy mood of the reference (swipe left and please let me know if you know who to credit for it - I found it on Pinterest and now can‘t find the original source 😬). The brushes are ace and I am loving experimenting with liliyth‘s process and style. BIG fan of hers.
Lazar (but Manga).
Nobody needed him but here he is 🤣
I did the most incredible tutorial by @lilyith yesterday. She is one of my favourite digital artists and I love her style. What’s more amazing is that she has put so much time and effort into sharing her skills and process so that hobbyists like me can improve their skills. I found the tutorial so useful.
So (obviously) I had to try Lazar. And (obviously) the reference came from @asgoodeasgold - thank you 😘 He’s on the beach, which makes zero sense but I don’t care because the reference is just 👌🖍️🏖️🧛🖤
I adore the Coco Wyo colouring books, especially Spooky Cutie. If I could add some more vampire pages, they would feature my favourite vamp and, instead of ‘Cute but Creepy’ I’d call them ‘Lazar but Loveable’… like this one, where he’s reaching Joey a snack from his fridge. It would be a niche market, for sure… 😝
Making progress. Decided to sketch him out by hand and crack out the copics 🖤 because, why not?
And finished… 🖤
Photo faffing - in case Lazar would be your ideal Valentine too…
Originals here:
The lighting is all out of whack but who cares?
Just chillin’ with my favourite vamp in Procreate. This one is not a photo mashup, it’s drawn from scratch using LHR brushes and the grid method, which is definitely the only thing I am capable of! Everything freehand just goes seriously out of whack.
The reference pictures are from @asgoodeasgold (for MG behind the scenes in Abigail) and Pinterest. He’s ended up with a slightly weird smirk but never mind. We live and learn. And maybe he’s just smirking at Joey 🙃…
Lazaar’s Backstory
Don’t mind me - just over here daydreaming about Lazaar’s backstory. Again. I blame @asgoodeasgold for this particular version: she posted a fab interview of about MG’s Wickham and I went down an Abigail x Death Comes to Pemberley rabbit hole 🐇.
Who knows why.
📷 Silly photo mashup above made from screenshots of Death Comes to Pemberley (still currently available on Netflix - hurrah!) and MG’s interview with PBS on YouTube (thanks @asgoodeasgold for posting): https://youtu.be/AWZn_0FGSMg?si=8N8uTs5Jc78G4UIo 📷
Chapter 21 of the Visitor explains how Lazaar might have ended up at the gallows. It’s historically inaccurate and completely implausible, but it’s just for fun. Thank good(e)ness.

Oh no 😩😣
Also… I could have just used MDCM hunting in a beanie. Would have been a lot quicker and I could have screenshotted it myself. Oh well! We live and learn…

🧛❤️
"Lazar is the true big bad of Abigail"
This made me very happy. Matthew does a 2-minute cameo as daddy vamp Lazar and his portrayal is so iconic he is recognised as one of the scariest on-screen vampires. Way to go Goodey!
So proud 🥹🥹

Thank you for reading ❤️🙃 It completely lacks coherence - ‘random moments of disjointed daydreaming’ might be a better description of it. But it’s the process of writing that’s fun and valuable in terms of escapism, so I’m ok with a flawed product. Same with the edits and drawings. For me, Lazar is the perfect escape… as might be a teeny bit obvious? ❤️🧛😉
Photo faffing on a Lazar theme for Friday night vampy vibes.

New chapter of the visitor to follow soon. 🧛

Photo editing. Just for fun. The vampire is in the bath. Because… why not? 🛁
📷 Original images from Pinterest; faffed around with for Lazar vibes using Procreate ✍️ The next chapter of the Visitor (featuring a bath) will be up shortly 🧛
Yep, Lazar. Still. 🧛✍️❤️
I love this time of year but it doesn’t leave much time for daydreaming about vampires, does it?! Here’s a ten minute doodle of my favourites (under the mistletoe?) and a rushed and plotless chapter update. Just for fun.
Photo editing fun - Loverboy Lazaar 🧛
Don’t mind me over here vibing with Loverboy Lazaar. Had fun with some great Procreate brushes by Laura H Rubin (especially the hair ones - his hair looks RIDICULOUS, I know, but it made me smile). It’s rushed and imperfect but just for fun.
Queen’s ’Good Old Fashioned Loverboy’ was in my head as I faffed around. In terms of context, he’s just arrived at Joey’s door…
📷 Screenshot that I edited/drew all over is from The Hatton Garden Job 📷✏️
On a Good Old Fashioned Loverboy theme, I added a couple of (completely ridiculous, implausible and inaccurate) chapters to The Visitor. Just a bit of fun and escapism - ‘cause that’s sometimes what’s needed these days, eh? 🧛❤️
Yes to absolutely all of these ideas. Especially Lazaar v Frank, which I also often have on the brain 👌 That would be a whoooole lot of fun 🫠
Whose your favorite Comfort character in Abigail? And why?
Joey! I just love that she’s so smart (and bloomin’ beautiful) and skilled and funny but also flawed. I find her relationship with Abigail fascinating and confusing and can never 100% work it out. I’m always pondering the fact she was spared by both Abigail and Lazaar. What weird vampire code of conduct is this?! I love her final WTF line in the film and the way Melissa Barrera delivers it and I think about that a lot. I wonder what on earth she did next after driving away (and will always hope there’s a sequel and she’s a vampire). And - of course - I love the idea of Lazaar falling for Joey… even though that doesn’t actually happen in the film (it really does in my mind 😂). She’s a comfort character for me because there are so many things to wonder about her and I think Melissa Barrera absolutely smashed her portrayal. Soooo, not a very original answer from me, I’m afraid. How about you?
