Comicon Challenge 2009 | Bloodeye | Alucard


Bloodeye has entered the competition!

Alucard: I found out my submissions to the Dominance War this year were funky or something and didn't get accepted. So, I intend to make up for that here.

Alucard actually has quite a few looks to work with, so I'm gonna mix and match to figure out how i want him to look.

[toma_li]

set him in the 60's like a swing daddyo with flares and a quiffff

[Bloodeye]

Ahahaha! That would be great Toma. Still got to figure out what I want him to look like...

I'm half way tempted to make him into "Girlycard"...

Okay so here's a quick Photoshop sketch. I'm gonna switch back to pencil though, I'm not getting the kind of control I'd like for drawing in Photoshop.

Went for a gunslinger look.

[Bloodeye]

I did a sheet, since everyone else is doing it and it's probably a good idea...

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

I love Alucard! ^_^
Especially some of his more exotic forms!
Can't wait!

[Ksan]

Alucard is a great one! I love insane characters, and he takes the cake. Looking forward to see what you come up with.

[Bloodeye]

Here's a first decent sketch. I'm thinking of making Alucard into a western gunslinger:

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

Hmmm... nice drawings, I like were you are going with this! I like the idea...But... I think if you're going to make him into a western gunslinger you might want to push the idea a lot farther. Alucard already looks a bit like one...

IDEAS:
Give him some cowboy boots
leather chaps
make the hat more like the iconic cowboy hat with a larger brim
Devil May Cry 4's Dante has some wild west bits to him that might help to inspire you: http://www.gameartisans.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=10073

That's all I got for now... ^^;

[Bloodeye]

Thanks Razvan. I went with your idea and did a new sketch. But, I got looking on the internet for some reference material and I nearly slapped myself for not thinking of this before:



CLINT EASTWOOD!!!

If I can somehow merge Alucard and Clint Eastwod together into one, I think this'll be even more awesome than I thought it was gonna be.

Anyway, here's a sketch that isn't Clint Eastwood related (sorry). I got to looking at some western attire and mixed and matched what I liked. I also went through some old guns to figure out what i could use to replace the .454 Casull and the Jackal.

I thought, since the .454 Casull resembles a Colt 1911 .45, I figured that a Colt Peacemaker would make a decent replacement:



As for the Jackal, I wanted to keep the square look. So, I thought a Colt Patterson revolver would fit the look:



Anyway, here's the sketch.

[Bloodeye]

I did a quick speed paint today, working with a different angle than the standard duster coat...

What do you call those things though? Is it a poncho? I don't know.

Thing is now... he kinda looks like Vincent Valentine

[Razvan-Sedekiah]

NIce!

May I suggest a pentagram, instead of the current stars? I think I remember the pentagram being on alucard's gloves?? I think there was other stuff on there too... that other stuff might look nice too?
GLOVES:

OH! I just found a beautiful reproduction of the glove pattern!!:

[Bloodeye]

Thanks Raz! I was looking for that...

I felt like doing some better pics of the renovated Casull and Jackal in my idea.

The first two pics are of the original guns Alucard carries around, while the last is my concept for them as Western revolvers

[Bloodeye]

more sketches

[Ksan]

I'd have to go with 2. Enough there to "play" with, but still see enough of the suit.

[slebbo]

I also would go with 2 or maybe 3.

[WhiteGuardian]

Nice progress so far dude. :thumb:

I pick C

For the gun i think Trigun or Devil May Cry are nice references :think:

[Bloodeye]

Thanks for the replies guys.

I seem to be drawn to the sash around the waist. Gun belts were only popular when riding, so only cowboys really carried them. Most people who carried guns in the old West had them in their pockets, or stuck in their belts or pants. Sashes were also popular.

Anyway, I did some more sketches, working with numbers 2 and 3:

[Bloodeye]

Well I'm stuck on what kind of pose I should go for (I'm not even done fleshing out how I want Alucard to look exactly).

I'm gonna go watch the anime and the OVAs to get some ideas.

[Alexson]

Nice stuff here mate. I must say I like 3 the most, but I think with a long cape like the one nr. 1 has would be cool. Keep up the good work :thumb:

[WhiteGuardian]

I pick no 3 man.
Nice concept so far :thumb:
Show us the weapon concept
