Deeply personal iconic conflation of imagery and music circa 1990—Emperor Sea Strider skull from Barlowe's EXPEDITION + Andy LaRocque's "Insanity" instrumental from King Diamond's The Eye.
Your mileage may vary, but mine never will.
Expedition, Wayne Douglas Barlowe
Insanity, Andy LaRocque

His face was handsome and commanding and arrogant and compelling. His nose was hawklike, his hair swept back from his brow, and his heavy, fascinating mouth masked strangely exciting white teeth that showed when he smiled. And his eyes... they were red and hypnotic. When he looked at you with those eyes, you could not look away... and you didn’t want to.
Salem's Lot, Stephen King, 1975

“The town knew about darkness. It knew about the darkness that comes on the land when rotation hides the land from the sun, and about the darkness of the human soul. The town is an accumulation of three parts which, in sum, are greater than the sections. The town is the people who live there, the buildings which they have erected to den or do business in, and it is the land.”
— Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot
few notes:
Barlow is described as white but I didn’t imagine him that way due to: his age, the way he describes watching colonialism in action, and his dark hair in combination with his nose and face shape. He’s ashy because he’s a vampire. I don’t usually draw brown people that way.
Father Callahan’s robe patterns are largely made up by me because searching for old-school vestments brings up a lot of results that vary wildly in the symbology used. I just combined some common attributes.
Straker gets a bow tie because I wanted him to kind of look like a butler, being Barlow’s familiar and all.

so unbelievable and amazing that take that had the biggest drama and fallout of their time and then a decade later they literally got together again and literally wrote an honest to god lovesong (eight letters) to each other basically. absolutely unmatched.
