Description
“The stories of Vampires turning into bats are true, they just never told you how long it takes”.
Timeline documenting the ‘ageing’ process of a vampire over a millennia. I always thought the idea of a vampire staying young and beautiful forever was really boring, what’s the point of being a bloodsucking monster if you can’t at least look terrifying (although ultimately kind of goofy).
Anyway, this turned out to be really fun and I’d like to do another one with a different type of vampire or something.

I love this idea and it works for the Gangrel Clan of the Masquerade game

Good work. My vampires look kinda like the 300 year old concept

Nice. It would be interesting to see werewolves in a similar concept.

Any chance you could do something like this, but with Daphne or Velma from Scooby Doo? Maybe Velma?

Turning into a ridiculously fluffy vampire would be even better.
Fluffy things can also be scary.

"I always thought the idea of a vampire staying young and beautiful forever was really boring, what’s the point of being a bloodsucking monster if you can’t at least look terrifying (although ultimately kind of goofy)."
Actually this whole 'aging process' you're proposing reminds me of the evolution process from the Legacy of Kain series especially the first Soul Reaver game where the vampires you fight are no longer human at all (or what Raziel calls them "deranged jackals" in Soul Reaver 2) or at least they all used to be once human though when they were first became one and this woman depicted here could pass as a Razielim for example if they lived of course (of course it's also explained in the game that it's because of corruption of Kain's soul or something like that).
At the same time though, I also have to disagree with you on this since Vampires are whatever you want them to be since one of the core basis of Vampires is that they're originally Undead walking corpses that their appearance stay 'static' to when they 'died' (hence kinda like a permanent pallor mortis who just freshly died which their bodies don't decay past that) during their embrace/turning hence they forever stay the same appearance for all eternity even if the person was beautifully attractive since of course not all vampires are beautiful or they have to be which they have to suck blood of the living to keep themselves going pretty much.
Point is, Vampires are already blood sucking monsters from the get go (or rather they're also can be blood sucking demigods or blood deities depending on what your perspective is since Vampires are also supposed to be the "Lords and Ladies of the Night" who are above the hierarchy of the Undead and they have monsters and demons under their command) which I prefer though that their "bat form" is more like a shape shifting ability they have (since they can turn into a cloud of bats or a huge bat creature as pictured above along with other animals and mist form) instead of a "aging process" what you're presenting not to mention just add red glowing eyes and pale skin (due to being dead) and you're pretty much set which in otherwords short, I'm more a fan of the traditional vampire of Dracula/Carmilla.
I'm sorry but it seems that you're presenting your vampires as some sort of a biological mutation condition than a supernaturally undead type in this concept.

I'm not about to argue about what fictional monsters are with a stranger on the internet but I do appreciate your enthusiasm.

Oh I think I got a perfect name for these types of Vampires...I think I would call them "Lovecraften Vampires" as in Lovecraft usually writes about how man returns to be animal pretty much which is often portrayed in his works.

Yes well the point I was trying to make is that there is really no need to make Vampires "overly monstrous" than they already are to begin with.
Although this does serve as a nice idea of a "degenerate" Vampire 'species' where it's "immortality" is presented as some type of a joke (rather a 'curse') much like the Rat Vampire you also made where it's condition is made even worse where it's transformation aging process (or rather curse) is much faster.
Of course I would also have it that "True Vampires" actually don't have the transformation aging process who actually stay young and beautiful forever (well actually depends on how attractive they were in life to begin with in the first place) which of course they also have shapeshifting powers as well.

Are you ever going to do a full body for this. Im trying to get a feel for if there final form. Is a gargantuan tall gargoyle bat able to thrash anything it comes across, a tall slender creature that lurks and slinks around in the night, or a primal athletic monster that will always catch up to you?
Also does the vampire loose its sanity and becomes less intelligent as it progresses, or does it become inhumanly intelligent?
Also I like the vampire at 500, she has an I'm going to drink you blood but first I'm going to chop you in half with a battle ax vibe going on.

Something like that, and I would imagine sanity depends on conditions. Like one that lives in a castle or something, feeding on people keeps it's intelligence while one that lives in a cave or underground, feeding on animals and such becomes more bestial.

18: "Will I get to sparkle?"
150: "Come closer. I don't bite. "
300: "B+, How'd you know?"
%00: "Which wanna you kids took granny's iPod!?"
700: "I'm still hot, right?"
1,000: "Kiss me, Bella!"

I find the 300 year old one kinda sexy - great art

This is really cool! I'd love to see male and female, and of the entire body's transformation, especially with the hands possibly turning to wings.

Oh, this is perfect. A great idea and very well executed. This is definitely going to be my go-to vampire head canon from now on. Out of curiosity, do they get bat-like wings as part of their transformation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I imagine they do by age 1000, though that means spending a couple centuries watching their fingers slowly grow and become webbed until they're finally fully fledged wings. Which would be pretty annoying honestly.

Dat or the 300 age cap. Hard to pick. XD

Brilliant stuff! We always knew they were in it for the long haul, unlike those hasty werewolves that have to transform all at once
