Actually I think the narrow depth of field really lends charm to the image. It is very reminiscent of studio portraits of the 30s where often only the eyes were in focus, everything fore and aft of them falling off into a soft blur. Note how, in this George Hurrell portrait of Joan Crawford, though not as extreme as some, the focus starts to off just behind the ear.
This is looking amazing as usual Monstermaker!!
Great work, keep it up
Cool Pic Rick! I haven’t been here in awhile, but as soon as I seen Drac on top row. I knew it was you who did it!!!
Seen this on the inside cover of CGW. Excellent job (as usual)
The best likeness of Bela I’ve seen yet. Huge long time fan.
Happy Halloween to all the monster makers out there.
Better than any foto
Hey Rick is that you getting crashed head on at the end of the latest Wolfman trailer? hhehe 
this movie looks sweet - not that it’s relevant to the Dracula model - not directly anyway :)
Great stuff! The likeness is dead on. I have been watching your American Television interviews and they are super inspiring, thanks for those!

Wow, such fantastic work! You really captured his classic expression from the movie, well done! I hear that you are coming to visit SCAD soon. I can’t wait! You’ve always been a hero of mine and I’m thrilled about the discussion panel. Hopefully I will get to say hi and thank you in person.
Keep up the fantastic work, I can’t wait to see more!
