Designing my own DARKSTALKERS character!

With the new Capcom Fighting Collection on the way, I’ve been revisiting the stylized and vibrant pixel art of the Darkstalkers series, and I thought I’d challenge myself to create my own original character design within this style and world. Follow along as I share my design ideas and workflow, then we can see how well I did by a comparison with the rest of the Darkstalkers cast!

Since I mentioned it, here's a link to the Capcom Fighting Collection in case you're curious: https://www.capcom-games.com/cfc/en-us/
...not sponsored btw (...if only; that'd be rad!)
