Castlevania: Alucard [Speedpaint]

I wanted to draw Alucard for a very long time, but only now I felt like I am actually good enough and able to do him justice. Turned out pretty damn nice if you ask me, tho the "process" was not straightforward at all xd.

Original idea for shading/lighting didn't work and I had to really change things up at around minute 20. Since then I was really looking up to Ruan Jia and other asian artists in terms of how they work with hue and color variety in the skin and the whole work in general, I think this is one thing that I did pretty nicely here.

Also I was trying out 2 completely new tablets while working on this one, always trying and changing things up, so all of that led to the fact that I spent whole 18 hours on this work, which is obviously way too much

So yeah, sorry about 40 minute long video, no one will probably watch it, but it would look way too fast if I made it shorter (it is still too fast but kinda managable)

Real time: about 18h
Program: Photoshop
Tablet: mostly Huion Kamvas 16 (2021), and a little bit of XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus
