Description †† FUlL VIEW, NO? ††


Done for the Hellsing Halloween contest in LJ.
I wanted to depict Alucard as an experiment, since the Hellsings were the ones who perfected him.



Pencil sketch, Photoshop, Wacom. 2 hrs. No ref.

I like the monochromatic color scheme. Not red, as you would expect, either.

OOh, amazingly done! I see the Alucard in this. I really didn't recognize it until you mentioned it, then I went, "OH!" XD
I love Hellsing, it is made of 23 kinds of awesome. That contest sounds FUN.

Thanks! Yeah, he's unrecognizable here, just my imagination running wild again.

Beautiful, even though his face isn't shown, he lools sad, like everything was taken from him.

I wonder what kinds of things were done on him, specifically, not just that he was enhanced, but I mean how do you tamper with a vampire? drugs? And I wonder how he felt during the process, though now in the manga\anime he seems satified with the results.

Yeah, I was pretty curious when Integral mentioned the Hellsing family perfecting him, and my mind pretty much wandered to all the grotesque methods of torture(scientific or otherwise).

Beautiful, eerie and scary, maybe even melancholic and sad... I think I've never seen this kind of image of Alucard before. Somehow this makes me think of an anime-series called "Speed Grapher" (And of course H.R. Giger's art...) Ever heard about the anime?

You've efficiently described the mood of the picture I wanted to portray, almost owrd for word. Thank you! That vampire's had a trying life (and unlife), poor thing.

Nope, never heard of Speed Grapher(is it nice?), though I do recognize and coo in awe at HR Giger.

Beautiful and eerie...made me think more of Sephiroth than Alucard when I saw it, although I've only read and seen scraps of Hellsing, really. I love the atmosphere on this. And it makes me pity Alucard.

Thanks! I scanned my sketch and coloured everything using the brushes provided in PS. Left the pencil lines in for messy look.
