Title: X's CV pencil pics
Post by: X on July 31, 2011, 12:15:10 AM
After seeing narkolepsi's and Sindra's images I thought I'd share mine too. This is the first CV pic I ever did in pencil and previously had never done a full-on black & white sketch before. Since this was done in 98 the character's proportions will be off in some places. I also wanted to replicate Dracula's castle from Castlevania: The Adventure as it was largely a unique incarnation and I was somewhat enamored with it. I'll put up more if this one is successful... And it is, look at that!

I'd throw it in 'er.

I think I drew some Castlevania images once. If I dug 'em up I probably wouldn't be able to post them, 'cos I'm pretty sure I gave Simon a gargantuan schlong.

So you went real life with this pic uh? Don't be ashamed of that. In art school we're taught to draw real life and includes nude pictures of both men and women. Nothing to be ashamed of. But yeah I guess the Dungeon isn't quite the place for it unless you asked Jorge nicely. Anyways since this pic made it all post another one. Same Belmont but updated since I did it in '02. Abnormal Freak if you though the first pic was something you'd hit then try this:

There's actually a mistake I did not fix as I had already sprayed over the pencil with a preserver. The character in the image castes no shadow and neither does her whip. Oops  :-X

Anyways I'll put up the rest. You will note that they all have the same art-style as I was using the CV Dracula X art and had no access to anything else. I didn't really have full internet access back then either so I couldn't expand my knowledge until later. This next image shows a very Castlevania-ish castle worthy of that title in my mind. I borrowed the design from King Haggart's castle from The Last Unicorn. It just screamed CV that I couldn't not use it's likeness. This pic was done in '99

Here's another pick with a similar castle design although looking more like a fortress then a castle. also Death and three vampire hotties are included. The designs of the fishmen and the little critter with two legs (not sure what it is) are taken from a Nintendo power magazine that featured CV3.

^ That Belmont pose, looks similar to this:

That's where I got it from. These pics were done at a time when I was just starting out so there is a 'copy & paste' thing going on here. If you look at the pic before it you'll also see a similar Richter pose. The final CV pencil pic I have is what I did for my Castlevania 2017: Atlantis fan game. Character proportions are a little off as usual, however there's a lot more to see in this pic.
