I’m not doing dracula daily (I would love to but my brain is broken, can’t read) but living vicariously though the Tumblr book club and remembering Dracula was published 1897 (during my favorite fashion decade) I had the urge to sketch some of the characters in 1897 fashion styles. I simply had to give Dracula long and wavy hair because that’s the correct and Objectively The Best character design.
Also sapphic Mina and Vampire!Lucy as a treat.
I did some more historical fanart on my art blog. Here’s again some of my references mostly from 1897, but some are a bit earlier since that’s pretty normal to use couple of years old fashions.
A ton of options from 1895.
This one’s between 1896 and 1899.
This banyan is from around 1710s to 1720s, because I though it would be appropriate for the centuries old vampire. (In public in London he would have to act this put together gentleman and therefore fashionable clothes would be needed).
