Vampires

Illustration part of a long and exciting article by Reedsy: "30 Mythical Creatures (and Where to Find Them)". Illustrating some of the creatures in the repertoire is a secondary task to improve an article with significant traffic that we will do little by little, in small free moments or between more relevant tasks. On this occasion, using a minimalist palette of black and yellow, based on Discovery's corporate image.

More creatures soon! In the meantime, you can read the original article.

"Though their portrayals will vary across culture — from brooding sexy ones in Twilight and Anne Rice novels to terrifying monstrous Count Orlok in Nosferatu — there are a few things that remain the same: vampires feed on the living to remain immortal, they avoid sunlight, and their hearts are vulnerable to sharp objects — you know, just like you and me. Often a metaphor for the dangers of sexual desire, vampires have remained firmly in the cultural consciousness for over a hundred and fifty years." 🦇🩸🦇
