Plus again, most of this archive has been in Japan. Away from the outside. So you find something cool to inpirr you or make a meme!

While my Darkstalkers hype has tempered, I still think a lot coulf be done for this archive. So many of the stories are still untranslated and I know some of the stories I got translations for I feel need to be re-localized considering my current mind set.

I know Halloween has passed, but give this a look. The both of us put a lot of effort into this. Perhaps the art could inspire you! Or maybe you wanna take a crack at translation? Or.... just want to see hidden media!

Even if Halloween has passed, the spirit of festivities lives all of the years, for aeons.

Happy Darkstalkers Halloween

I adore the eerie feel you gave with both the cool night color vibe and the way you did her face. Always a sucker for shadows obscuring the face, only showing a glowing eye!
Fantastic! 🥹🩵🩵🩵

It's now tradition that every October I draw Hsien-Ko, this one is a reference to one of her win animations

Still extremely proud of this art. :3

Depicted are two beings, both sharing the traits of being vampires and of Asian descent. For Tori, specifically she is an Indian Hungarian Vampire. Eurasian Vampire. Donovan meanwhile is a dhampir, born in the countryside of Myanmar. Due to his father being from Makai, that would mean Donovan is of Myanma and Makaiin blood. In this picture, both Tori and Donovan are having a friendly chat, with Donovan having a hot cup of tea as a refreshment. It seems that Tori's flock of javas have taken an interest in him, from perching around his body, to even one tucked under his upper garment.

Learning of Tori's foray into learning spell crafting, Mei-Ling takes it upon herself to teach Tori the ways of magic artes from another reality, that she herself learned from another reality. Reality inception. To start out, she teaches her the ways of manipulating spiritual energy, specifically that which is within one's soul. Aura magic. To begin, Mei-Ling teaches Tori a Neophyte tier arte, Aura Wisp, via a demonstration. While capable of using it, Tori's Aura Wisp is significantly smaller and has required an immense amount of concentration. So much, it actually is causing her to become incredibly nervous as she floats with an intense nervous expression. Mei-Ling is staying seated, examining Tori's progress and trying to patiently figure out a way to aid her pupil.

More Incredible commissions done by my close friend @kachirisu.bsky.social ! More love for her OC, Tori, as she gets to interact with more Asian vampires. :D

A European Tea party is being had between 3 women of supernatural aspects. The host, Tori Lugosi Tepes, is adding some fruit into a tea cup for her guest. The guest is a jaingshi by the name of Hsien-Ko Shào. Her big sister, Mei-Ling Shào, is in her talisman form and currently admiring Tori's pet java, Johnny.

An incredible gift commission from my dear friend @kachirisu.bsky.social!
Tori surprised me with this cozy and wondrous idea she had in the back of her mind. I love this so much! 🥹🔶️

A reference sheet that shows of details of a Manchu/Han woman by the name of Shào Hsien-Ko. A profile, front, and back render show off the details of her full attire. Even some fun notes.

A ref sheet that explains about the clothing that Hsien-Ko wears under her qipao. Quite cozy.

The undergarments that Hsien-Ko wears. Designed to me be more culturally tasteful as it is based on the dudou. Also, a chance to so a lot of Hsien-Ko's body under all those clothes. A stocky, strong woman honed by centuries of experience, training, and combat.

A ref sheet detailing a Burst for Hsien-Ko known as Fǔbài de Yōngbào, or roughly Corrupt Embrace. A much stronger, feral warrior who is empowered by the mutated Corriyami that has become a part of her. Despite the name, Hsien-Ko is still in full control. In fact, she has never felt stronger!

Since it is the 31st anniversary of #Darkstalkers and I have no new art, I'll share this set I had in storage.
A brand-new ref sheet of my design of Shào Hsien-Ko in Cryas Darkstalkers. Her base form and her Fǔbài de Yōngbào/ Corrupt Embrace. 🔷

A pale, voluptuous, and beautiful vampire sticks out her tongue in a playful manner as she poses. She places her hands and fingers in such a way to draw attention to her her face. Sitting upon her head is a small Java sparrow by the name of Johnny. In his beak, Johnny holds a bean sprout enchanted with magic. In fact, he is using magic to present by signature chop to mark the art as being made by me. :)

Photogenic Tori Lugosi Tepes.
Fanart I made of my dear friend, @kachirisu.bsky.social, Tori's OC. Used a ref photo Tori herself took to craft this art and am very proud of the result! 🔷️

Okay, Halloween just came and went way too fast. Anyhow, happy Halloween everyone. Be safe and eat candy!
