Description
Made for 's Castlevania tribute.Long time I've invested in this piece to make it what it is. Also, it's one of my favorite NES games: Castlevania III Dracula's Curse. Original file is 120x180 cms (47,24x70,86 in) at 300dpi, so I might got too ambitious on this particular one trying to get the old gothic church stained glass window look. Nevertheless, I'm way too happy and proud of the result.
Some of the details in this piece are for historical references: last names of Grant and Sypha: DΔneΕti and Vernandes; and the Dracul (Dragon) emblem on the Winged Guard. I gave Sypha a skirt as in Akumajo Dorakyura Pachislot game despite the fact she dresses as a man, Alucard his albine look in SOTN with some outfit changes, and Trevor a coat like in Akumajo Dorakyura Pachislot regarding their original look for the sake of tastes. Hope doesn't bother the more purist of the series.
Hope you like it. Comments are much appreciated.
UPDATE: this piece has many small details, so I uploaded a bigger file to appreciate them and an even bigger file to download just for you. Also gave a little weaker signature so it doesn't bother too much.

EDIT: Many have PM'ed me. So... as requested, I added the possibility to download a 3000x4500px version (from 14000x21000px of the original file) with no big watermarks. Enjoy!

I wish he would be there, but some spiderlike hunchback pirate from a former wealthy family like the Danesty throwing daggers at the screen in another giant geared machine-like clocktower structure might be too much to ask LOL

This is absolutely fantastic. The stained glass effect fits the game's art style perfectly. The more I look, the more detail there is to see.Β

I'm very happy you like it. The details were the main reason to make this.

is there a version where the names don't interfere with the scenery?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope. I thought this as stainglass from a church, and the names are part of them as in the image (or at least the ones I liked the most). I even looked for the names of the families according to history for that. Little geek detail, I know...

Would it be possible to get a textless version (i.e., minus the character names)? Thanks!

I never got a textless version in mind... Na I do not have the original editable image now.
Would be just an minor edit.

Excellent. Just plain excellent. This is why I always check out Castlevania's fan art. If I had the money, I would buy this as a real stained glass window.

I wish I could make it that way too.

I really like the stained glass panel theme going on here. Β It totally fits in with the universe and it just plain looks great too.

Oh man, you (sort of) used Sypha's Pachislot universe design.

Indeed. I love the original Sypha's background, but I also like a lot her Pachislot design. I also needed a female design in the image, so I used it in a way as I did in the rest of the characters. Was fun to merge them all.

Sweet! I'm playing through Castlevania IV right now. Like, I just took a break from it to check my messages. Great look with the stained glass window comp.

Have it in very lowres (1080p), so little details are almost invisible.
