The Vampyre by John William Polidori - Il vampiro sorte dal nulla. The engraving depicts a dramatic nocturnal scene set in a graveyard: On the left, a vampire figure rises from a tomb, holding a torch. His expression is intense and predatory, suggesting he has emerged from the grave to prey upon the living. To the right, a bearded man in flowing robes gestures toward him, possibly representing a holy or moral authority attempting to repel or banish the creature. In the foreground, a young woman lies unconscious or asleep, her pale face and limp posture indicating vulnerability—she is likely the vampire’s intended victim. Surrounding them are tombs and weeping willows, contributing to the eerie, gothic atmosphere. The Italian caption below translates roughly to: “The vampire, driven by the fever of the grave, rises above the sleeping Miss Aubrey... but he does not reach her; a celestial power drives away the shadow of this infernal being, compelling him to abandon his prey.” https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Vampyre_(Polidori)#/media/File:The_Vampyre_by_John_William_Polidori_-_Il_vampiro_sorte_dal_nulla.jpg

Created in March 2017 for an unannounced game. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Evil-Library-Concept-Art-672550674 The full library can be seen here. Next to the previous mentioned piano, poisons and machine room, we can see the main library with thousands of books protected by a wise owl "Boo hoo boo hoo!" and intricate skull decor. Another part of the artwork shows the mirror room. Even the mirrors seem alive and love to spook around. Watch out! :) Taxidermied animals with glowing eyes can be found on the right side (lion, eagle, bear, rhino, hippo, warthog, bull, tiger). In a glass vitrine, precious animal skulls and bones are preserved. In the upper right corner is a haunted dusty attic with spider webs, rusty tools and weapons ,a loom, old cloth, a still functioning gramophone, a forgotten coffin. Windows show the outside area with dead looking trees and a rather dark atmosphere. ..and then there is the ghostly maintenance staff room. Full of cleaning products, brooms, shovels, a warning sign for clean wet floors illuminated by a colder halogen light.

This is where magic, technology and chemistry are combined into a machine. Cables and parts are leading in various directions. If you look at the last picture of this post with the library overview, you can also see an area where experiments are conducted, e.g. a spider will be transformed into a new creature.

A treasure map and amulets show big plans. A desk with candles, quill, ink and a notebook show that someone is working hard on new enigmatic inventions.

Page 9 of the Grolier Codex, a supposedly pre-Columbian Maya screenfold book, the authenticity of which is disputed. A standing deity figure dominates the page, facing left, highly stylized with elaborate headdress and glyphic adornment. To the left margin is a column of Maya day-signs or numerals — a vertical series of repeating glyph blocks, likely used for calendrical or Venus-cycle notation. The deity holds or is interacting with what appears to be a stone projectile or weapon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Codex_of_Mexico#/media/File:Grolier_Codex,_page_9.jpg
