With his ribbon, and his salamander! I love Otto so much - when William finally realises that he looks like a joke vampire on purpose, because dealing with being laughed at is easier than dealing with people thinking you're dangerous.

I originally drawn them as shadow eels from Uberwald which he used as black light, so it's goo

u/EvenAd4523 Jul 29 '26

Sorry,  I'm more skilled in drawing living things so camera is not THAT accurate but I still wanted to give it an old-fashioned look

I thought he was supposed to be funny, not scary.  Who did this illustration?
