#i have a secret fondness for the demented carmen sandiego look that the old hellsing had #heavy gothic blacks and angular-bordering-on-grotesque suited it
still stand by those tags in a nutshell.
I also … very much appreciate how Alucard looks - not made deliberately ugly, but he’s not classically-anime-bishie beautiful, there. He has actual lines, he looks old in a fair few angles, his face is chiseled and hacked away like a crude stone to the point where it’s invoking the uncanny valley. I actually try to channel that version in my artworks more than anything, and think it’s telling that the one overwhelming compliment is that I’ve nailed how he’s supposed to come across.
