A comparison between the skulls and life portraits of two vampires, a 400 year old male on the left and a 100 year old female on the right (yes, that's a female). Companion piece to this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1346864/
A note on technique - I started with the skull on the right, a slightly modified but fairly basic human skull. Although the 400 year old skull ended up looking a bit like a cat or a tarsier, it was all done by distorting the human skull, with no other elements added.
After the skulls were done, I did the life portraits by layering on 'flesh' directly on top of them. A lot of that great dessicated skin texture on the old vampire is, believe it or not, from the bottom of an owl's foot! The younger vampire is a combination of a 3d modeled head and photographic elements. The veins visible under the skin are actually from a high contrast photo of tree branches against a pale sky, for example. The eyes in both portraits are mine ;) Same color, although obviously I messed with the pupil shape.

Can you do a skull from this http://data.furaffinity.net/art/fro.....ath_em_big.jpg too?
I don't think it looks particularly bat-like, more like a shriveled up cat-monkey. What I was thinking is that the parasite gets rid of anything it doesn't aboslutely require so you end up with a scrawny little apish thing designed to sneak around in the darkness, grab a victim, slurp up the blood, and skitter away again.
There are a couple of things you could take to kill the parasite while it's still small and vulnerable, but most people don't realize in time. there are preventatives to skeeve the vampires away from you in the first place - garlic pills sell great where this story takes place.
The allicin in the garlic repels the vampire, but it's become popular hippie voodoo crap that garlic pills prevent infestation. Rather like how people in the real world think Airborne 'cures' colds.
The host's brain - it's a little complicated to explain in a message box, but the parasite basically runs it as an emulation. Hardware is parasite, software models the human's thoughts and memories. It's another layer of protective camoflauge, but it can be a bit disconcerting for a vampire to realize "I" am only basically a program being run by a parasite.
