Mr. Uttu is an extremely charming and polite. It's definitely these traits, along with his keen mind and family treasure, which have brought him to the high places he's living in now. Strangely enough Mr. Uttu does not shield off his less, pleasant sides, but instead flaunts them in front of his peers. The Levi Strauss incident serves as a good example in this. Even stranger is the fact that this does not negatively affect his name and reputation. On the contrary, in several art circles his exposés have been hailed as daring new forms of expression. Little do people know that they've only scratched the surface of Uttu's peculiar interests. There are specimens in his collections which he only shows to the most select public, and all in the most private of conditions ...

Vlad may be rich, but he has no desire for social interaction. As such, he doesn't care about his appearance or whether his actions are deemed unethical. He lives in an old shed set up to fulfil his twisted fantasy, but spends most of his time scavenging for new additions.
The people of nearby villages believe he suffers from a severe personality disorder.

The Last Days Of Mr. Vlad

After one of his infamous parties Mr Vlad started to retire for the night. On his way to bed he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Fearing a stroke he ran and grabbed the phone and slipped on a bit of animal entrails left over from his party. Failing over and cracking his head of the side of the counter he removed the top of his skull and fell to the floor. Unable to move or shout out, but still able to feel everything, he lay there for hours. Slowly the starving cats he let roam his mansion, so he could torture or shoot them at will, came out to feed. Not having eaten in a long time they began to fest on the incapacitated Mr. Vlad. They took three days to eat him and Vlad was conscious for most of them. To add insult to injury the judge who was appointed to see what to do with his vast wealth was shocked at the cruelty that Vlad had shown to animals and awarded all his wealth to P.E.T.A.


NO BORDER! :(

Vlad loved guests for dinner. He had a little room for everyone.

Vlad constantly reinvents himself, modeling his career after the late Madonna, the latest craze is sadomasochis-arabian excess... He started his career in 2069 with his "'69 dead animals" publicity stunt on new years eve, where he slaughtered 69 different endangered species with a chainsaw... while they were "69'ing" each other. He is the most popular Television personality since Oprah, and he is frequently compared with her.

Mitze got mine, the irony sucked me in!

[Lingmerth]

cognition.sb Got my vote, the style was very appealing to me and because of the humor in it :)

[Hunger_Artist]

Its a tough choice, Mr.Blondes Vlad has the bondage thing going on of course, but mitzes Vlad is hung like a horse. In the end it comes down to who you would prefer to see walking down the road picking up dead animals.

[Oglemeanimations]

I was just wondering why I didn't go to poll...could you let me know Oblio? It'd be appreciated.

[J.Mac]

sorry about that oblio, i thought the description you supplied was what we need but i guess i am a monkey boy not paying attention...mmmmhmm french fried pataturs... wont happen again.

it was tough for me but cognition.sb got my vote, it had to do with vlads thought bubble of what is doing with that little fuzzy guy. that expression is damn funny. i think the concept of what the character looks like is kind of week, but the concept of who he is great and you get that across very well in this one. maybe a better job of finalizing it would help.

mr blonde - really cool looking image but i don't see much tie with the concept maybe it is to much bondage and not enough vlad.

hunger artist - nice style and concept it is rather funny, i could see that style coming across in a game or mature cartoon.

mitze - i don't know what to say besides aww poor guy. that is cool good concept i just wish i could see what he was like when he was alive.

walnut - i like the style and your little dog too. that horse in the background is a little destracting. your call outs are a little hard to read. nice design.

j.mac - to safe and no description tisk tisk

johnny - looks little safe to me but the cane is a nice touch, that is pretty clever

good work everyone!

Mr Blonde got my vote, very interesting take on the character. I can picture that guy as a local celebrity, what a nutter. Great work.

Very even spread of votes this week, good work all and thanks for the votes/comments.

J.Mac - yea, I could've exaggerated some features a bit more, refined the face and whatnot...
Was just going for an ordinary guy that's quietly mad as opposed to an extroverted sideshow freak. My other idea was along the lines of one of those people that get surgery, tatts, piercings etc in order to look like an animal.

[Sundance]

I voted for Mitze...because damnit, any entry that engages my gag reflex like that deserves my vote! Seriously, great rendering and very believable back story.

Hmmm...something tells me you like to paint cats...

[Mitze]

Thanks for the comments.

I don't know if i was painting Vlad or is this a premonition of my future. But it was a very difficult pic to paint as i could'nt get my girlfriend to shut up 'why don't you paint anything nice, oh now you paint cats i asked you to paint our cats months ago thats horrible etc etc'

I voted for Mr Blonde leater and whips. I liked hunger artist looks like he captured to character wuite well. J mac and everbody else good work also.

[Mr.Blonde]

Hey all! thanks for the kind words. Hunger_artist got my vote... it seems almost like a self portrait of sorts. Mitze's piece is also very nice, but I don't think it really had emphasis on the design of the character as much as the story. I think a balance needs to be found... nice work everyone!

[Vulgar`]

Hunger artist. Hunger for more.

[fedezz]

Mine went to Hunger Artist too. I want to see more of that wicked style of yours!
BTW: Is your nick Kafka-related?

[death jargin]

hunger...i love yer stuff on DA
