While the background should be vibrant, ensure it doesn’t overshadow the laughing Dracula – he's the main act.
Stray away from making the piece overly cartoonish; it should be whimsical yet sophisticated.
Harmoniously merge the distinctive styles of Manchess and Hewlett, ensuring neither dominates the other.
Refrain from crowding the artwork with excessive elements; let each detail breathe and resonate.
Ensure that the play of light, especially on Dracula's face, emphasizes the contours of his laughter while subtly hinting at his dark nature.

Adhering to this vision, the final artwork should not just be a portrait but a lively celebration of Dracula's unexpected side, perfectly marrying classical lore with contemporary artistic flair.
