Title: Are you SURE you aren't from Castlevania...?
Post by: Flame on May 29, 2011, 05:54:53 PM: With the success of the "I cant believe it's not Castlevania" thread, I think I will make an offshoot of the offshoot and come full circle.

We have the "sounds like castlevania music" thread, the "looks like Castlevania environment" thread, and now we will have the "Looks like a castlevania character" thread.

Same rules apply, Pictures of characters or artwork that you feel really gives off a 'vania vibe. Doesnt have to be strictly artwork either. it can be photography as well.

So, once again, HAVE AT YOU!

EDIT: FINE, left out the other ones.

Post by: Red Successor on May 30, 2011, 07:36:55 AM: Most of the pictures in the first post don't particularly give me a Castlevania feeling. I guess if you put them in there they can fit, but they're not too evocative of anything that I've seen from Castlevania... to me.

Post by: Kale on May 30, 2011, 08:01:24 AM: 3rd from last in tc's post looks good... the rest... not so much.

If we look at Vampires... Akabara from Vampire Juuji Kai would be a good match imo. I like him much better than Dracula... he's smarter and more powerful for one >.>

I mainly went for characters that have been portrayed in Castlevania.... perhaps I shouldnt've.

Post by: Flame on May 30, 2011, 09:30:02 PM: Fine fine, so I removed those then.

Ludwig and Wilhelm from the manga Ludwig Revolution could possibly fit into 'vania. the outfits in there alternate between antiquated and modern looking, but the more antiquated ones fit the bill somewhat...

Yes/no? its a stretch, but I think so.

Hmm. when i made this topic I didnt realize how hard this would be, lol.

Post by: Kaori on May 30, 2011, 09:57:26 PM: I think that Richard from Tales of Graces kind of looks Castlevania-ish: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XL7DNILu0Po/TMzz0Z0XpWI/AAAAAAAADWs/K5c6oJC4y94/s1600/Richard3.png (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XL7DNILu0Po/TMzz0Z0XpWI/AAAAAAAADWs/K5c6oJC4y94/s1600/Richard3.png) and http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/tales_of_graces_conceptart_RD6QF.png (http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/tales_of_graces_conceptart_RD6QF.png)

By far though I think the first (whoever that is) and the picture of Raphael look the most Castlevania-like though.

Also, Theres this webcomic I read called "The Becoming", (check it out, it's neat) where the outfits and style is very reminiscent of something castlevaniaish. One of the characters, (the guy down there with the metal arm and 'stache) actually has the surname Belmont.

Hooo man, Deviantart I think... you've asked a bit late. I dont exactly remember.

Ill look through my favorites some time, but with the amount of shit I fave a DAY, Its probably really far back if there at all.

If I had to upload it to photobucket, it might not be from DA... In that case it could be from either Gelbooru or Pixiv. More likely pixiv, since I cant find it in my Gelbooru faves.

Sorry...
