Description

Some time ago, a certain someone (oh, who am I kidding? It's that crazy genius of MingRaine) made a most significant summary of my art and wished me to draw "vamp lords riding hyenas equipped with crazy penguin artillery". The idea rocks, doesn't it? :iconsothereplz:

So, for the vampire lords riding hyenas at first I thought of Dracula and Saint-Germain riding Shenzi and Banzai or my hyena OCs, twins Shani and Bibi; but I had to simplify, so I picked Dracula (from Coppola's movie of course) riding my bad-tempered, troubled, introvert hyena girl Bibi.

The bat babe is Irina, a last-minute addition which I'm very happy with :aww: And as for Rico, at first I thought of him brandishing something very big and dangerous, like a bazooka or a flamethrower, but said weapons didn't fit with the timeless, creepy, still atmosphere of a moonlit cemetery; so I came up with our psycho penguin throwing up a beautiful slash weapon that those who have seen Coppola's Dracula should've recognized easily: it's Quincey P. Morris's Bowie knife (this one pbs.twimg.com/media/CEHqctgW0A…), a crucial object in the movie La the KillerOh, and the title, too, quotes Dracula, both the literary and the movie one -- Listen to dem, the cheeldren of the naaight, what sweet music dey make... :evillaugh:

I owe this to :iconmingraine: and her supernatural creativity :D

Oh. My. God.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Is this a dream?
Because I can swear I am staring right at a one-of-a-time-utterly-spontaneous-bat-shit-crazy-familiar-idea which I totally for a moment had to remember happened in our convos somewhere... And I'm rolling. Hard. (genius? Where?! :XD: )

This is perfect. I mean, if there's going to be a Halloween contest this year, you're bound to send this. I mean...

Dammit, I seriously don't know what I'm digging more - Bibi's awesomely crazy grin foretelling all kinds of crazy mischievous craziness, Dracula's epic hair of epicness, Rico's batshitcrazy bat form sprouting that majestic Bowie knife (I want it :stare: ) from his beak... or Irina flying above them like an angel guardian fairly of overjoyed elegance. Nope. I think I'm digging everything, individuals as much as the combo. It's too epic for epicness itself. I... can't believe you did it. XD

I want a good explanation. Supernatural creativity? :stare: I refuse.

You're just too awesome, sis. :stare: End of subject.

This is epic.

:iconexplodelaplz:

You owe me nothing, Sis. You're too epic. *tears of joy*

And with that I can agree and just say... I'm so sorry I could not send it earlier! I mean... heck. I still stare at it with a huge dorky grin plastered on my face and shake my head in bewilderment. I really, really must watch out what I say next time... xD (screw it, this idea was epic and now it reached epic epicness, because you made it real :dummy: )
