Artist's Comments

Max Schreck as Count Orlok
Ink on paper.

His left eye gave me problems. Not sure if I got it corrected. In the movie still I used as reference he is skewed somehow. Not sure if he is crooked or if the film is off. Weird.

This is fantastic, Billy! Your stipple technique makes it look like the grainy film quality of the old movie.
:w00t:
I read some trivia that very little makeup was used on Max Schreck. The ears, eyebrows, and fingers were the fake bits. What else people saw was the real deal. So don't feel bad if you drew him the way you saw it, that's pretty much how the guy looked. You did him a great tribute!

Thanks you. Yeah, the actor is quite an enigma. I've found some photos of him as a regular Joe and he is a looker for sure!

Really cool piece here- Nosferatu is a creepy freakin' movie, definitely way ahead of its time!
