In the past couple days I've been on a real "classic horror movie icon" trip, reading up on them and just appreciating how cool they really were. So amongst the top three horror actors of Hollywood's golden age (the other two being Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff), I chose to caricature Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula (not counting Max Schreck's cool of plagiarized silent version of the character as Count Olaff in "Nostferatu"). I didn't want to do a predictable Dracula pose, but at the same time wanted to allude to his greatest film. So I give you the man himself, in all his noir-ish glory, flanked by bats. Enjoy.

The only downside to this caricature is that, being in profile, we don't get the full effect of Lugosi's glare.

Once again, you so totally rock. And I like how you went for the classic, dignified Bela Lugosi, before Ed Wood got him all camped up.
