Vampire Issues - A Compilation Album

A little Matthew montage to celebrate our first sightings of Carl Morck. Whoop. Thank you, Netflix. 🥰

(Just in case you needed some kawaii vamps in your feed). 🧛🖤

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 👌🖍️🏖️🧛🖤

🧛❤️

"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 🥹🥹

The 10 Scariest Movie Vampires, Ranked

From Nosferatu's Count Orlok to The Lost Boys' David, these are cinema's scariest and most unnerving vampires who are out for blood.

Dear Funko Pop,

Please will you make us a Lazaar figure (Abigail 2024) for Halloween? Here’s a mockup using Seamus Finnigan #65. Go on… it would be fun!

Thank you 🙏 🎃,

A big fan

PS I have no idea how you actually spell his name so you’ll have to work that out. 🤨

Mood: Lazaar / languor

Refusing to do his vampire thing. And driving Ana to distraction. Imaginary, inexpert edits on an Abigail theme.

Wrote a little bit to go with these on AO3. It waffles. It’s undercooked or overcooked. A bit much or not enough. Can’t really decide. But - happily - it’s just for fun.

Digestif?

This (imaginary photo edit) is how I’d like to see the epilogue to Abigail go. In case anyone else would too.

Crikey bobs, Melissa Barrera is beautiful 😍

📷 photos from screenshots and Harper’s Bazaar/Clinique 📷 edited and faffed with using Procreate. Just for fun 🎡

Filter 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? 🧛❤️

Yep, I’m still daydreaming about Lazaar. And having fun drawing him on Procreate. Tried the brilliant tutorial by Laura Rubin, in her book, and some of her fab skin brushes. I ended up overworking it (as usual 🙄) and doesn’t massively look like him BUT I was trying to capture the mood and that look.

Talking of that look,

…here’s a little photo edit of who he’s looking at (in my mind anyway 😜):

And here’s one of the beautiful original edits by @asgoodeasgold that I used as a reference 😍:

And here’s a rambling chapter which features that look:

Overcooked and nonsensical, as usual, but it’s just for fun so who cares?! 🧛❤️

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).
