Tagging: anyone who hasn't done this yet but wants to!
It's the gang of chicken summoners! They're probably bad at it because I can't find the bloody vampire chicken, so they get a dead one.
My smol Pierce looks like a hamster, Erik has a new mask, and @vladimirsangel 's Aurik is holding onto Erik to stop him faceplanting - that mask is heavy.
(Shoot a tag at Vlad for me if mine doesn't work, I dunno if I can tag in asks)
This is gold!
I cannot describe how much i love this little fluffy guys!!!
Set tag: @vladimirsangel looooooooook
I drew one too, but it is mildly cursed:
Live Aurik Reactions are always the best!! I'm doing no good for his poor vampire heart, bless him, menacing him with the biggest coquette vampire friend and pin-up postcards.
Never used my phone drawing app before, that went as well as can be expected!
Live Aurik Reaction to @purrlockswatson 's post.
Look, it's not his fault, he's had a very sheltered life (and unlife).
If you're having an existential crisis, it's good to have a vampire friend who will lend you his coffin to hide from the world in.
Well. Sort of good.
Hope you feel better soon!
Look, I'd I'd sleep with fourty-six 2024 Count Orloks in my face without a PEEP if it means i get a coffinmate!! Thank you, Aurik (and Vlad!!) I don't know what I've ever done to deserve all this kindness!
I can't get over how fluffy I am and my jumper and aaaaaaahhhh
Massive thank-you and love to everyone who left me a kind word (and drawings! And cats!!!), I'm scrunched up in a small happy ball right now with aaahhhhh running through my brain on loop. I never expected any of this, thank you!
(Yes, Vlad, Aurik got the hairstyle he deserves. No pigtails in sight)
This is so accurate it's horrifying. Can confirm, in people situations I'd be quiet you'd forget I'm there, then out of the blue say the most outlandish things. Aiden, are you in my walls?
Good to be the spokesperson screamsperson!
I cannot hear you!
@vladimirsangel @purrlockswatson
When I say I was bouncing off the walls and crawling around the ceiling when I got the comm, I mean it! I'm so happy my love for it translated! And Happy Nosferatu is going to be my new seasonal greeting now
I swear I have never been this excited about an advent calendar and just in case it wasn't clear I am a grown adult but I am bouncing around like a child.
@purrlockswatson made such a beautiful advent calendar already and then this. THIS.
Aurik has a yellow hoodie. His favourite colour. He's going to the movies. One of his favourite things. He's meeting for the first time a vampire who looks a bit more like him (Count Orlok) and that vampire is a movie star and they're watching his new movie and they got the big novelty coffin popcorn bucket and they got to bring the pet rats and and and....
It's so lovely. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Nosferatu to everyone in general.
WAIT, this deserves a drawing reblog:
Pierce, mon cher, that's nice, but your philosophy of 'You have problems? That's all right, me too!' is the reason you have so many relationship problems. And you're lucky Aurik is an angel who puts up with your shenanigans. (Your hair looks magnificent in any style, Aurik.)
Vlad, this is better than anything I could have imagined when I first started posting doodles of my disaster kitten Pierce, thank you 😹
Well, Aurik, you did say he could do your hair.
@purrlockswatson
Two very different vampires
Very nice, Pierce, but maybe don't flash your, ah, ankles. Dear Aurik is by @vladimirsangel
Originally, I only planned a doodle of smol Pierce next to Aurik because a midnight conversation turned from the division of chores in the Dracula household to vampire height difference. But it's been a weird week, and I kept adding to the sketches to unwind. I hope my 'stress art' makes some people happy, too.
On vamp fashion: Pierce's dressing gown is based on Klimt's The Kiss, reference to the Klimt-inspired robe in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Aurik is NOT a brat; he probably borrowed the t-shirt from Vlad. His outfit is a combination of this Goth one and his Ugg boots.
Everything about this drawing makes me happy, but the detail that makes my Undead heart sing is the yellow-covered copy of Dracula. It's the 1897 edition, designed to evoke the appearance of the 'yellowback' - the cheap sensational fiction sold at railway stations at the time. Dr Watson was mentioned reading one in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. (Above is the miniature version I made for my haunted dollhouse.)
Cover me in sunshine...Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning....And everything will be alright
What can I say, my little nosferatu loves yellow. Get some sleep, Aurik.
