Who is Count Dracula?

Count Dracula is a vampire, sorcerer and Transylvanian nobleman, who claims to be a Székely descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Unlike the vampires of Eastern European folklore, which are portrayed as repulsive, corpse-like creatures, Dracula exudes a veneer of aristocratic charm which masks his unfathomable evil.

Count Dracula head sculpt - day one

For the first day of the Dracula head sculpt I used a head blank in order to expedite the process. The head was in the correct scale for my 24" figure.

The image above show where I created eye sockets for my eye beads.

Here you can see the beads inserted into the sockets. The beads where taken from my wife's costume jewelry. Yes, guys sometimes if you are nice to the spouse she will allow you to use her unused costume jewelry.

This image shows where I removed most of the original hair. I also began to add features throughout the face in order to get to the likeness of my subject.

The fangs and tongue were added. The hairlines were also added to the sculpt giving the hair piece more of a Bela Lugosi hair pattern.

Before and after transformation. Please note, the Dracula head sculpt will undergo several more passes. Today was just the first day.
