Got a little chance to play about with my character today, and have tried out a vampire version of him! Along the 30 days of night style.

Will need to add some blood on the teeth, and more on his face (as mentioned before), but am now thinking this might be the way to go. I don't think the expression on his face is quite as good as the last one, but it's more in theme with the criteria of the comp, and I still have some time to do more to it so we'll just have to see how it goes.
