I like it very much. Great job on the varying shades of reds, my reds always seem to end up a mess :-X

Funny enough, I'm reading a historical biography of Vlad Dracula right now. Even by the ruthless standards of the time, he really was one sick puppy.

I agree, he was extremely violent but he succeeded in stopping the Turks........I think he believed 'the ends justify the means'.

I guess he would have been a fine husband to Erzhebet Bathori if the time period matched!

Post by: Cubs on 01 November 2016, 07:14:54 PM: He not only stopped the Turks, he stopped half his own population as well unfortunately, which is probably why he was killed. He didn't seem to distinguish between his enemies and someone who had just slightly displeased him ... they all got the pointy end of his psychosis. Even while incarcerated in Hungary, by all accounts he liked to dismember small animals and impale them on little wooden spikes (and not just on barbecue night). A weird and disturbing dude.

I think the Bathory's were related to him as well, which doesn't surprise me one bit.
