EDIT - Seems that Dracula created a special code for members here

Use this code to get 30 percent off on orders CODE: (resetera)


We recently invited Draculabyte to the forum after I talked with Dracula a bit on Instagram and found them to be a cool down to earth person just doing what they enjoy. A few of us thought it would be a great idea to invite them to the forum and maybe even offer a few suggestions or ideas on future designs. (with the respect and permission of Draculabyte) and they decided to come!

For those of you who haven't seen them here are a few of my personal favorites which can now be seen here www.draculabyte.com

So far it seems most of the designs follow a set of taking a Heavy Metal logo and crafting it to fit with a game. I am wondering if this will expand over more to other mediums and if it would work well with more superheroes or movie characters as there is a Thanos.

Prince of Darkness (Ghost Font)

The website has more than this and I am eager to find out what else is coming if others are.

I know a few members here have some of the designs already, they look great in person and honestly I do not normally like graphic art shirts but me and my girlfriend ended up liking these. I am not the best at making threads so if there is anything I missed let me know and I'll try to get it in. Content from the Dracula website.

I grabbed a couple of these from Shirtpunch a few months back when they were mentioned in another thread. The Metallica/Mega Man one (which is amazing) and the blue Ghost/Ganon one.

Big fan of this Mayhem/Majora mashup!

Oh I've seen this pop up every now and then as Yetee daily shirts, I'm not metal enough to even try wearing them but I really thought they were well designed.

Holy crap, your Iron Raiden design showed up on the MK11 Reddit the other day! Your designs are sick!

I would love to see what you could come up with for a Bloodborne design. I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat.

Definitely working on Bloodborne in the near future. Just trying to figure out what bosses to use. Suggestions are welcome!

Those designs are insanely good but I'd probably never wear one. I'd just cause confusion among my friends at concerts lol.

I'd probably get posters or prints if you ever made them though, draculabyte. And Bloodborne sounds like a good idea. Since you ask, I'd use Cleric Beast, Lady Maria, or Gehrman as bosses maybe. Font could be The Gates of Slumber's or King Diamond's, it would work well I think.

Oh, any reason you don't credit the bands on the product pages for their fonts?

Of course! The designs are great - also, regarding suggestions for new designs, since you're a Zelda fan a BotW design would be ace. The Guardians, Lynels, Calamity Ganon would all translate amazingly well to the metal aesthetic. Hell, Link's motorcycle from the DLC would look rad in a Painkiller reference:

Just sent your site to my boy and I think he's gonna buy some shirts on payday.

some good shit on there my dude.

Also for some game suggestions, I'd say maybe an Actraiser or Gauntlet might be perfect for your style

I've been wanting to expand to doing posters and prints. It's something I'm thinking about for the future for sure. I was thinking about doing some of the bosses you mentioned. I agree, it could work. And about the band credits..idk. I just think it's kind of fun to let fans try and guess who the band is? If that makes sense. Also, it's just what I've been used to with how artists work and sale mashup designs.

Just bought the Castlevania one. Not a fan of Cradle of Filth (I think that's the font style?) but think it looks awesome o/

I think my top 3 are Lady Maria, Mergo's Wet Nurse, and Gehrman because I think the scythe would look amazing.

Yes! I agree. He was one of the coolest looking and hardest bosses in the game for me. I think the burial blade would look sick on a shirt! Idk though. I'm kind of thinking to do some of the less popular bosses from that game though.

I'm not against those shirts per se but isn't it kind of against the rules to use the site as advertising space like that?

Ok ok, I feel ya. I got two more for you. Both of these bosses can be completely missed in a playthrough.

Martyr Logarius. Again, an old guy with a scythe. He's got a badass crown though.

Darkbeast Paarl. Giant lightning monster. Can't go wrong! lol

I think Darkbeast Paarl would be very adaptable. I think there are many different ways that he could be portrayed on a shirt. Idk about Logarius. He seems more plain. Never know what I might come up with though! Thanks for your input!

I've picked up a few of these on, I want to say, Shirt Punch? Had no idea it was a whole series!

Yeah! And always trying to add more designs so there's something for everyone. Adding more shirts with different designs. Focusing on the video game metal mashup idea, of course.

I love it. I am about to place big order. Have you seen UnMetal? Reminds me of those; I've gotten tons of compliments when I've worn UnMetal shirts in public. Wore the Sinatra one to meet Slayer, the whole band flipped. Kerry King and Gary Holt most of all! Hope to do the same with one of these one day!

I haven't but I just looked it up and I have to say, that's a very sick and unique way of doing it! That Sinatra shirt with the skull is pretty bad ass. Is that the one you have? I met Slayer one time as well. They were the nicest people.

Yep! And yeah, they were all amazing. Shame that they're hanging it up but at this rate their final tour will last for another ten years!
EDIT: Just bought 7 shirts. \m/
