I had the pleasure of doing Alucard's new design for Castlevania: Nocturne, with Katie Silva handling the cleans and final model sheet.

While in the original series I leaned towards the pale blonde colorization in his original concept art to invoke his mother, for Nocturne it felt apt to lean towards the more ethereal look of Ayami Kojima's paintings, for various reasons.
