Description

I made this caricature for another of the rants on my site's blog (that would be under "News" there). As a Romanian I often feel bored with this image created around Vlad the Impaler. Believe it or not he was one of the good guys - at least from my country's perspective. In any case, I tried to drip some humor into this but if you want to read the rant itself, well, for that you have to go to MY SITE . :D

I'm honestly surprised (although, I shouldn't be) at all of the Vlad al III-lea Țepeș fanart online, this caricature is probably one of the funniest ones out there, a lot of the other caricatures I tend to see make him either


A) an unholy monster

B) an angsty super-hot bad boy

C) a cutie-pie

D) a terminally angry man who lives with people who can't stop chewing coffee beans

or E) a massive troll


Also they make the Voievod of the wrong part of Romania a lot (Voievod of Transylvania instead of Voievod of Tsarii Românesti)


I also noticed that some of the most popular adaptations/depictions of Voievod Drăculea are when they try to make him sympathetic, explaining that he "turned his back on the god that betrayed him", or whatever.


My favorite depiction is Hellsing by Hirano Kōta
