Reply%5Esorry, I really had a laugh on your comment, Jonas.*What did you expect me to do? Draw someone else instead of Vlad Tepes? Or do you really feel that my work is a copy of that picture? As you may notice there are not so many pictures of Vlad Tepes. :)
ReplyA brilliant job. I love the way you manage to present %22Dracula%22. It is really hard for me to gain a woodcut effect.
