Title: Favorite Kojima art?

I've always been a huge fan of her art for Castlevania Chronicles, as it has my favorite Drac and Simon designs. I always get nostalgic when I see the game's cover.

I also dig this art from Curse of Darkness. Too bad the game itself wasn't as dark as the art promised...

One of the most beautiful Castlevania castles ever...

Gorgeous. Just... jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

The beauty and implicit sadness and poetry in that drawing is something that I can't explain with words.
I guess I must choose that one as my favourite, not to mention it features Juste Belmont.

I remember that you even said that these 2 images sums castlevania to you in a brief. :P

I like how she does her women. Very pretty. And the detail that goes into the images is well done too. But the guys... No. Just no. And Issac is literally the king of all that is No-No. If I were born a guy in her world I'd probably kill myself before the risk of falling in love with my own reflection sets in  :P

Seconding the hell out of this, because crisis is totally right on that as far as I'm concerned. Plus, I LOOOOOOOOVE medieval-esque artwork. It's just so wonderful.

And also, all of everything. I really don't have a favorite Kojima piece. I have a ton of reasons for loving them all. Though, if I had to pick one of the topmost ones, her Symphony of the Night piece featuring all the main characters. I love the fuck out of that.
