The Countess + bonus sketch (Original)

The Countess is an older character of mine who I haven't drawn in awhile -- she's perfect for spooky month, though. Obviously she's based on the legend of Elizabeth Bathory...I dunno why sexy women bathing is blood is so aesthetic to me, but it is.

I also threw in an alternate idea that I sketched but it didn't quite pan out --  I might come back to the general concept again in the future (of the super-saturated blood filling the whole canvas and dripping onto her as well), but with a better pose/composition.
