do fanfic creations count?

[Rudolph LagnaGaisaer]

Spriggans were depicted as grotesquely ugly, and were said to be found at old ruins and barrows ''guarding buried treasure'' and generally acting as bodyguards. Though usually small, they had the ability to swell to enormous size (they were sometimes speculated to be the ghosts of the old giants).
Certainly their disposition was poor, and they caused mischief to those who offended them. They sent storms to blight crops, and sometimes stole away mortal children, leaving their ugly changelings in their place. In one story, an old woman got the better of a band of Spriggans by turning her clothing inside-out (turning clothing supposedly being as effective as holy water or iron in repelling fairies) to gain their loot.

Huh.  Cool beans.  But this leaves me with the question of... "Why do they have the design they have in Harmony of Dissonance?"

the best monster is the butcher of lords of shadows, the best boss is the fight of mirror of fate because is a hero that is the boss and save his son and that is the best part, if you love you father.

who will understand kojima crazy designs ?. and what passes on her artist mind. this is what a artist passes to other people. doubt and guessing.

[Skycaptain Steampunk]

Because kojima is draw the pretty boys and all is anime, that why you and other peoples cant undesrtand, because castlevania must have the warriors.

Did she design the enemies? I'll have to check the credits some time.

You know who has some really trippy monsters is Yoshitaka Amano.  I went through some of Amano's old art and it's really... trippy.

1. Did you seriously just suggest that Ayami Kojima's style is 'all anime'?  I hope I've misunderstood and you're just talking about Rondo/DoS/PoR, and Kojima only did some bonus/remake stuff for those games at most.

3. Rather odd to me you don't approve of pretty boys kicking ass, considering Spain's history of art.  Guess you can't be feminine and be a warrior.  That's not insulting at all.

I think Ayami Kojima creates pretty boys, indeed.
What I don't agree is that's a bad thing.
Pretty boys dressing like ancient noble men is one of the things I like the most about the Castlevania universe, even some Lords of Shadows characters.
I wouldn't say they are pretty boys, though. Handsome men would be a more accurate term, in my opinion. And that's always beautiful.
Sometimes, in a world that refuse to show its kind side to us, beauty from an alternate reality can be to our souls the only ease...

Thank you Pfil for such lovely words.
I believe that when Ayami Kojima created those beautiful characters, Castlevania gained more female fans. That was certain in my case.

Thanks to you for liking them!
It was certain in my case, also. I was fascinated with SotN, then knew the rest of the saga (I still recall getting and playing all the games I could, even fan games, one after another, in just a few months), and eventually (and soon) Castlevania became the greatest thing ever to me.

[Lelygax]

Pfil, can I ask you to do a topic with a list of all fangames that you can recall (even those that only plays like CV or something like that)? Maybe we can turn it in a supreme fangame topic sharing our knowlodge xD
