I dug my Wacom out and gave it a quick blast

Heh, I thought you hated Anime? Well, it looks like Alucard (read: Dracula) from Hellsing to me.

Its not a bad drawing at all. To really display Alucard well enough, his pose should probably be a lot more mysterious and frightful, though.

His eyes could have a different shape as well, small peering eyes for example as opposed to neutral big round eyes.

You dont need wacom for that tbh

Looks cool, but since it's only silhouette work, you could try to work a bit on breaking the symmetry

oh, and nice gradient, bitch ; Don't forget to work out the background, it's 80% of the picture

And yeah it's definitely Alucard from Hellsing, there some cool ideas in that manga but i found most of it to sound very empty and sometimes even dumb, but maybe it's just me .

I think that You have wanted to focused more on the terrible picture. I like dude. But You have filled very dark coloured on that paintings. So It had been matched with background colour. It was such a liked so horror and also pretty nice. I wish that You will draw picture and come with at that stage.
