Castlevania Artists - Tumblr Posts

Beautyful Artwork 🌹🖤

Do you think after a decade or so of watching over the castle with no one but the ghosts of his past, Alucard becomes a bit disheveled?

Run from the Darkness, and bath into the Light.

A quick colour practice.

Simon Belmont with the Nintendo Switch, what game will he play :O

Christopher yippie!!!! His games are fun, the Mr Dad Belmont. Idk how to edit this so that one picture is larger than the others so uh yeah

Also a doodle based on the joke that he looked anemic as I was coloring him lol. Soleil is being a good helpful son rn (he can use the microwave)

Ya know what I think is really sad? There’s so many artists who have worked on Castlevania that either don’t get credited, have incredibly little information about them, or aren’t appreciated nearly as much by the fandom as others. It’s to the point where while I was looking up information for this post, Google was only giving me Ayami Kojima as the answer for “who painted the Castlevania 1 cover art”. Which is so sad because! like! I love Ayami’s artwork!!! But she is not the only artist for the series! And I love everyone else’s artwork too!!!!!!!! :(

Anyway, the only information I could find about the art of CV1 and CV2 is that Noriyasu Togakushi was the character designer for the games, as well as for CV3. But I’m not sure which artworks he did for these games. Some sources claim that he did the cover art for the first two games, others (updated just as recently) claim that the cover artists for both games is completely unknown. And I’m not sure if he did the cute little manual doodles and concept sketches either, but I’d say those are probably more likely his since cover arts were commonly outsourced at the time and concept sketches like that seem more in line with the work of a character designer, but I could be wrong. Sadly, many websites have a habit of crediting an artist and then not specifying what works are theirs. And judging by how little information there is regarding everyone involved with working on those games, even the main writer/director, it’s also possible that we might not actually know which works are his.

Regardless, I wanna thank this guy for probably having designed Simon Belmont, the man I draw or want to draw almost every day of my life :)

I hope that the images show up correctly cause I’ve been having some weird issues with images lately. When cropping the image, it shows the correct one, but the thumbnails aren’t showing up right at all on my end. I was initially going to make this a larger multi artist appreciation post, but I don’t wanna have all the images switching for no reason with that many images ugh. So uh yeah ok bye—

I just remembered that I have not yet posted my profile pic here yet! I made this a while back on Dotpict. Fairly good program, kinda sad it has pop up ads now tho. He cry blood :).

There’s two other versions of it, the still sprite and one with an instagram filter on it that I thought looked cool d(^w^ )

Maxim is cool d(^^ ). I love HoD tbh, it’s so overhated. Hopefully the glare isn’t to bad, water color and my lights don’t really agree with each other oof. This is my second time writing a description for this cause Tumblr didn’t load the post correctly so I forgor all of what I said the first time whoops.

Concept sketches and doodles under the cut!

Drawing muscles is so fun :3. I wanna try to make more illustrations like this, but idk sometimes the vibes are just off and he ends up with way less detail than intended lol. But yeah, he’s standin.

Hehe bonus: a little doodle based on a pinup I ran into >:3

Disgusting creature (begins sobbing)
