Muppet Angel vs The Count-- SMACKDOWN!

I'm not much of an Angel fan, but I am aware that at some point he was transformed into a Muppet. Well, the world ain't big enough for two Muppet vampires, so I decided to draw Muppet Angel locked in immortal combat with Sesame Street's the Count. In the background, Janice the Vampire Slayer is torn in her duty.

Darla - Julie Benz

I should really know better. Getting a likeness of a really pretty person is just HELL! You need to find the teeniest tiniest things and amplify them , just to have something to hold on to. As a result this comes over more as a charicature than a strict portrait.

The strength of Angel as a series was that Angel ( David Boreanaz ) was content to act as a straightman/foil for showier actors/characters. One of the strongest of those was the Vampire Darla ( Julie Benz) who made a big impression on me at an impressionable age ( 35 ). She had the best death scene EVER ( not the first time, the second one ) where she staked herself in order to give birth to her baby. What a way to go!

Buffy


I love Buffy. I really loved that show - the idea of a wee blonde girl bashing vampires and big tough demons... I loved the premise, the characters, and the very fine spin-off, Angel. I wrote lots of words about Buffy once, in a British Buffy magazine that no-one saw. But those many essays expressed my love for Buffy. Bring her back, please - or indeed, any of the characters from that universe. And I mean the Joss Whedon TV show, no other imposters.

So here's my Buffy. I just realized I never drew her before. Rudimentary color; didn't have time to do it properly.
