Of course let's ignore the fact that sonic reaper is working as a sprite artist so he knows his stuff (at least from what I heard). He's a hater in your eyes because he can recognise amateurish work from professional. :

Did you not read my reply a few pages back? Spriting black hair onto a dark/black background is gonna turn out horrible. Ask any sprite artist.

Did I say I was talking about the hair color? I was referring to the difference in clothing and the character's mega-bust compared to her artwork's chest.

But does it matter here? The backgrounds are so bright and neony you could even see batman on it like he was right out in the daylight by a wall painted white.

Why, are you one? Look at her artwork. Look at her sprite. You need only eyes to see the difference.

The sprite has a DD sized bust compared to the portrait. And the front of her outfit is completely different on the sprite.

O.K. guys, here is what i think after i saw these pictures with one friend, i think that the guy who has post this pictures might was someone from Konami and threw those pictures on purpose to test what the people will say, so they could plan their next move and how to develop the rest of the game, based at our opinions.

[Long John Silver]

I heard the guy who leaked those got fired from konami few hours after the leak, so i doubt it was intentional.

Where did you heard this? So that means they are official?

Then this game has a lot of work to be done to succeed or it will suck worst than what Harmony did.

You people never cease to amaze me.

Nintendo power magazine of january will have an interview with IGA according to go nintendo and from what i read from the preview of the magazine, IGA states that he's not into making a wii version of castlevania and that he's focused at the new Castlevania on DS!

  So, when the magazine comes out, then maybe will learn something about the new game and how accurate are these pictures!

I'm not a sprite artist, but I would like to be.

Also, when does the january Nintendo power come out?

I can't believe I have to repeat myself, I must be surrounded by morons.

They can (and will) re-use whatever they want in the testing versions of the game. They will obviously NOT put effort into graphics, sprites, and backgrounds of a game that was never intended to be seen by non-Konami employees.

The final version of the game will obviously NOT look as bad as the screen-shots that got leaked; but it's moronic people who think it will, that has caused Konami to be such wusses and not let any pics out to the public until the game is absolutely finished. That's why the guy who leaked the pics got fired from Konami, suspended from gamefaqs, and why Konami is taking legal action in trying to remove the pic from websites.

The game is and always was intended to be shown to the public sooner or later.  And until that point, they should be working towards making it presentable.  And what we see here is far, far, far from decent.  It's safe to the say the game won't suddenly become beautiful when it's time for the official unveiling.

[Azmodan]

Whoever said that guy was fired? His account at Gamefaqs was suspended, but it's been restored, albiet with limited posting abilities.

EDIT: Nevermind, turns out he was fired. Or so they say.

I think it looks alright. Not the best, but this is surely at an early stage. Anyway, I think the Wi-Fi connection thing could mean that the next Castlevania will be on the Wii. I'll bet that there's some bonus content available if you have both, kind of like the link between Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion. This could mean that both the new DS title as well as the new Console CV may be announced around the same time.
