Blood Lust

24 Oct

Vampire by Duniax

Vampires are sexy. And I’m not talking about the sparkly, teenage variety. They’re sophisticated, charismatic, and like to nibble on your neck. They invoke a combination of fear and attraction for many people. After all, who wouldn’t want to have supernatural powers, live for centuries, and dress snappy?

Vampires as we know them have been around since the early 1800s, but creatures that feed on blood or flesh have been in the world’s cultural conscience for much longer. Bram Stoker’s Dracula was highly influential on our idea of vampires today and was inspired by the cruel Transylvanian conqueror, Vlad the Impaler.

I think vampires are some of the cooler horror monsters, and I’ve found some amazing art dedicated to them, and also to eradicating them!

And who could forget Brad Pitt as the reluctant blood sucker from Interview with a Vampire?

I am in love with this painting. It was made digitally, but has a traditional feel to it. The expression on the captive’s face conveys exactly what she’s feeling.

The piece below is of the original film vampire, Nosferatu, but updated into a bat-like horror with a very scary gaze.

And if you’re afraid of vampires? How about an authentic 19th century vampire slaying kit made by priests in England?

If that’s too heavy to lug around, what about a pistol that shoots wooden stakes?

    One of my personal favorite subjects ;)
    I did a piece dedicated to that very concept.
    Almost nsfw (unless you’re a illustrator or designer)!
