Visual Development: Cold Blood

Animation tests.

This poster design was heavily influenced by the this scene from Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula adaptation.

I was inspired by the remains of John Torrington, a member of the Franklin expedition, to draw this design of the vampire in the ice. The way the lips pulled back to reveal intact teeth is the focus of this design, as it’s this original detail which inspired me to make the link between the ice and vampires.

A still in the style I want to achieve.

This style is in the vein of Netflix and Powerhous animations Castlevania.
