or the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire.

This is now one of my favorite books of all time. A beautiful tragic story of a soldier, a macabre tale of horror, and an allegory for war all in one book by Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola.

I absolutely love the book (and recent graphic novel). For me personally, its one of the best things Mike Mignola has written. You've captured everything about the character of Baltimore to a T. Lovely work!

I used a basic brush in phooshop and would paint then blur then paint then blur it till it looked like something I liked.

This is awesome cuz BALTIMORE OR THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER AND THE VAMPIRE is a great story.I've read it like a million times and it still puts shivers down my spine.Specially the parts where the vampire shows itself,when everyone is telling their stories and the end(which in my humble opinion is a wonderful ending).I love Lord Henry Baltimore -great character and you did a good job on him ;)

I loved the book too. I read most of it in one sitting at a book store before actaully buying it. I love the puppet town for being just so insane.

That was such a good book. This is some solid fan-art, too.
