Alphas are probably scarier in this game than in PLA because of a lot of things, but I can’t get over how chunky alpha victreebel is. (Got an alpha bellsprout by the skin of my teeth while I was hella underleveled and now I have a chonk)

I know it’s been several days since the alleged rapture day, but I’m only now realizing that somebody had the opportunity to do the funniest shit ever by blaring the BGM for this on the loudspeaker somewhere.

I feel having a cat makes me more compelled to want to give my characters pets.
For example, the royal family has Laika, an Emallan Wolfhound. (Fictional breed.) Her name takes inspiration from Laika the space dog, although she also takes inspiration from Nana from Peter Pan.

Castlevania was one of the biggest offenders of this in the media I had growing up even though I didn’t necessarily play the games - I largely studied the art.
On that note, I don’t think I ever really commented on Annette in Castlevania Nocturne, and I was like YEAHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rough warm-up sketch.
Almost nothing has changed with Arien’s visual design for 4+ years except for the way he decides to cover his face: a better black swan motif to match his sister but also, his face is more obscured.

Literally every time I attempt to commission anyone, I have terrible refs, so I'm trying to fix that, but it still works as general concept art.
