first post. stole a height chart of the polucule and added my self-insert oc because dracula's got three wives yo

my character is a witch who is contracted under the hellsing org. she loves everyone, but her smart mouth gets her into trouble fairly often.

hellsing hc height chart but pip's there now hi pip

[herushingu]

Help... my memory... did anyone ever find a Hellsing (Ultimate or other) height chart for Iscariot-?

We have Hellsing

We have Millennium

We even have Jessica and Lief (if only from the Gonzo chart)

But... Iscariot-??

(Obv, I dont mean how Anderson is included in the Hellsing Agency chart for comparison against them lol)

[cocolacola]

ive seen quite a lot of attempts to figure out the heights of hellsing characters based on a few charts we've seen and the most interesting take ive seen is that seras is 5'2. as interesting as that is, id like to reject that notion; as someone that short we would not be out there doing all that

[the-hellsing-organisation]

Has there ever been an official reference for the characters’ heights? I imagine Alucard would easily pass 6’, though I can’t think of anything specific.

I never quite found the source for those, but from the style I would assume they are Ultimate Concept Art - maybe you can find them here.

I found three different sheets:

One for the Hellsing characters (plus Anderson)

And one for Millenium

And one that gives me slightly Gonzo vibes, and as I figured out that's because it is exactly intended to be that, made by fatefuldoe, but added the heights in numbers and Maxwell.

Then beneath in three seperate posts I found heights that slightly differ from each other.

One from gonzoseras adding:

Seras — 173 cm ( 5′6 ft ) Alucard — 210 cm ( 6′8 ft ) Anderson — 205 cm ( 6′7 ft ) Integra — 190 cm ( 6′2 ft ) Luke Valentine — 200 cm ( 6′5 ft )

that crudely drawn Pip looks like 6′4 ft - ish

Tsunbath added:

Ok so here I am with the actual heights, if anyone needs it: Anderson is 205 cm, Alucard is around 210cm, Luke is just under Alucard, Jan is shorter than Luke yet still taller than Seras and Integra. EDIT: examined the chart: Seras is 173 cm (same as me,ha), Integra is 180 cm, Luke is 200 cm.

And cryptidprincex added:

For those of you who are too lazy to convert it into more familiar heights, if these heights are correct they are as follows;

Alucard - 6′9′’ ish

Anderson - 6′7′’

Luke - 6′5′’

Integra - 5′9′’

Seras - 5′6′’

It’s pretty safe to assume Walter is around 5′10′’ - 5′11′’ , Jan and Pip are probably around the 6′ mark, give or take a few cm, Pip being just over, Jan being just under.

How do you keep proportions consistent when drawing the body at more natural angles and poses?

Retaining proportions between characers can be incredibly difficult, especially if height difference is either very dramatic, or subtle but visible. As you grow as an artist, you’ll pick up thumbrules about height ( how the length of certain limbs correspond to the length of another, or how the full height of a character corresponds to a certain set of heads ), but while practicing these anatomical thumbrules, which happen to fluctuate between characters as well ( which is why you sometimes might feel like you have to start over, when learning the height and proportions of a new character ), there’s a few methods and tools that you can use to reference the height of your characters. 

Mr Initial Man

This tool can’t show you any characters in motion, but it’s a good and quick tool made for you to gain a quick overview over the height difference between characters, based on their height in numbers. Through here, you can type in their height either in inches or in cm, and it will be converted to a very simple graphic. This is a tool i use a whole lot when constructing height chart sheets. And let’s talk about model sheets.  https://www.mrinitialman.com/OddsEnds/Sizes/compsizes.xhtml

Model sheets

A lot of animated shows, movies and productions make these height-chart sheets. This particular one is from the Hellsing anime, where the height-difference between characters is rather dramatic. If you’re planning on drawing two or more characters a lot, i’d recommend making model sheets, especially if you’re planning storytelling projects. Once again, this chart can’t show you how to retain proportion when drawing the character’s in action. But it can give a rough idea as to how the basic difference looks, from which you can make adjustments as neccessary. 

Terawell Designdoll

Posing software is probably one of the more versatile and easiest ways to set up a reference that you can use when drawing your characters. However, naturally this software needs to have customization available for your reference dolls, so that you can tweak them to fit the size difference you need. Terawell’s DesignDoll has a selection of tweakable features and a posing software that should help you get started with that. 

https://terawell.net/terawell/?page_id=20251

Other than that, it’s just about going through the process of laying out your characters and their poses again and again, while keeping their proportions in mind. You know the drill, practice, practice, practice. ‘’

Hellsing Ultimate Cast Height Chart

Source X, X

[merumely]

They have to bend down through doorways indeed

i revised the height chart and made a gonzo one as well!

i included the heights in cm that were written directly on the gonzo chart and used those as a starting point for both versions.

personally i will be going with the gonzo one for my work, because the ultimate chart was pretty clearly only intended to be a very quick reference (whole thing was slanted, had characters in multiple perspectives standing on different planes, etc. i had to do a lot of work to get things aligned!!)

might still drop everyone down a couple inches though, honestly. poor alucard and anderson can’t fit through the average doorway without bending down, bless their hearts

also seras isn’t allowed to be taller than me she’s baby

anyway this post brought to you by my discovery that bo burnham is 6-foot-fuckin-5 and the mental readjustment that ensued

[ajstudio]

Alucard's shoulders are 2'1 wide! I measured with the freaking measuring ruler on the left side of the picture.

That Gonzo sketch is a discarded prototype and isnt canon, something that is also somewhat commented on in a Newtype interview where they use similar heights for the final Gonzo product but specify that the heights are not set in stone and are just a vague guideline for artistic interpretation. What matters is making the characters intimidating based on how tall they are;

Rough translation:

The tallest is the alucard, which is 210 cm including the hat. Andersen 205cm Integra 190cm, Serras is her 173cm. However, this number is not really that high, but rather "the result of thinking that it is better to look a lot bigger in order to give the intimidating feeling of the arcards. The height of Celas is also the arcard and one frame. It was decided because of the convenience of acting inside "(Iida), and it seems that the numerical value itself has no particular meaning.

Alucard is measured at 6 feet 8 inches, yes... but that's WITH the hat (something they seem to have changed from the upthread sketch), meaning he's not really that tall. Take off an inch, at least.

Also, the images compiled for the official interview final product were not created to be in a height chart, these are merely separate concept arts that were lined up for a makeshift height chart just for vague artist reference, so these heights cant be matched up to precision... something i tried to do once LOL. It doesnt really work out tbh.

Also, based on my own compiled data (by comparing select screenshots) for fanart purposes:

Fargason = 7'3

Chris Pickman = 6'7

Incognito = 7'8

Harry Anders = 6'1

Helena = 4'4

Laura "Hellsing" = 7'

Since we get the Major's height (5'2) mentioned in manga canon we can line him up to everyone else in a domino influence to get the following canon manga heights:

Alucard = 7'1 (without the hat, lol)

Seras = 5'7

Pip = 6'5

Walter = 6'8

Integra = 5'9

Enrico = 5'11

Anderson = 7'

Heinkel = 5'11

Yumie = 5'7

Captain = 7'

Dandy = 6'4

Luke = 6'10

Jan = 6'7

Penwood = 6'6

Irons = 6'3

Coffin = 8'7

Makube = 6'2

Schrödinger = 4'9

Rip = 6'10

... and thats all i had on hand, as I was planning a group picture recently and dug those heights out of my manga notes lol. I have characters like Zorin (+Scythe) worked out, but id have to go digging again.

Just keep in mind that, as the interview says, its not about exact numbers, its about the level of intimidation a character is supposed to have compared to the other characters.

On a fun analysis level, that equates to Major being very small and insignificant; he cant shoot, he cant do ANYTHING - except plan war. He cant even sell a line, which is why the Nazis treated him so poorly, he could never have whipped up a war on his own cleverly written lines, he had to use the Nazis' manipulative efforts to do it for him then just fly their flag and blow stuff up. He, himself, holds no intimidation factor, its his war strategy brain thats the weapon, lol. This small and insignificant man made a BIG problem out of himself, and being so incapable outside of war plans might contribute to the reasons for his goals. Schrödinger too; his only power is being everywhere and nowhere, he has nothing intimidating to offer except being the spice on a midian side-dish, so he's super short. Alucard is the tallest (or, second tallest, in Gonzo) character and has the most abilities. This is actually why, in some shots, Hirano made child Walter "too tall" (because he's capable, thus has intimidation) and I had to second-look to that poster of him and Girlycard together to really figure the heights more properly. Like all Hirano's anatomy, his heights arent always precisely consistent (in one panel of the manga, its somewhat implied that Integra is 6'5", lmao).

Tl;dr, how much of a weapon is a character capable of being? Whatever the answer is, thats how canon-tall they are. Thats the Hirano way, lol.

Has there ever been an official reference for the characters’ heights? I imagine Alucard would easily pass 6’, though I can’t think of anything specific.
