More about VAMPIRE Lord HIROSHIGE Ukiyo-e Best TRENDING

The prompt says "Japanese vampire lord painted in a head-and-shoulders portrait using the Ukiyo-e style and techniques of the artist Hiroshige, with an emphasis on simplicity of design."

Here as elsewhere, red eyes are a sure sign that the artist recognizes that he is painting a supernatural creature. But what kind, exactly?

This could be a Nukekubi, the traditional Japanese blood-drinker, whose head separates from the body. Note the very long neck of the vampire.

However, this subject could instead be a nosferatu who happens to have a long neck. Too little is known of the subject's (un)life to identify its type with certainty, though it's clear that he passed himself off as a human nobleman.
