Yugo has pushed his luck in getting close, but with Bloodless's attacks he uses his cunning reflex to move on to his next move. Keen eyes sharply aimed towards the demoness while she is fighting Sunraiser in close combat with others not so far behind. Yugo's ears perch up to the newcomer at the door and his reflexes takes away his attention from the fight to face the confused mightybobbarker, taking the shot for 4 damage to his HP. Yugo's head lowers to his level with his eyes glowing in the darkness and bearing his teeth as he is growling. HP: 18 - 4 = 14 Total Damage Count: 8

Yugo's beast form has pushed his adrenaline to new heights as he was able to cut a sharp angle from his first attack, he he comes back around at a violent rate of speed leaving behind glowing after images of himself. All of his rings begins to glow brightly as they temper his claws with white hot fire. Something that has not been done before even in this form. His turn about makes his way behind her as he does a slash uppercut.

Taken back from the intense whiplash of blood swirling in the room, Yugo tumbles on the floor in a bloody mess from the attack and falls bank on one knee. Slowly he looks over his shoulder as he was given a bowl of Wall Mac. Breathing heavily he takes the bowl and wolfs it down seemingly in one gulp, "Thank you friend" Yugo said with one hand sliding the bowl on the floor away from him and the other hand wiping down his mouth. His lupine gaze is set on Bloodless while the red moonlight shines down upon her. His attention is pulled away by the full circle of the moon, Yugo's eyes widen wildly as he throws his bloody jean vest aside. He crosses his arms as his body grows through a thicket of fur tearing through his bloodstained shirt, his boots torn off revealing hind legs and under the cracking of bones and shifting transformation of both shape and stature of a were-beast. His rings grows with him and his amulet brimming with red light, his necklace adjusts to the size of his neck. Roaring with rage, Yugo lets out a howling battlecry. uBM_cfVd1-201-6 HP: 15 + 3 = 18 Damage Total: 8 1-20ยท1-6

Midnight Madness: Beat the game before the Witching Hour ends.
For those who aren't familiar with the term "Witching Hour", it's a period that lasts for 3 hours from 12 - 3 am. If the game is time sensitive that is, this could apply.

With the momentum Yugo takes a chance to release an energy of one of his rings freeze one of his fists into a swirling cold frost. With a running start he kicks up the air to spin himself into bringing his fist down into the bloody demon.
As he hovers over her in mid-air Yugo screams out "FROST SPIKE" bringing down his fist to freeze her blood on impact.

Yugo gets thrown in the air with the force of Bloodless's attack circle twirling him in a spinning motion, he retorts by swinging one leg around while he drags his hand on the floor slowing his fall back. Claws are noticeably jut out to catch the tiled floor revealing a few sparks.
Taking a bottled blue liquid from the inside pocket of his jean vest Yugo tosses a potion towards Sunraiser, "Sun, catch!", while he brushes the dust off of himself with the other hand.

I do remember reading about this cathedral in Art History class, would love the chance to see it someday. I love your story and I'm glad you, your sister, and Mr. Igarashi had a great time!
Whenever you guys give New Orleans a shot for site seeing, definitely let me know. ^_^

For a little while I was playing Divinity 2 with some friends, but I got caught up with commission work. I'm thinking about going back to my PsP and finish up my Growlanser game.

Collecting himself from the Arial attack, his wild hair flings back as he looks up to see that there are more people joining the fight against bloodless. Then finally sees two clashing umbrellas and with wide eyes he shouts out, "Lady Mana!!" Yugo makes a mad dash and does a slide kick under Bloodless for an assisted attack.

A shadow of half-man and half beast cast upon one of the windows. The figure breaks into the room shattering the glass, rolls on to his feet as Yugo joins the fray. His amulet glows and wearing an assortment of rings while he cracks his knuckles. "Time to clean that smirk off your pretty little face!" Cocks back his fist blazing with power and shoots his punch into the floor to let out a seismic, kinetic wave.

Post by yugosalkins on Oct 10, 2017 22:21:53 GMT -6
Hello everyone. I have something special for all of you and yeah, this is something very unexpected. As I was digging though my old saved files of works art that I have scanned and stored away I have recently dug out progress pictures of the Bloodstained cover art painting I did a while ago. Yes, the very same one you've seen in Update #47. I will post them all here and give a brief description for each picture. Allow me to start from the beginning.. Step 1
This started as a very rough concept. I have done the homework of looking up in how Ayami Kojima had painted her works, the media used, and the method of using them. With the little information I had scavenged in the world wide web I have continued to break down the method into steps from what I could work with in the best of my knowledge. This is actually the second picture of Miriam I have drawn that made the cutting board. Satisfied with the result that met the required look for a Kojima-style art form I continued with this drawing onward. Step 2 Here is a rough drawing of Miriam, You can see the background is still being conceptualized in which is still a working progress. I tossed around the idea of making wings behind her made of stained glass that perhaps burst from a Gothic window frame for a colorful radiant light effect, but the idea was debunked because of the difficulty of producing a visual effect in such a small composition size especially with the limited mediums that I had to work with. The time I was working on this I had very little room and most of my art supplies were kept in storage. Not a very comfortable workspace, but it is what it is and wasn't going to let it deter me from finishing a project that was in hiatus since the beginning of last year. Step 3 On this step I proceeded to do shading with regular pencil. I was very careful with the finer details and were able to keep the picture clean for my first try. It is almost like an art piece of it's own. Kojima-esque, but much more like it's own creature. I kept my pencils pointed and my technical pencils loaded just to not blur out any of the crisp detail that I had accomplished thus far. Step 4 Here is where I start to apply ink wash and detailing the lines with Micron technical pens only at where the contrast are at it's darkest. The lighting of this picture was bad, but the contrast of Miriam's image has buffed since it's pencil shading. The details were kept in clean and pristine condition. The black and white was a visage that kept it sharp, but what comes next may have proven to be another challenge difficult to overcome without losing it's finest detail.
Step 5
At this point I had followed a procedure that seemed delicate in a way that felt like constructing a machine. Like if you were to piece together a jigsaw puzzle for a completed picture or Legos to get a complete model there are certain pieces that go in a particular area. Like with this, some areas are needed to be worked in with a different medium than others. For example the blue of her dress and parts of her skin were carefully washed with watercolor. Same with the blade of the sword and the stained glass looking designs all throughout which has heavy emphasis of color in them. I later gone over the details with color pencils for the rest of her outfit and brought out more of the black while smoothing out the texture the color pencils make naturally. I switch between these mediums back and forth till I get the desired look. You can see pencil lines are still apparent in this picture.
Close Up Here is a closer view of the face and the upper torso. You can see how the colors from different traditional mediums combine together. Again, this picture isn't the best example due to it's harsh exposure to my lamp light. Step 6 Here I taped down the picture onto a board to work on the background. I had penciled out the foreground and was using Kojima's works she had made for the Castlevania series as an inpiration. The foreground is much more reminiscent of that of Symphony of the Night, Lament of Innocence, and partially from Chronicles. This was all done in acrylic, but was able to go over some parts with color pencil to better bring out the highlights. I wanted to mix together a medium that will give me that heavy brushstroke texturing I would find so often in Kojima's works by using some form of paste I can mix with the paint, but I failed to prepare the medium beforehand. However I did notice something as I had continued onward with the painting, oddly enough those brushtrokes I loved so much started to appear very gradually. I let parts of the part dry a little more so the brush won't take away the texture. There wasn't much of it, but the brushstrokes was naturally there and preparing the medium in the end ultimately wasn't necessary. On the right side you can see some of the blue as I was trying out which medium works best in where. Step 7 I began to work in the background around this point. I was really upset that Miriam gotten dirty from some of the smudging while I was working on the background because I had worked so hard on her and made every effort to keep her clean. None the less, I convinced myself to push onward with the background as I would later go over cleaning up Miriam once I am close to finish. The feeling of defeat for not being able to keep my art clean has made me felt like I was back at square one, but it was really only the background that needed to be finished. Needless to say, that too, took many steps to complete. I first started looking up various references that I can print out and trace on tracing paper on both sides. I avoided the areas that were colored of course, traced the image onto the canvas and then penciled in the tracing. I've added some parts that will resemble a wall that also include an arch that hopefully lined up with the composition. The next step followed shortly after. Step 8 With this step I've shaded some parts here and there and did a light wash with watercolor to solidify the walls and the window frame. Oddly enough, this gives the illusion that the structure Miriam is inside of is well lit by the light of the daylight sun. I was rather impressed with the way it came out and as much as I wanted to leave it I felt like it didn't quite suit the theme that I was going for, but perhaps that I will revisit this in another painting I thought. I was done some wonderful watercolor pieces in the past, but it's been too long to actually come back with what I've learned when I'm very out of practice. The right corner of the background was a blue bled intended to capture the mood that later became a marker for my final step. Final Step Finally this was my final step in completing this painting. All of the mediums that were used previously where on the table as this too became another step by step procedure. I first gone over the penciling with ink, but didn't merely trace the lines. I also cross-hatched to build up contrast just visible enough so that I could still see after filling in with the watercolor. I kept water nearby so that to balance out the amount of watercoloring. The red was dominant because it stood out more from the foreground than the blue did, but the blue set the mood just right. right where the blue and red meet I decided to do something different. I used a red ink pen to create those rippling streaks to hopefully resemble blood in some way while at the same time pulling in some blue which at this point started to turn the blue into a purplish color. This effect was never tempted before, so with this painting alone I have created a new effect in watercoloring. The darker parts where gone over with color pencil, the texturing were kept as I thought for a stone structure it was very fitting. The streaks of light were created with white strokes of acrylic, the softness of the light was done with color pencil which was also smoothed out. I was careful not to overuse the white because I wanted the window frame to still reveal it's structure around the light that pours into the composition. So with this I finally cleaned up Miriam to the best of my ability and had finally scanned for upload. I was able to clean it up a little further with Photoshop to make it more visually presentable as a digital image. So in case Ms Igarashi, Ms Kojima, or any Bloodstained fan would wish to print this for a poster or whatever they're welcome to do so.
With all that said and done, this was in fact made with the intent of being a cover art. Why a cover art you say? Because what truly convinced me to purchase a game that Igarashi made was because of Kojima's works of art. She was the face of the market for whichever Castlevania title Igarashi had a hand in and by doing this I honor both him and Kojima. I visualize this piece as a cover to the cover of Bloodstained as clear as blood in water. So with that in mind, this will be used for a cover art for a mini fan-comic in which I will take it upon myself to create 3 pages of utter perfection. Training hard I will be to make sure it is the best 3 page comic that anyone will ever read.
As for the original painting, it is kept safely in a folder for the change to one day finally meet it's master. It has to be me to finally give him this painting in person. Ultimately with the hiatus and all it took roughly about a year to complete. I have nurtured, cleaned, restore, worked in this painting for so long it would be a disgrace that such a painting will be left with those who will pass it down with a chance of it being lost forever. Maybe one day I will have a chance to give him this painting myself, if at all just for that.
So for the next post, well, you know. More art coming soon.

Here is a concept I have been fooling around. Initially I have had a different design in mind and was going to have him dress somewhat lordly, but during the development of this character it had undergo many changes due to experimentation borrowing from a number of references. Quite different what I originally had in mind, but I also wanted to keep true to the style that's relevant to this sort of genre. I like the roughness of his outfit which, again, wasn't intentional. However he definitely looks like he is ready for battle! I will be drawing a profile picture of his face for a better look as well, but more importantly I will also include him in a cover art style in pencil to see if I can exercise this form of characterization. If I am to make a comic this way I will have to stretch my comic rendering muscles. I also have another character in mind I would like to try drawing, but I will work on these first and will put up other pictures which I also intend on revealing. More to come soon.

I would actually be all for that idea for the context of Bloodstained. It's very fitting, perhaps it can be used as an add-on for the backers. I know I totally will take it.
