For This grey scale version i kinda whent with an old timee cartoon aesthetic. the cartoonish noodle armed vlad, the relativelt simple use of line for architecture and trees, and the actual text (for Vlad the Impaler) are akin to old popeye carttons. I think including the cerve tech logo also works well, the simplicity of the text in white surrounded by pitch black is akin to the original logo but i think it also works with the design. ive included 'a bloody good pale ale' but the text used will probably be a drippy, blood looking text, and i might push it up a bit on the label. let me know what you think, this would be pretty close to the final design if we go with it, probably add a few flourishes here and there, maybe make the black around the label more ornate. if not i also have an idea for a three toned color one, but i'd assume color would cost more to print. also i still have a few other ideas if you want to go in a completely different direction, but still use the vlad figure. things similar to the psychedelic vlad in the previous post, or we could go simpler.

Vlad Psych
rough idea for a Vlad Alt, a little simpler, less illustrative, more graphic. we'd have to make sure no accidental swastikas show up though
images for Vlad the impaler beer, The line drawing is still a bit rough, but i think the design of the figure is working. The middle and foreground might be a bit much, i have another much simpler composition that could work, but these images are the result of the initial ideation. The second grey scale image is a very rough rendition of enetering a full grey scale from black to white. It might work better with cross hatching though. what i like about the pitch black is that we'd be a ble to plug in the cervetech logo somewhere up top or in the bottom. ala 'brewed by 'cervetech logo'
Vlad Pieces
Pieces for potential vlad design. The Vlad design had been altered from the original to read/print better. the castle scape is based of the 'dracula castle' a fortified castle where dracula was almost killed (also his wife jumped out a window or something).
