Title: Vampire Killer has Santa Lilio Sangre artbook fully uploaded
Post by: beingthehero on March 05, 2014, 04:21:04 PM
It's been awhile, but Vampire Killer (which is now neo romance instead of armster.org) has completed uploading the rest of Santa Lilio Sangre.

http://castlevania.neo-romance.net/kojima.php?lily (http://castlevania.neo-romance.net/kojima.php?lily)

There's a few Castlevania images that are new (at least to me), including a profile of Isaac from Curse that I've never seen before:

There's uncomfortable stuff like this (nsfw):

There's Rocky Horror Picture Show art (seriously):

There's Lugosi Dracula, Nosferatu, and The Creature with a tap in his neck:

There are baseball players:

And there's non-CV art that makes you wish "This would make for some really really awesome Castlevania art":

ive been saying this for years: people that think ayami kojima can only draw "girly" men should really check out this book, she indeed has range

i would love a castlevania manga drawn by her perhaps detailing the "in-between" belmonts that never fought dracula, or other heroes such as the belnades clan

Yo kojima, use this style in Castlevania. Thx.

At the same time, looking through the book, it's mostly women and "girly" men.

However, as someone who is not particularly fond of the "girly" men design, this one in particular caught my eye:

I also thought these two were pretty cool:

I understand the desire for watermarking, but damn that's a gigantic one.

Didn't see 'em, but I wonder if the Dracula XX art is in here. I have an artbook by the artist (forget his name), wanted to scan the couple pages but the binding is such that there'd be no possible way without wrecking the book. The person from this site mentioned destroying the Kojima book to scan all the pages, which is commendable. Might have to buy a copy myself.

Would love a general Castlevania artbook covering all games and official art. DracXX, CV64 (Kite artist dude, really forgetting names today), Circle of the Moon, and of course all the classics. Great, great art.

That's actually Christopher Lee, not Lugosi.

Also it's neat seeing her do different styles from her usual Bishounen type.

Very nice art, though some of the NSFW ones freak me out...x_x

I still can't get over that one with the doppelgangered dude ripping his heart out and sticking his fat cock in some black thing's ass. The detail's sketchy from the small size of the scan, but there might be sweat or...otherwise running down the shaft. The pregnant belly and she-tits adds an extra layer of absurdity and comic value.

A 2d cv with the most weird stuff you can find yes and this is a whole book?

Having her taking a break from a specific style of art will help broaden her artistic skills more. Although it's a shame we didn't see any of it in the CV games that she had worked with before.

She has such a thing for exposed internal organs and insects that I'm fairly surprised she didn't incorporate either in her CV stuff.
...I miss Ayami Kojima working on the series D:

I could scan some illustration from a Wizardy story she worked one if anyone cares to see them. One character drinks blood from an animal's decapitated head or something.

The Dracula X Chronicles artwork is in the book, but not the original Dracula XX art, since Ayami Kojima didn't do that artwork.

I highly recommend this book, though.  I have about a dozen game art books, and this is easily my favorite.  It's entirely art, cover to cover.  No filler.  Lots of CV stuff too, although if this guy has uploaded all the art I suppose you don't need to book to see it now.  But I'll always prefer a print copy over an internet scan.

I hate the big watermark the dude put on these scans.  This isn't his work.  The time he put into tearing up a book and scanning it into his computer pales in comparison to the time Kojima took to draw and paint everything.  He has no right to watermark this.  But whatever.

Shoulda been more specific, I meant the website as a whole, since there's a lot of game art scans from the series there.

I recently stumbled on this page and was about to create a thread. I miss Kojima's art dearly and the scans definitely pushed me over the edge to get the book. She is insane is the most creative/best way. Her with Yamane and Iga were truly a legendary trio of creators.

To not bump the thread without contributing anything, here's a recent unboxing video that goes through most of it:

I wish this book had been made later so we'd have HD artwork of Harmony of Despair

@Oniros: Please re-upload the video because it is not working.

@SecretWeapon: As far as I know, there are no HD versions of those HoD artworks. Can anyone else confirm?
Title: Re: Vampire Killer has Santa Lilio Sangre artbook fully uploaded
Post by: SecretWeapon on July 28, 2016, 12:05:53 PM
Afaik none there are none released online but the original material is obviously HD. I pray it leaks/gets released one day.

I wonder if its somewhere in the game and if it can be extracted.

I think it could be extracted but I have no idea who can do it.
