Artist's Comments

This character is an adaptation of CoyotePuck´s work. I used to draw it my pixel art style. His techniques and power are similar to Dacula of Castlevania, abilities like Hell Fire, or teleport.

This pixel art is based in this [link] and Belongs to Tod Puck Wills :iconcoyotepuck:

Dracula - Undead Transylvanian warlord - a wolf.
Vlad the Impaler lived and fought in the 15th century. His exploits became legendary, and as legends, became ambiguous and shadowed with time. From German accounts, he was a bloodthirsty monster. From Russian accounts, his actions were the product of necessity. Regardless, he did not receive the name Tepes, the Impaler, for nothing. He killed thousands of people by forcing wooden stakes through their bodies. His Turkish enemies were not the only recipients of this punishment. Thieves, adulterous women – anyone who met his ire were staked, or otherwise tortured and killed.
He was the son of Vlad Dracul, a Wallachian prince, who, himself, earned his name through his membership in the Order of the Dragon and his battles against the Turks. The name can be translated as both 'Devil' and 'Dragon', most likely referencing his membership in said order. His son, then, took the name Dracula, meaning 'son of the dragon'.

The character Dracula's connection to Vlad the Impaler is less than many people think. Stoker basically pulled the name out of a book because he liked the sound of it. The debate's still out on how much more he knew about the fellow. Once the connection was made, however, the two became linked in people's imaginations. A 15th century warlord and national hero of Romania became, to us, an undead Transylvanian count.

Thanks Leona, I will try to make this char similar to castlevania´s Dracula, in other words when the vampire open his cloak, he shots a lots of fireballs, an then he envolved with the cape and teleport to other position.
I think in Simmon Belmont with a similar face to Todd Wills's Jonathan Harker.
That sounds amazing... oh to have that ability! *Eyes the people she would like to send fireballs at* ha ha!

Dude! I just did a search to see if my comic was popping up on Google and I saw this! Wow! That's awesome. I rarely check my dA account these days, so sorry that I haven't seen it until now. Awesome!!!
Thank you Todd, this idea came to me after seeing your great comic and having played at castlevania Symphny of the night. Without doubt this cloaked wolf with medieval-style fits very well with the mythical vampire. We appreciate your taking a moment to see the sprite that I made, and I hope that you reach that conclusion because it is a really wonderful comic.
Greetings.
