Finally this 400 year old hottie is finished. Feeding the Alucard obsession once every three years

. I shudder when I look back at my last painting of him, so I hope this is an improvement lol. A few things that need work on this, but for now I've gotten to the point where touching it more is making it look worse... Somewhat original costume... the basics remain the same but I kind of wanted to do him up in 18th Century goodness

.
I've had the Lament of Innocence/Curse of Darkness/Symphony of the Night soundtracks on repeat for about like two months because of this painting LOL. I'm about ready to listen to something else for a little hahah. Furthermore, I will take this time to say that the English VA for Alucard absolutely ruined him IMO lol. If you're curious here is a clip of his Japanese voice talking:
[link] . WAY HOTTER. LOL...just saying >_>.
Thanks for looking, hope you guys like it

!
If you're curious (again), I have the sketch this all started with on dA as well here:

Time spent on this: way too long... but worth it

I'm a huge fan of Castlevania, and a huge fan of Bastion.
I think I love you </3
ALUCARD.
hmm for Castlevania its less Ghotic touch.
Alucard must more pale.
try a dark shade for bottom of paint.
