Countess Orlook — Description

This is a full length of my girl vampire version of Max Schreck's Count Orlock in Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) for my Frankenstitches project. I named her Countess Orlook with the bald head, pointy ears and long fingers and fangs and decided to have her drinking a bag of blood with a straw as if the blood bag was a Capri Sun juice. Designed, illustrated, inked, colored and lettered by me.
