The sharp silhouette and gothic style of Tartakovsky’s design for Dracula in Hotel Transylvania inspired me to base my character around similar principles, initially. Here are the first few sketches which spawned the idea;

I decided to mix these two main ideas centred around the contrast of the colours purple and green. After reviewing the outline provided by Mike I settled on a design which focused around one green eye, a long, old tendril like beard and a purple cloak. I felt the idea evoked a sense of cosmic horror and a ‘lovecraftian’ feeling, this character is an ancient priest from another world.
