Topic: Will Soma ever be back?

[Odile Kuronuma]

The Castlevania Wiki says she's supposed to be Dracula's lover, and the one behind his early resurrection. She's reffered to as the Countess, or Female Dracula.
...and i thought Dracula had good taste in women. She looks nothing like Lisa -____- .

[danceofgold]

Nice render. She's creepier than Dracula XD. Her hair reminds me of the bride of Frankenstein.

She doesn't look evil enough to me...and she looks a bit too old. I'd prefer the look of Carmilla from LOS. Also, I remember reading in the Wikia that she's supposed to be a countess, a former lover of Drac, instead of the old man's reincarnation?

EDIT: Oops Odile, I didn't read your reply

Grim Reaper: 'Why's his face like that boss?'
Dracula: 'Wouldn't your face be that way if my hand was up your keister that far?'
Grim Reaper: 'Err..... y... yeah boss...' -flies away-
Soma: 'THATS why I'm so uncomfortable!?! Fuuuuu-!'
Dracula: 'Silence. We have a 5 year olds birthday to do.'
Soma: 'Rooooiiiight.... how much am I getting for this gig?'

LOL! Perfect for the picture!

Hehe no problem. And according to the castlevania wiki, she's a werewolf, not a vampire.There's no way she can be Dracula's reincarnation

[Dominus]

that's how Bayonetta shoulda looked @.@

I demand an answer RIGHT NAO!!!

Is that your art Flame or no? Looks like Oekikai? (spelling?)

Hopefully my bad humor doesn't make my respectotron readout go downward.

I lol'd hard.

F-FFFFFFF x.o;; wtf wtf. That makes no sense at all! You can't just have canon be that Lisa was the only woman he ever loved (later past/future incarnations notwithstanding) and then turn around 3 years later and be like "Oh, wait, except this chick that he apparently liked enough to want to spend eternity with."

Rage and keysmashes, Konami ;.; </3

Besides, having someone like her as Dracula's love interest is just way too easy. It's expected that he'd end up with the "bloodthirsty Countess" type, which is why Lisa worked so well. Nobody would expect him to fall for some really sweet human lady that just wanted to help people. To me, it adds more to his character to see him with Lisa, especially given that they were married as long as they were and he never did make her a vampire. It's obvious that he loved her very genuinely, so having some other woman pop in all of a sudden is just mind-boggling @.@

I'm suddenly glad Resurrection was cut.

Also, yeah, I'm going to wholeheartedly agree on the taste issue >> Lisa's the bomb diggity.

Lady Dracula's one of the reasons I dislike Resurrection's art direction so much. Urgh!! If her bad 50s-sci-fi hair wasn't bad enough, she has to be wearing one of the most tackiest vamp chick costumes ever. Almost like the type of tacky costumes you see in the flyer papers Halloween stores send out every October(y'know, the stupid "Sexy Vampiress" costume that look ultra cheapo weepo).

[Chernabogue]

This female Dracula/Countess/WTF-it-is is certainely one of the most horrible things I've ever seen.

I think it might have looked a lot better in the sketches, but I do agree that they could have put a bit more effort into the outfit (by, you know, actually giving her one). Also, what is up with the concave stomach?

[Grim_Creeper]

I actually kinda like the whole 50s B-movie vampiress look.

Regarding the concave stomach, I'm under the impression, at least from what I've read of real world vampire lore, that the organs shrink and shrivel, causing the stomach to draw in tightly. Of course it's also said that a vampire while asleep is indistinguishable from a filthy, rotting corpse.

That sorta throws 'sexy' right off the castle balcony, doesn't it?

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

The female dracula is the ONLY reason i was happy resurrection got canceled.

The Soma games were DEFINITELY awesome, but I'm inclined to think we've seen the last of him.  The Lords of Shadow game is classified as a series reboot, which when you think about it, they really needed.  The Castlevania timeline is kind of a mess, and they'd reached sort of a dead end with Soma.  Obviously they could've done more with him, but video game series can jump the shark too.
"Lords of Shadow" was actually the working title that game, in order to keep that they were making a new Castlevania game a secret, as not to take away from their release at the time, Castlevania Judgement.  All our beloved Belmonts are so important to us though, that I can see them appearing in the new Castlevania series in one form or another.

I don't think I'm against the B-movie angle as much as I am the fact that she isn't wearing a top. I like her hair to a degree, and the cape (though I like it better in the concept sketches back there because it looks sort of like flowy kimono sleeves). The skirt is nice, but it'd be better if it went to something.

LOL I guess nothin says lovin like a corpse for a husband!

Really though, that does make a lot of sense. I suppose it initially struck me more as the whole 'exaggerated body image' angle, given how the rest of her looks. That waist isn't even...what. That and, she kind of looks like she just had a really bad face lift.

I do like her ears, though. They may be the first pointy ears I've ever actually thought looked nice.

[Grim_Creeper]

I meant asleep as in 'sun out unconscious'.

I can say from her ay-tire that the setting probably isn't Victorian England.

I'm confused. Is she a vampiress, or a werewolf? I looked up the Castlevania Wiki (again) and found this:

The small text says Ware Woolf(Werewolf) Female Dracula transform
And if you watch the trailer you can see her(i think it's her) transform.
What  i don't get is why  do they call her "Female Dracula"? And why is she dressed as a vampire if she's a Werewolf?
Maybe she likes Dracula's style too much
