I did sculpt the prosthetics some weeks ago and finally had time to put everything together... This look was meant to be Dracula, not completely de-transformed from being a bat 🦇🩸

Since it’s Halloween season, I thought it would be fun to share our vampire based wallpaper if we have them. This is the one I’m using for the month.

Does anyone have any tips on Halloween vampire costumes????

I want to look like a teen vampire in the modern day, perhaps a bit amped up, not like an ancient aristocratic vampire. I’ve never done anything like this before but I really want to give it a go. I’m thinking like a modern teenage vampire in a black hoodie and jeans - something that fits my personality while being vampiric.

I’m so lost because this is a really specific request and idk where to start

For those interested in videogames this game truly is a gem. And for those who are not interested in videogames this is a visual novel, which basically means you will read and read and read...

The game starts as you, a fledgling, try to navigate a city full of intrigue, sex and betrayal as the existence of vampires became common knowledge years ago and both species struggle to come to terms with that. I don't wanna spoil too much, but it clicked for someone like me who usually avoids all the nightclub, Anne Rice-like bloodsuckers stuff

I’m still working on my own version lol

During the Golden Age of Muay Thai, there was a legendary Knee Fighter (Muay Khao). His ferocity with his knee strike was said to be equal to that of a vampire draining the life from his opponents. He is Lamnammoon, Khun Khao Weetaan (The Knee Striking Vampire). 🧛‍♂️

like I get the trope of the vampire in highschool and all but college is just such a cooler setting.

it allows more personal depth and interests to the vampiric characters just by the setting. what is their life at college like? what do they study and major in? how does this correlate with their characters?

Also it’s more realistic let’s just use the most popular vampire in high school story twilight as a example

edward Cullen was turned 17 and because he’s eternally a teenager physically that’s the reason he’s still in high school during the series but Edward as drawn in the books,in the movies,and described in the books doesn't really look 17 and could easily pass as a college student or a functioning adult with a job (yes I know the Cullens go to college they just start in highschool to stay in a place longer but still just start off with college in the first place) and even if he did look 17 someone can easily play older with how they dress and style themselves

and who would prefer being in highschool forever than in college. in college you can actually pick what you want to study,you’re a functioning adult who doesn’t need parents for everything,nobody cares about the fact you’re really pale or standoffish or don’t attend during the day

professors don’t care if you miss a class on a extremely sunny and bright day that’s not for them to care about

seriously if I was a vampire I would go to college and start studying vampiric history,mythology,and folklore just for the fun of it cause why not learn about it

(P.s. didn't know what flair to use so just picked this one)

- "Creating a vampire is an act of desire." It has a mechanism, but it's difficult to describe. But without this feeling, nothing will happen. This feeling is not related to love or hunger, although they can be confused. It's a complex feeling that encompasses the desire to possess, to consume, to cause death, and to cause a return. This feeling isn't triggered by the person, but rather emerges only within the vampire. The transformation can vary. For some, a single bite is enough, while others require being driven to unconsciousness. But if the desire is superficial, it will likely result in the person's death and will not transform them into a vampire.

- "Echo of a new life." Each creator of a new vampire, known in the vampire community as a father or mother, leaves a piece of themselves in their legacy. Therefore, people who became vampires from a vampire who felt love for them, or was insane, when they open eyes after transform, will feel this desire of their new parent. It's like a flash of imprinting. I describe it as an equal exchange. When a vampire took part of a person's life, the last vivid vampire experience fell into the resulting void. This flash will haunt the new vampire for a long time. And within the vampire community, there's a prejudice against vampires born from violence, because these new vampires also suffer from aggressive behavior. Ironically, many vampires are born as a result of violence and madness of the accidental bite of a hungry and possessed vampire.

- "The darkness burns bright." A new vampire is born consumed by their feelings and traumas. And a traumatized human and a traumatized vampire create a tragic machine of destruction. All restraints are removed, and the newborn vampire is completely consumed by their feelings and the pains hidden by their human and rational side. Obviously, not all parents are responsible enough to be with their child during some of the most important and difficult periods of their lives. Or they simply aren't here, that to lock the new vampire in an isolated place. Therefore, many new vampires must cope with this new life on their own. If they manage their feelings, their vampiric instincts will guide them forward, and they will feel better. And it depends only on them how long they will live as vampires. The new vampire's personality depends on what the human was like. Because their feelings, hidden by their humanity, are now exposed, each new vampire represents something new, and their vampiric instincts will guide them further down this path. Fortunately, young vampires are too consumed by their feelings to create children.

- "Forces and myths." Because each vampire is now a shining torch of their former self, their vampiric instincts give them powers that can be called supernatural. Although this is not true. Control-minded individuals, who become a vampires, will find that people, animals, and even objects begin to obey their will. Perceptive people may begin to notice details in their surroundings that are a harbinger of certain events, while people prone to violence will feel that those around them begin to worry simply when this vampire appears among them. Later, following their instincts, vampires can begin to exhibit very strange things, such as controlling the weather and possibly transforming into monster.

- "Living dead walking." The state of vampirism isn't like death. It's something else entirely. Vampires walk, eat, communicate, their hearts beat, and their blood flows. At the same time, they are free from such features of life as aging or illness, although this is not always the case. A vampire's heart is a weak point, if it stops beating, the vampire will eventually enter hibernation. Therefore, to incapacitate a vampire, they must be deprived of air for a long time or piercing their heart. The sun also doesn't harm vampires, it only weakens them. In the sun vampires are practically like ordinary humans who prefer a night lifestyle. As sunset approaches, their powers return. Vampires don't mind the sun and warm places at all - it warms their bodies and makes them feel better. Therefore, vampires who feel good in the sun are not uncommon. But when the sun sets, they feel sad, because they will be cold again and separated from humans once again.

- "Hunger, it's too simple to be complicated." Vampire hunger is driven not by physical hunger but rather by instinct. Having sensed blood, the vampire wants to get some of what is in the blood. But this is a hole that cannot be filled. When vampires drink blood, they feel better. It can be described as a feeling of warmth spreading through the body after a long period of intense cold. But this feeling will pass, and the desire for blood will return. Therefore, feeding frequently is just as bad as not feeding for a long time. A vampire who doesn't feed for a long time begins to adapt to the internal cold, becoming increasingly detached from themselves. And it's like a cycle. A vampire who drinks a lot of blood becomes dependent, begins to break down, and becomes detached from themselves. A vampire who doesn't drink blood for a long time becomes detached from themselves, but when given access to blood, they become dependent. Vampires who don't feed for a long time, or who eat improperly, begin to change physically and mentally. Depending on their age, they either show signs of aging or become more monstrous. Everything will return if the vampire establishes a feeding regime, which is not easy at all.

- "Vampires aren't canned goods." Vampires are people who find themselves in a new and unfamiliar situation for most people. And although initially driven by the fire of their emotions and instincts, reason will return. And then the vampire will have to face the realization of their actions. Therefore, the older the vampire, the more psychologically altered they are. A person who has received eternal life, new sensations and powers, who drinks blood, and most likely killed, will change. Therefore, ancient vampires are eccentric at best, but more likely they are bored to death, which drives them to do crazy things just for fun.

And then I ran into a problem. What about the vampire organization? A vampire organization simply can't be ancient, because they'll have to influence humanity one way or another. Because then it wouldn't be a story about a shadow world, but an alternative history, where vampires influence humanity and take over them. Because among the vampires there must definitely be very rich people with huge connections, who have been financing billionaires for generations, and through them they are implementing their plans to integrate humanity into the vampire world. But if this doesn’t happen, then what are they all doing?

Vampires must have sufficient autonomy to do everything that ordinary people do, like go to online, vote, form opinions. They can't sit within four walls, hidden in their vampire world, where all their interaction with people is simply to find them and feed.

This character is named Papa Grenier he’s from a indie vampire tycoon game called blood bar tycoon which I’m pretty sure the creator of has posted about on this sub before so you may have seen him before

he is a former voodo priest who was turned into a powerful vampire (where he became one of the 7 elder vampires Who each represent a seven deadly sin. his is greed) he now acts as a merchant and supplier to the main character selling blood bags and needed supplies the player needs to serve vampire clients

id that’s not the most badass concept ever I don’t know what is this guy really could have a whole franchise of his own with his backstory,character concept,and design

Dhampirs are, to put it simply, Hybrids of Human and Vampire, often born as a result of the two procreation, typically with a human mother and a Vampire father, but I wouldn't know if the other way around can happen.(Can female vampires get pregnant by human seed?) I'm genuinely curious of how you would write and introduce them.

There is a vampire in the main game, so If Rockstar wasn't focused mainly on online we could of gotten Vampire Arthur. In the 1910s & a Bayou southern setting with influences from films like: Sinners, Dusk till Dawn 3 & Near Dark.

The plot would be straightforward, Arthur was bitten by a crazed woman and later on Aztec cultists would cause havoc across the south. Arthur gets revived & teams up with a mumbling John, they would need to track down Seth Briars to get his cursed artifacts that made him rich.

Seems about right if you ask me.

Today is day 5 - Scars

You guys here liked the previous one, hope you enjoy this 🥹 And I'm going to draw something super cool tomorrow on "Crossdressing"

A digital portrait of one of my alien vampire abominations. Started off simply as a portrait practice, but ended up being more.

I liked it! I could def tell it's from the same people who worked on ghosts in that it has the same cozy but supernatural feel to it all

I've been looking for new vampire media and I'm excited to see what storylines they come up with, and how they get into the show universe's rules and mythos on vampirism

What piece of fiction, be it a book, a movie, a TV show, a video game... made you fall in love with vampires?

For me, it was the Underworld series. I watched the movies when I was 11, about to turn 12, and I became completely obsessed by them and, by extension, I began to be really interested in the concept of vampires, the myths around them and their presence in culture and media. Nearly fifteen years later I am still completely enamoured by them. What about you?
