Vlad Dracul

Cover book series finished! Finally!
And the last one is Vlad Dracul, the historical figure Vlad Tepes (pronounced tse-pesh), who intermittently ruled an area of the Balkans called Wallachia in the mid 15th century. He was also called by the names Vlad III, Vlad Dracula and Vlad the Impaler. The word Tepes stands for "impaler" and was so coined because of Vlad’s propensity to punish victims by impaling them on stakes, then displaying them publicly to frighten his enemies and to warn would-be transgressors of his strict moral code. He is credited with killing between 40,000 to 100,000 people in this fashion. Horrible, isn't it?

Long time i didn't know, whether I should draw him or not because of his brutality. Sure, if you read his biography, you could understand the one or other behaviour of him.
So finally I completed my cover series and go on with the next project. Work never ends. But it is fun, as always!
