Description This surprisingly only took me few hours, I must be getting better at this...

Anyway, I IMMEDIATELY WANT TO CREDIT THIS DRAWING AS A MAJOR REFERENCE/INSPIRATION
[link]
This was one of the first drawing's I've seen from solid and etc, and I've adored her sense. No one does fan art like she does. I know that I can't, so the point wasn't to make the drawing look exactly the same, but I took some huge pointers from it. I hope to one day be as good as she is, though, I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't get Alucard's skin tone as smooth yet dynamic as she could...

Comments and constructive criticism always appreciated!

This kicks so much ass 8D

but then again Alucard always kicks ass

ahh anyway nice work .. I've been intending to draw Alucard for ages but I always end up drawing Girlycard and Walter instead ;__; One day I'll get motivated enough and draw him OuO

:,DDD THANKS SO MUCH!

I've been intending to draw something other than Alucard for ages but somehow... well, I always just end up drawing him. >.< If only we could switch places, I still haven't gotten the hang of girlycard and walter yet. ^^ Are you excited, then, for the Dawn release with OVa 8?

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-07-28 11:41:55 +0000 UTC]

No problem at all

I know that feeling all too well I'd be intending to make artwork of other anime or even other hellsing characters and I'd start on it and then SOMEHOW miraculously it ends up being a Young Walter / YWxGC drawing I just dunno how that works really LOLOL

you know I was actually surprised by that part of the comment I mean I knew that they were finally releasing OVA 8 and then I saw that bit about The dawn and I was thinking .. "What in the world is she talking about??!! O_O;;" then I saw a Journal entry right above mentioning the same thing and it had a link and well .. I died and went to paradise so to speak

but yes I am SOOOOO excited (if you couldn't already tell LOL)

OHmgosh totallyyyyy. I'll have a drawing for azumanga daioh all planned out or something and BAM ALUCARD. HE DOESN'T EVEN BELONG. AT ALL.

*shameless plugged* this thread tends to get updated with Hellsing news more than any of the journals here, if you're interested... [link]

I'M SO EXCITED. BUT I LIKE. GAH. I TOLD MYSELF THAT I'D ONLY WATCH OVAS 5 ON WHEN THE ENGLISH DUBS WERE RELEASED SO I COULD EXPERIENCE THEM IN THEIR FULLY GLORY. GAAAAH I WANT TO WATCH SOOOO BAADDDLY.

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-07-28 16:13:28 +0000 UTC]

HAHAHAH OMG how can u turn an Azumanga Daioh Drawing into Alucard?? Thats an amazing skill right there X'D .... but yea planning drawings never works for me either I just always end up with something completely different anyway >_<

Wow this is actually very informative. Although I don't even use my Gaia account anymore and I don't plan on using it any time soon.. any idea how I can Follow this without actually using the site?

Its such a waste that you're watching it in English only .. I love both the sub and dub versions both work really well for me (or maybe im just a greedy bastard LOL)

but yea I know how you feel .. it was HELL waiting for news about OVA 8 .. a lot of people gave up too :/

Elmihy In reply to Menidyen [2011-07-28 21:32:32 +0000 UTC]

ONE WORD. SAKAKI = BADASS = ALUCARD
I usually just come up with an idea of the sort of drawing I want to draw, a pose or a coloring style, and then run with it. Lately I have a general picture in my mind's eye, which I'm finally able to somewhat achieve, but there's always an x factor...

Huh I don't know... maybe I should start updating my journal with a link to this thread every time I get some tasty Hellsing infoz... Although you don't use your gaia anymore, I could try featuring your artwork in the "gallery" portion of the tread if you wanted...

I've watched OVAs I-IV in dubs and subs, and I agree! Both casts are amazing (although Joji Nakata is good, though, I don't necesarilly like his Alucard as much...). I just prefer the english dub and want the first experience to be as good as possible. ^^

Yeah, it's really disappointing. I also heard that the OVA franchise wasn't doing too well in America, although IDK how true that is... might have something to do with those DUB DELAYS.

heh I wish that would work for me I always get an idea then I just scrap it and start over with something else >_<

that would be helpful O 3O
you don't have to really I dont want to cause you any trouble!

Really? >3< I like Alucard in the subs though~ I get what you mean about having the best experiance for the first time but I honestly wouldn't kill myself over a few episodes (not when it comes to hellsing NO Fuu >:U)

lol Its funny how they dont assume that the release delays have anything to do with it

Elmihy In reply to Menidyen [2011-07-31 18:15:18 +0000 UTC]

That's true... I can come up with drawing ideas which work about... 50 percent of the time lol. But I'm not really a drawer artist, drawing's just something I do, I'm definitely more of a writing artist, but in that case I can never come up with an idea that sticks. I just keep scrapping ideas...

DONE.
No, it really wouldn't, I could just link to your dA. You can give me links to a few of your favorite hellsing fanworks by you and I'll put them in the gallery... might as well fill up that section. ^^

Yeah, the sub voices tend to be deeper, I've noticed, which befits a lot of characters, but I prefer a little nasalness (not like, whining, but a higher pitch) most of the time...
Yeah, I'm probably just being ridiculous... but this is the choice i've made so I'm just sticking to it. >.<

they're just like "WHAT'S GOING ON GUYS??? WHY AREN'T WE MAKING SALES??"

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-07-31 23:05:10 +0000 UTC]

well scrapping an idea is easy, Sticking to an idea is super tough though >_<

.. I don't really have any particular favorites .. except that grab my meme that one still gives me stitches everytime I see it .. you can pick whatever you see fit I guess :'3

lol I'm not really picky about how the voice itself sounds I tend to be more picky about how the voice goes well with the character or not .. I mean when i watched the Dawn Episode I was thinking .. Ahhh Walter sounds SO .. feminine (I think it was the same voice actor for Ciel from Kuroshitsuji) .. it worked on Ciel but I'm still getting used to it on Walter .. I really expected him to at least sound like a guy X'DDDD


Good for you. don't let anything break your will ever!! no matter how ridiculous you might feel n__n once you give urself a word you have to keep it! once your used to that there wont be an obstacle in your life that u wont be able to cross (look at me Im all philosophical n shit//shot)

LOL it's Japan's fault though if they'd make their releases a bit faster they'd make everyone happy no exceptions.

Elmihy In reply to Menidyen [2011-08-02 02:45:03 +0000 UTC]

Exactly...

I'll cehck it out, then. ^^

That's very true, a "sexy" voice on its own doesn't do much for me. It's just that deep voices tend to be more... generic to me... nasalness gives a little more personality/depth (ironically) to cahracters for me since it adds texture and more differences. Haha, having the VA for Ciel do Young Walter sounds like such a good idea in theory... I won't be seeing dawn for a bit, though, so we'll see. It'll be interesting to see how they do it in the dub....
:.D Can i carry you around in my pocket and have you yell inspiring speeches at me while I'm taking tests? lol

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-08-02 11:55:31 +0000 UTC]

variety is always good :'3

ahh when I heard Walter's voice I thought my head was gonna blow up.. I was sooooo terribley disappointed you have no idea TT___TT .. I mean dont get me wrong I loved how Ciel sounded like but I dunno it FIT him.. Walter on the other hand .. ahh I dunno I mean Ciel is a mushy character imo he acts tough but he's really weak either way.. Walter on the other hand ... well that goes without explanations Ahh I really wanted him to have a manlier voice for some reason but not necessarily as deep as Alucard's (lol that would be freaky)

I totally wanna see the Dawn Dubbed (first time I actually look forward to a dub XD) .. I'm almost certain he'd have a more fitting Voice X'D

hahahahhaa that really depends on the size of the pocket

Elmihy In reply to Menidyen [2011-08-03 19:55:35 +0000 UTC]

DDDD,: Yeah, when a guy's voice gets too girly in an anime I'm like... wai. Like, I get it, they look like girls, but that's more for lulz and isn't that appealing when taken to that extent. Anyway, he doesn't act girly at all, frankly he acts more manly than girlycard in dawn. ^^

Yeah, I'm excited to hear their voices. ^^

THAT'S.

REALLY CREEPY.

joji nakata whyyyyy

I'm pretty sure that won't happen for the english dub. Someone asked the director if they were going to have Crispin do girlycard and he was like "*snort* no." the and again, I have what girlycard's voice should sound like... girlycard didn't seem that girly to me in the manga for some reason and somehow i'm not that weirded out by the trailer? it makes sense to me? but I think I'm weird...

(ALSO WHAT NO GIRLYCARD IN DAWN? WHAT HAPPENED)

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-08-06 20:20:43 +0000 UTC]

there's no telling .. they might be doing this just to troll the fans

Girlycard isnt THAT girly .. its just a way to identify her from the actual alucard (I just like to make her feminine thats a different story lol)

that trailer was weird .. the guy that kept got killed was annoying LOL

Also Girlycard didn't make an appearance in the dawn cuz the episode is like a 9 minute feature so far they didn't reach a part where Girly makes an appearance

ahahahha but I've also heard many fans that are on the other side of the debate, I think I'm fine with both voices after thinking about it...

Haha I think a lot of fans do. ^^ And yeah, that guy, I'm sure it makes a lot more sense in japanese, but there have been similar trailers released before... it's sort of in the Hellsing style of humor, I guess lol.

Aaaah I see....

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-08-07 13:09:47 +0000 UTC]

Yea thats the thing! a lot of fans actually LIKE girlycard with a male voice .. I really dont know why but who am I to judge

lol hellsing humor has always been poor X'D

Yep, its all part of the plan.. they dont want to reveal girly's voice just yet

I sort of like it, I think it gives him the "otherwordly powerful" feeling of Alucard, so... >3>

Menidyen In reply to Elmihy [2011-08-10 09:14:05 +0000 UTC]

I guess the worst part for me was just the first shock Girlycard for me has always been a feminine figure so its hard for me to accept that she has Alucard's extremely male voice (yum ) but yea you get what I mean

Hellsing's humor is .. original that I can agree on .. it doesn't follow your generic type of anime humor and thats what I like about it I guess

quirky is good

I know, I never understand how people draw skin so smooth!! Like leejun not sure of what her full username is! But anyway it looks really cool and it definitely doesn't just look like a lame copy... also I actually like your bg a bit better than hers. *hides* The other thing I really like about this is his jacket, that's my fave part c:

p.s. mayhap you meant to say that you've "adored her since"? maybe...

leejun? Now I'm just thinking of my friend lejia and she can't draw...
D'aaaw thaaaanks. My background's heavily based off of hers, of course... so I'm pretty surprised. I like the colors I used more, but hers had more of that... texture.
that's pretty interesting... it was defs the easiest and a fun part to draw... I really want to learn how to draw sexy slim suits properly. It's such a drawing staple, but I just realized I never got around to it.

Yes it's true your bg was less smooth but I liked it better that way... not sure why c:
Yeah I don't think I ever learned that either D': They're so crisp and idk. I guess we should both delve into SLIM SUIT DRAWING LEARNING!! w00t

It's ok I write typos all the time in my u.s. history notes D': I thought I was good at typing!!! did I tell you how I keep writing "electron" instead of "election" and "derp" instead of "dept"? -_-

HEY YEAH I DID. I HAVEN'T CHECKED HER OUT IN FOREVER

Yeah, I did like the texture/3-d ness of my background, so you do have a point tehre. ^^
I KNOW AUUUUUGH. I FOUND A GREAT SLIM SUIT PICTURE BUT WHEN I TRED TO DRAW IT IT JUST TURNED OUT SUPER BULKY I DON'T UNDERSTAND. MAYBE I'VE BEEN DRAWING ALUCARD'S CAOT FOR TOO LONG.

ahahahah looooool. I like... I write words that aren't even spelled remotely similarly but just sound the same. Like my typoes don't even make sense... I did a really bad one this morning but don't remember it (for example, I just wrote "doesn't" instead of don't and like... didn't notice it at all. like, where does my mind go when I'm typing (just wrote "mine" instead of mind and "where" instead of "when... actually really bothering me...)

INAPPROPRIATELY REMINISCENT OF ALUCARD.
suits have to be tailored to be sexy, but the thing with suits is that if they're TOOO slim they can look hipster, they have to be slim enough to be either dapper or just a tad rockstar-y. I LIKE HAD A NOSEBLEED BECAUSE DANNY WANTED TO GET THE MEN OF THE SCI OLY TEAM ALL TO WEAR NAVY BLUE SKINNY TIES AND I WAS LIKE :,D. BUT THEN DANNY WORE HIS AND I COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
