Your art is seriously good! The Sara picture is probably my favorite. It's kinda dark and she doesn't appear all innocent like she usually is.

Thank you very much. I went for a more anguished look with the Sara pic. When I draw her, it's usually very melancholy for some reason. I don't know why. It befits her, though, because even when her soul is being consumed by vampirism, she mourns for her innocence. Perhaps that is what is meant by a "lament of innocence."

I really don't intend to be threadjacking, so I will be opening up a Fan Stuff thread quite soon.

I was second-guessing myself because of the length of his hair, and thought it was Simon. But come to think of it, Leon does make sense also because he was the first Belmont, and the most legendary. I thought the people in his hand were victims...but with Dracula, everyone who adores him is a victim.

The boxset is very beautifully designed though. I love how the discs spell out "DRACULA THE IMMORTAL." Poster-sized images of those drawings would be amazing, they'd go great on either side of my framed PoR soundtrack poster.

I've been considering starting an art thread once I get all my pieces together. I may post a couple in this thread for you to see, I have two ready (Sara and Shanoa). However, I've been a bit reluctant to share Castlevania fanart because a lot of it seems to be a target of homophobic comments. I've gotten those types of comments on two of my pictures, one of which I did for a friend. It really upset me. Thing is, they were portraits of Isaac and Aeon respectively, and neither were mature or even suggestive, and I don't plan on drawing CV yaoi anytime soon. Until I have the guts to start an art thread, I will upload some samples of my CV "icon" art. I also have a deviantART page. It is marked as my website URL so you can just click the little globe here to go to it.

If people are making those kind of comments, they deserve to be made as uncomfortable as possible. Draw with more vigor and with more homosexual undertones to cause them mental suffering and anguish.

Alternatively, you could draw your interpretation of Motorcycle Skeleton's ending if he were a playable character in Judgment.

Haha, I read your post this morning and it made my day. In fact, you moved me to draw a quick doodle of Motorcycle Skeleton driving out of the time rift with a shocked Aeon looking on. Good show, good show.

My thread is open. --> http://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/index.php?topic=3143.0

Yes they're awesome because they're in correct byzantine style, the real deal in ancient churches. Particularly reminiscient of St. George and the Dragon:



Check the dragon which looks like a dog with bat wings, that's spot on for Dracula's pic. Props for the little people in his hands! What gives them away is the teeth and exaggerated dress features for Dracula, which are not medieval iconography, and the whip. Otherwise, splendid.

You are correct.

It is worth noting that during the 11th century, Wallachia was just outside the boundary of the Roman Catholic Church's coverage, and the westernmost province covered by the Eastern Church. Sypha Belnades also took refuge in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Therefore, it would make sense to have Eastern-style iconography, which Kojima got down surprisingly well.
