Contest Week 64: Youkai
Shanghai (edited Nov 10, 2007)
Contest Week 64: Youkai closed for judging Halloween is going to come while this contest is running, so I thought we could try a theme of monsters but with one extra detail. Youkai (or y?kai, depending how you like to spell it) are basically the monsters of Japanese folklore and legends. There's a rich history of stories about youkai and a huge range of them; supposedly 11,520 types. Your goal these next two weeks is to illustrate a youkai, any youkai you can find in the links I'll giv...

"Erzsabet (Elizabeth) Bathory was born in Hungary in 1560, approximately a hundred years after Vlad the Impaler died. One of her ancestors Prince Steven Bathory, was even a commanding officer who helped Vlad Dracula In 1546, when he claim the throne in Wallachia back again.

"While her husband was pursuing his passion for war, throughout all the 25 years they were married, Elizabeth was often left to herself, and her life became more and more boring. To kill some time, besides admiring her own beauty in the mirror for hours, she took on young men as lovers, and one time she even ran off with one, but she soon returned home and the Count forgave her. Another thing Elizabeth did to amuse herself while home alone, was to pay visits to her aunt Countess Klara Bathory, an open bisexual. She presumably enjoyed herself with her aunt Klara, since she visited her aunt's estate frequently.

"It was also then she began to develop an interest in the occult. An old maid named Dorothea Szentes, also called Dorka, who was a real witch, instructed her in the ways of witchcraft and Black Magic. Later Dorka became Bathory's helping hand, when she was encouraging Elizabeth's sadistic tendencies, like the inflicting of pain upon people. Together with Dorka, Elizabeth began the task of disciplining the female
servants, and torture them in an underground chamber. In the Countess's service, as helpers in the macabre punishments of the servants, was her old nurse Iloona Joo, her manservant Johannes Ujvary and a maid named Anna Darvula, who allegedly also was Elizabeth's lover.

"With the aid of this crew, Elizabeth made Castle Csejthe to a place of pure evil. She would always find excuses to inflict punishment and torture upon her young servant girls. She preferred to having the victim stripped naked and then whip the girl on the front of her nude body rather than the back not only for the increased damage this would do, but so that she then could watch their faces contort in horror at their most
grim and burning fate. Another favorite was when she would stick pins, in various sensitive places on the victims body, such as under fingernails.

"Then one day it happened. A young chambermaid accidentally pulled Elizabeth Bathory's hair while combing it. The infuriated Countess slapped the girl's head so hard that blood spurted from her nose, which splashed upon her own hand. Where the blood had touched her skin, Elizabeth immediately thought it took on the freshness of her young chambermaid's skin. She then got hold of Johannes Ujvary and Dorka to undress the young girl, upon holding her arms over a big vat, then they cut her arteries. After the young girl was dead Elizabeth then stepped into the vat, and took a bath in her chambermaid's blood. She was now sure she had found the secret of eternal youth through this vampirism. She had discovered that blood is life."

"...Thirty years had passed, yet her body remained that of an eternal child. Her eyes alone told the story of her age, staring out from under her doll-like curls, with a questioning that will one day need an answer..."

ty. i didn't draw this to try to win a tshirt or be loved by the members of 2draw. i was inspired by the topic, and it is rare that i am inspired by anything these days so i grasped the opportunity to create an image. i could give an ass about placing in a 2draw contest.

Lilith was a character in a comic by Marvel Comics. She was Dracula's oldest daughter- and only child to her mother Zofia. Dracula ended up forcing Zofia and Lilith to leave his castle later on so that he could marry another woman. Zofia later leaves Lilith to the hands of a gyspsy lady Gretchin, then comits suicide. While Lilith is still a child, Dracula ends up killing Gretchin's son, Arni and she vowed to seek revenge. She casts a spell upon Lilith turning her into a vampire.. But not just any normal vampire, she has unique powers; she did not fear holy symbols and she would not be harmed at all in sunlight. She would haunt Dracula until he was killed, and each time she "died," she would take over the body of a woman that hated him and wanted him dead. She also had the powers to transform into a wolf, a bat or mist, could control weather (limited amounts) and could command wolves, bats, and rats.

Frankenberry was an inspiration to large gay men back in the day. He showed that you can be a big hulking clod and still be a pussy. Frankenberry is pictured here with his favorite photo of Senator Larry Craig.
