Huh. I found this rather interesting. A slight homage perhaps?

[Dremn]

No way it's a coincidence, that's pretty awesome.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

to bad i can't see the image in the second link.

Everytime I click it there is a 403 error.

I guess you are comparing him to MOF Trevor?

Huh, I never thought of Blade as being the basis for a Belmony design.

Next thing you know, Blade Belmont will be in the next Castlevania game. Which would be awesome.

Found a different source for the picture (hope it works), but yes, it's suppose to be Trevor from MoF.

Looks like I know what's going to be my first 3DS game.

Wow. Whoda thunk.

[Chernabogue]

Blade? Now, that's interesting inspiration.

[Archangel]

To be honest, I´d rather assumed that they draw inspiration from this Curse of Darkness Artwork:

It has almost the same pose etc.

[Nagumo]

Yes, that makes more sense.

Ha! Couldn't help but have the theme of shaft running through my head when I saw this too. lolz

[BingleGod]

Not seeing any explicit connection between the two. The minor parallels are generic enough to be coincidences.

I think what Uzo was getting at was the fact that they're both wearing green coats and have knife belts around their bodies worn the same way. As well, the jacket collars are folded the same way and they both have white shirt collars folded outward from in there. Dark hair and fairly dark skin tones, too.

Granted, those could be considered generic, like you said.

EDIT:
"The call me... BLADE! Blade -- the VAMPIRE KILLER!!"
The Combat Cross' nickname: The Vampire Killer

There's that, too.

[Flame]

Vampire Killer is a fairly generic term to refer to someone who, y'know, kills vampires.
