I recently finished sharing all of the Inktober drawings by a fan called Amity Lee, but she wasn't the only Shanster who took on the Inktober challenge. Another was Febe Wouters, who drew inspiration from both of my vampire series, The Saga of Darren Shan (aka the Cirque Du Freak series) and the Saga of Larten Crepsley. Febe set herself the goal of creating ten drawings last October, using the prompt words that you can see in the final photo here.

The first two drawings are based on scenes in the Mr Crepsley books. In the first, he runs into Wester Flack, who becomes his best friend and blood brother. In the second, he's part of a team sent down a stream in Vampire Mountain to clear a blockage of vampire corpses -- the vampire equivalent of Fatbergs!!!! The third drawing was inspired by Tunnels of Blood, where Mr Crepsley, Darren and Evra enjoy a snowy eve.

If you hadn't heard, the first two books of the Cirque Du Freak manga were re-released recently in an omnibus edition. Find out more here: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly
