Weapon Masters

My submission I made for the @darkstalkersfanzine that just released officially via digital means, 27/11/2023! The first ever zine I ever participated in and while I was nervous about having to meet a deadline considering my still shaky ability to focus on art, I managed to get this piece done in time! Not only that, but I also made an absolute banger of a masterpiece of my favorite characters in both Darkstalkers and all of media! Since it's my most recent art of the two, it means I get to update Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling with a few new details I have both gotten from commissions and my own thoughts. Very elated with how incredible they look. Not only that, further working on my style of rendering and trying new things out as well! As the title suggests, these two are masters of weapons! In Cryas Darkstalkers, Mei-Ling is actually the most seasoned between the two as she has a genuine love and appreciation for different forms of weaponry. She taught Hsien-Ko all she knows and even crafted all her weapons for her little sister! For the weapons both are currently wielding, Hsien-Ko is wielding a zǐwǔ (子午) while Mei-Ling is with the liúxīngchuí (流星錘). Stances where they are both graceful and strong. Very proud of this and happy to finally share some new art after a drought for a while! I hope you enjoy! 🥹🥰 If you wish to view the zine, please check out @darkstalkersfanzine for information regarding where you can view the zine for your viewing pleasure!
