Topic: September 2017 Castlevania Dungeon Sprite Contest

[Shiroi Koumori]

I was busy recently,so my updates are slow. But anyway, the deadline is still quite far. Keep those sprites coming.

@AdrianTepes: Excellent name choice! Just wait for the hordes of fangirls to descend upon you! lol
Great work on the sprite art too.

@D9: Am I supposed to add your Dr. Akula? Or is that a placeholder for something special?

I would love to enter in the contest but i suck at making sprite arts, is it ok if it was a drawning?

@Shiroi Koumori: Thank you! I'm glad you liked both the name and sprite!
Hordes of fangirls... sounds like the perfect way for a half-vampire to get some blood without working too much... Ignore that! I'm just thinking out loud!

@The_Bizarre_Tr00per: Pixel/sprite art is pretty much a drawing small enough to the point where changing one pixel will make a big change to the image. If you have difficulty starting at a small size You can always start by sketching something at a bigger size and then scale it down and clean it up. I'm new to the dungeon so I'm not sure if it would be the right place, but I guess You could probably get feedback and advice about it on the Spritework Request & Showcase Thread.

I love Dr. Akula, for some reason he makes me think of Leslie Nielsen's Dracula.

For beginners, this is my tip for you: get a base human sprite, then edit it as you please.

LOL Got it.

Heather Hemlighet and Valtiel

Story:

(click to show/hide)

A vampire girl that wants to be the most poweful creature in the world.
After the destruction of Dracula Heather study to find a way to enter the castle, sadly didnt find anything so the only way to obtain the power was to wait for the prophecy.
 With his familiar valtiel she plans to obtain all the power that Draculas left.

 More info:
 She isnt  a bad creature but isnt a good one, she wants the power so she dosnt have to obey to anybody, valtiel have the power to make her looks like a human and live like one without problem.
 She fails to find the power of Dracula and since Soma beat Chaos she came back where she come from (she never meat Soma and all his friends), after that she start to look another way to obtain the power of Dracula.
  The name of the character and the familiar came from another game from Konami.

Well, fuck.
I wanted to correct some proportion issues and polish him some and make him have a regular-stone-sucks-souls-and-becomes-crimson-stone-also-grim-reaper-appears animation but I don't really have the time to do that now.
So I'm submitting it like this.
Basic story outline:

(click to show/hide)

In an alternate universe Trevor and his companions menage to destroy Crimson stone and thus prevent Dracula from resurrecting in his own body.
But in his dyeing moments Dracula unleashes a terrible curse upon the world.
Heartbroken over Sypha choosing Trevor instead of him, Grant becomes easily influenced by the Curse.
Even if only women he ever loved was Sypha, Grant decides to marry someone else to pass the Danesti blood on.
Exactly a single year after death of the Count, a child was born.
The child, like Grant himself became vulnerable to the Curse.
As the child grew, it started to hear voices that speak of a throne that it would soon take.
Curious, but still cautious, the child never told anyone about the fate that the voices foretold.
The child grew into a strong man of a sharp mind, who always knew what he wanted and how to get it.
Some people were confused by the way he acted, as they used to know Grant's son to have a different aura.
One day, he suddenly disappeared.
All people remember is that he carried a stone that shined with a beautiful glow.
...
Days have passed but he wasn't found.
However, people started to worry about a bigger problem.
A castle has arisen in Transylvania.
The rumors started to spread about it's lord:
A powerful man who spoke of getting revenge for all that he has suffered in his past lives.
As he was wearing a familiar headband, people have soon realized that the disappearance and the rising were after all connected.
The man that ruled the army of darkness was Vergang Danesti himself!

I'm not sure if Vergang is a real name or not, but if it was it would basically be the old Germanic for "path of war".
This story is lackluster because I thought of focusing more on the animation, but because of my procrastinating we never really went there.

Wow, that's lovely .
How many colors is that, 15?
