Dracula’s curse gang

What if the Powerpuff Girls were in Castlevania III…

[srvanderino]

Ooh-wee-hoo, I look just like Trevor Belmont~! Oh-oh, and you're Sypha Belnades~! I don't care what Drac says about us anyway~! I don't care about that~!

Trevor: "Sypha said she doesn't love me anymore!" 😭

Sypha: "That is not what I said, I said that you couldn't go to the Easter Mass with Alucard and Grant to throw rocks at the Pope....."

Trevor: "It's the same thing!....." 😢

LOOK AT THEMMMM CRIES

I'm not fully satisfied... but drawing Alucard horrified is kinda fun tbh ❤️

Maybe I'll redraw it at some point in the future. Because that fight is horrible and I love when Characters are in pain ❤️

Baby's first steps? No, it's Baby's first special ability.

In a previous comic I showed a little bappy Christopher getting a grasp on his climbing skills, though handy it's not something solely for combat. So knowing his combative unique ability in the bloodline, I wondered how that would've manifested at an early age.

I hate how little appreciation Grant Danasty gets in the CV community, especially that from Netflixvania. His background as a rogue as well as his moveset/abilities would've blended right in with something like Assassin's Creed. I feel like, if given the proper chance to shine, he would've been a more fan-favorite chance.

Sadly it's not just NFCV's fault. Grant has been neglected for a long, long time, to the point that even his equivalent Hammer was scrapped from Julius Mode in DoS. Maybe not having a special bishounen Kojima design was the fatal blow :P

Man, can you imagine Grant as an alt. mode in a Metroidvania game. He'd put Maxim to shame. He's already very fun in CV3 :( or better yet Akumajou Densetsu, with the flying knives

And lore-wise, he would be the perfect symbol of what the series is about: the strength of mankind. Sure, you have the Belmonts, with their unstoppable drive to free the world of Dracula, with God and a pissed off whip at their side... but Grant is just. a dude. no tragic backstory, no special powers. and he doesn't let that stop him. He can go toe to toe with the Legendary Belmont, Dracula's son, and the most powerful witch of her time if not her whole lineage. And he still wants to help people by rebuilding what was destroyed!

Also it's fun to imagine him as a jokester getting along with Trevor, being as thick as thieves (hah) or contrasting with the more refined Alucard :P

And so my friends, our grand adventure comes to an end.

For now at least.

What the fuck were the character designs in Castlevania Judgement

Weird first post for a blog supposedly about anarchism and/or game design, but it includes designs in a game and I do what I want so fuck it. I just became aware of Castlevania Judgement, a 2009 fighting game featuring a grab bag of characters from across the Castlevania franchise. And the visual designs of the characters in this game are absolutely fucking BATSHIT, and not (in my opinion) in a good way. I'm gonna show you (with "you" being the roughly two hypothetical people who might actually see this post) a few examples to demonstrate what I mean.

First we got Trevor Belmont. Why is he called Ralph in this? Fucked if I know. Look at the straps on this son of a bitch's chest! Why the everloving fuck would an outfit need this many straps? Are the gray bits meant to be metal or leather? Genuinely can't tell. And would you believe me if I told you this is one of the least insane designs in this game?

This is Grant Danasty. Why? Why any of this? He's not fucking mummified in the game he originally appears in. He's just a dude. What is going on with his proportions, how is he supposed to use that weapon without shredding his arm, and what the fuck is up with those inward-facing spikes on his wrist? Weird shit on the wrists and feet is going to be a common theme with these designs. That and random, unnecessary spikes sticking off of everything.

Then there's Sypha Belnades. Setting aside that goofy-looking bulbous staff, just take a look at those boots. What the fuck are those metal crosses doing sticking off the front of her high heels? Are they supposed to be armour? How are they even attached? And what in the world is that on her wrist? Utterly unhinged. That's not even to mention the egregiously tight pants and the unbelievably tittieful top they've got her in: we'll see much worse in that department later on.

Next up is Maria Renard. So much "what the fuck" going on here. Again, the shoes are unhinged. The pink front bits, the boosted heeled soles, and the black parts look like pieces of three separate pieces of footwear stitched together very poorly. What are those black straps just above the boots? Part of the tights? Individual straps that she puts on one at a time over the tights? Madness. What are those plus-shaped things holding her pigtails? The dress is just four different 2012 Hot Topic outfits torn up and haphazardly sewn together, and that staff. What in the holy blessed fuck is that staff? Fucking candelabra-ass base, tiny little narrow bit connecting the cage to the rest of it about to snap off at any moment, and is that bird meant to be in horrible agony inside that twisted metal cage? Because it definitely is. Also, deduct 1,000 points for putting the small child in such a short skirt, obviously. Disgusting, hate to see it, moving on.

Alucard, my beloved. What have they done to you? Look at those gauntlets. The upward pointing spike. The looping bit of metal from the wrist to the elbow. What would possess someone to design gauntlets that way? More random spikes on the pointless red line curving across his chest. And again, the boots are unbelievable. Look at the ankles. Why is there that bulging out bit? What purpose does that serve other than to make the wearer trip on their own feet constantly? Outrageous.

Motherfucking Dracula. Lord of Darkness, most powerful vampire in history, etc. He has two rows of what appear to be golden nipples running down his chest. They're not spikes, they're clearly hollow. What the fuck else would you even call them? And then of course there's the exorbitant amount of pointless spikes coming off of his back and the mantle behind his head. Why the squiggly lines along his sleeve? Thank fuck we can't see his feet so we're not subjected to more atrocious boots. But don't you motherfuckers worry. I saved the worst for last.

Carmilla. For the love of all that is holy, what the FUCK have they done to Carmilla? Look at this! Where do I even start? Of course there's the elephant in the room, and the elephant is tits. The design is hyper-sexualized to a comical degree, of course, but that's not uncommon. It's not that she's in elaborate BDSM gear that melts my brain here. What is going on with that...weapon? Oddly shaped, spikey shield with two spikey balls sticking off the side and a bizarrely curved blade protruding out from the front? Never mind how that blade seems barely attached and liable to snap off on the first swing, how is she supposed to even use it? I've looked up gameplay clips of her fighting, but everything is so visually messy in the clips I've found that it's hard to tell what's meant to be happening. The only thing the camera ever focuses clearly on is her boobs jiggling. Then of course there's the outrageous gauntlet on her off-hand, with another precariously attached, oddly shaped, utterly pointless blade sticking off her forearm. Obviously there's the ubiquitous unnecessary spikes all over everything. But worst of all, as usual, is the boots. I've run out of different ways to say what the fuck in this post, so I'll do it in caps: WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE? The blades sticking up in the back that look like they'd shred her calves when she walks. The protruding bladed disks coming off the heels that would shred her ankles when she walks. The oddly angled spikes on either side of the front. Perhaps most nonsensically, the fact that the boots don't seem to be secured to her feet in any way: looks like she just slips her feet into them, no straps or anything. She's supposed to be FIGHTING in these! This shit is insane, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

What was the art director thinking? What could have possibly been the rationale for this design philosophy? I don't know, but I needed to share. If anyone sees this rambling mess of a post and wants to share their own favourite examples of bugfuck nonsense videogame character designs, I'd love to see them.

Castlevania III gang

(Trevor, Grant, Sypha & Alucard)

[chibishortdeath]

Cause I won’t be able to to Draculatober this year, I’m reposting my last year (I think) ones :3. I only made it like uhhhh to day 9 I think? I put Trevor, Sypha, Grant, and Alucard all together into one prompt and Rosaly wasn’t on the list but I wanted to draw her anyway. Hopefully I’ll have something Halloween-y drawn this year (TwT ).
