Vampire Granny. Card Artwork. Monster Class: A vampire neither pretty nor monstrous; at least it doesn't sparkle.

This is from a series of card artwork I'm working on with a friend in getting his card party game off the ground. The game, Thy Dunjon Quest, is a party game utilizing elements of charades and blackjack for players to go one mock quests and encounters while gambling their gear based on success or failure.

The Vampire Granny is a different sort of vampire. She doesn't hunt, nor seduces victims. She instead bores them with tales of her grandkiddies, her knitting, her kitties, her batties, and her favorite musicals. The Vampire Granny also has the unfortunate need to still dress like a trampy vamp, much to the horror of unsuspecting onlookers. But ,do not worry fair traveler, for you still have a chance to flee her, for her sight in not good, and it takes her a while to get her fangs in place.

This was a simple spoof on vampires, as such a creature is the complete opposite of what one expects in a vampire. Long-lived, yes but is neither a thing of eternal beauty, nor is she a savage monster. At least she's not a twinkler.
