Behance user Molly Syrett designed a glamorous female vampire for her character design project ‘Blood Countess.’ Unlike the historical tale of Elizabeth Báthory—a Hungarian serial killer from the 1600s—this woman looks quite friendly. The original serial killer is known to be the most prolific female serial killer of all time.
The model in ‘Blood Countess’ wears outfits that were very popular during the time of Báthory and when compared to a painting of the historical figure, the model has a surprising resemblance. Molly Syrett did an impeccable job at designing this character. The model has a pale complexion, which emphasized her blood red lips, dark eye makeup and thirsty red eyes.
In comparison with characters of this decade, she looks more like a vampire you would see on Twilight. Her beauty is alluring and deceptive—her friendly face encourages you to trust her and when you do, that’s when she’ll strike.
