four days late, oh my god, here’s my tanz der vampire secret santa gift for the wonderful @kahorifutunaka ! the couple of interactions we had were wonderful, and i found myself really intrigued by your affection for historical costumes – so here, have:
- the last portrait Krolock had commissioned before he was turned (~1590?), and
- the last daguerrotype taken of him before the events of TDV (~1890?) (maybe herbert got him out of his old bats’ clothes into something more modern for the photographer 👀)
i tried my best to keep them historically accurate, and i hope you like them !
edit: i forgot to specify the likeness is (approximately) based on egyházi géza, since you said your favorite tanz production is vámpírok bálja (and i forgot to ask who your favorite graf is! sorry! D:)
(here are the original paintings without the aging varnish or daguerrotype distortions (x) (x))
