Project X: Helsing Concept

Early concept for Abraham Van Helsing, one of the main characters for Project X. He is the ultimate scholar; calm, austere, ascetic, enlightened. Knowledge to him is everything and he resembles a vampire in his thirst for it. Lives, family and even souls are mere commodities to be traded for it. On him are the best armory money can buy and human hands can built. Initially he was designed to be thin and expressionless. However, I was influenced by Alexander Anderson from Hellsing to create a bulkier and more menacing version of him.
