#a rare depiction of his inhumanity taking precedence over his beauty

[akumahoshojo]

eternally fascinated by the concept of Alucard having claws beneath his gloves

(and it’s official art too! check out the full image here!!!) 

#castlevania #alucard #dawn of sorrow #julius mode #castlevania alucard #thie more i look at it the more i realize this might actually be my favorite official art of alucard #a rare depiction of his inhumanity taking precedence over his beauty #the monstrous side that's usually hidden #and also those wings fucking hell #the whole piece is so weird and beautiful it looks like some old manga cover #dawn of sorrow has some really offbeat official art in a ton of different art styles and it's a shame those images seem relatively obscure #i don't usually talk this much in the tags but damn. this picture. THIS is the quintessential alucard to me #it's perfect. i love it. #just. #damn.
