Christopher Belmont - Tumblr Posts

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)

please tag your most obscure blorbo

Castlevania chibis update!

I'll have Maxim, Juste and the others I'm missing done soon!!

To answer some questions, I am planning to make these keyrings or stickers! It'll take time but I'll get them done!!!

I'm so glad to have gotten into the castlevania games, the community has been nothing but kind : )

Christopher is fun to doodle, he has a lot of neat designs to work with. Also two where he’s shirtless lol. I’m silly and like explaining doodles when I can so uh yeah. Most of these were pose and muscle anatomy practice. The third I drew after beating the first boss in The Adventure. The heavily shaded ones are based on a particular official art that I wanna post about sometime later >:3. And Simon is here cause I think they’d get along :)! There’s also a silly whiteboard doodle and a very unfinished side profile of him lol.

I think about this artwork of Christopher doing a spooky smile and the fact that the boss theme from The Adventure is called “Kill! Kill! Kill!” sometimes. I know his games don’t really give him a whole lot of characterization, but man I’m taking this as a character trait now lol. Serious, wholesome Mr. Dad Belmont himself can be a little sadistic if he wants to, like his job as a vampire hunter a little too much maybe—

Belmonts are allowed to be a little scary sometimes I think :3

Aaaaa I keep forgetting what I have and have not posted yet, so here’s something I definitely haven’t shared. I made a couple sprites of other Belmonts as NES sprites :3. Kinda an art style study I guess, it was fun! I think some of them could use some tweaking tho tbh, especially since I’m not sure if they actually line up with the NES 256 color palette, I just guessed. But yeah :3. Some dudes!

*battle of the holy intensifies*

This Bloodlines timeline document has some names of characters that are never actually ever seen in a game, so I decided to give some designs and ideas to them :3. I know that it’s mostly defunct material (even for Bloodlines itself considering it still has Bolt Ericsson, who was scrapped from the final release on it), but I’m just gonna take bits of it that I like anyway lol.

So this is my take on Cyncia, Christopher’s wife. Maybe when Christopher is off fighting Dracula, she’s at home beating the hell out of bats and skeletons trying to get into the house hmmm. Or idk maybe she should get to come with the second time hmmmm >:). Anyway, the embroidery details on her clothes are all scribbley cause I couldn’t decide on patterns, but just imagine that it’s actually nice embroidery oof (TwT ). The first image is kinda like a talking sprite pose now that I’m looking at it. Sadly there’s not too much to say about her because she uh kinda only exists in development limbo so uh yeah :’(.

There’s also the other two kids! It’s such a cool concept of a Belmont having siblings, I wish they address that concept more often :O. In my interpretation I have Gerhart as the oldest, Soleil in the middle, and Amanda as the youngest. The text says that Gerhart “strangely died” so I was thinking about the concept that he died at 15 not long after the Vampire Killer was passed down to him, making Soleil the next in line. I think that’d add a lot to how Soleil was possessed, he would be feeling awful about taking his brother’s place and possessions in other games tend to have the character have some kind of emotional weakness that was an opening for something to get to them, if that makes sense. But yeah, again, sadly not too much to say about the two themselves since they don’t appear anywhere.

If ever we get some really nice Christoper games remake (1. I am aware Rebirth exists 2. Konami will never cause they’re cowards), I really really wanna see these three end up in it. Cause as of now it’s just sad seeing them be names in an unused developer document when they have really good potential. It’d be cool to see that part of the series get fleshed out more in general because, as much as I LOVE the Christopher games, they are barely written ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡. Which is a shame because Christopher seemed to be planned to be something a lot bigger than that, ya know? There was a weird time he and Trevor were almost the same person in development, but the name Christopher is used as the name of the ancestor Simon looked up to and I feel like he and his story should’ve been way more important, ya know??? Like it does get used as foreshadowing for Richter and Maxim and other characters that get possessed later but mannnnnnnn. Justice for Christopher, and also justice for Cyncia too.

Asdfghjkll maybe make her playable in a Belmont’s Revenge remake that’d be so cool I wanna have my Murder Dad and Murder Mom tag team. Also that fits the themes of “he went at it alone and things went wrong but it went right the second time cause he wasn’t alone” and aaaaaaaaaaa do you see my vision

Some random doodles :3. I’ll put some explanations and stuff under a cut on this post cause eh it’s fun explaining things and I guess hope they’re at least kinda helpful or interesting:

Based on some promotional art of Christopher getting some really harsh shading and a spooky smile, the text says “Aw little guy!” “Oh he’s a little bit fucked up actually..”

This one is based on the song “Triple Baka” lol. I like to think these three would get along, the older classicvania trio X3.

The text says “a menace (affectionate” with an arrow pointing to Trevor and “menacing” with an arrow pointing to Christopher. I l think Trevor would probably generally tease all of the Belmonts younger than him if they met, so he’s giving Chris the old bunny ears photobomb hehehe. Christopher also has a shirt that says “world’s best grandpa”.

This one I just imagined Chris in a sweater vest and it looks nice on him, although now that I’m thinking about it he might wear one with like a white turtleneck under it rather than a button up tbh. Also haha “#1 Dad” mug cause yeah, Mr. Dad Belmont. It’s not coffee btw, it’s hot cocoa, but how one would convey that in a tiny pencil doodle is beyond me lol. The bottom text says “scalded his tongue” with an arrow at him, he was a little impatient—

This one exists cause I was having a conversation about how Castlevania doesn’t have enough silly merch (or merch in general) like other media and ran into some pictures of those like tsun tsun style plushies of some vocaloids and immediately thought that would be hilarious. Stupid, silly little Belmont cylinders lmao, I wish man. I meant to draw more than just Christopher, but I forgot alas.

This is just a couple doodles of the same interaction. For one, I think Christopher and Simon would get along great, like really close family. And for two, I think it would probably take a very long time for Simon to be comfortable around anyone, but when he does he is immediately in your personal space. Combine this with the him not sitting correctly or still in chairs and yeah he’s been changing position every few minutes. He also hasn’t said a word the whole time 💀. Christopher doesn’t mind tho, he doesn’t get distracted easily and generally appreciates having company. The text says “they are friends” and “trying to determine what book he’s reading”. There’s also a Chris tbh creature (I think I’ve drawn just about every Belmont as one at some point in my life) and I am aware that Simon smiling doodle has already been posted, I just didn’t wanna cut it in half trying to crop the photo!

Yeah that’s about it, just some little stuff for now. I need to let myself doodle more often, especially character interactions cause they’re fun :3.
