Alright, I've started working on a 16-bit rendition of Alucard. Since it was a little puzzling with all the inconsistent art, I came up with my own concept art. As you can see, I suck at drawing fingers.



Update: Attack poses

Is he supposed to be so stiff? His knees barely move, and nobody actually walks like that.

And his upper body shouldn't pivot side to side. It looks a little robotic.

XD well, walking and running animations are the hardest to sprite, altho, it looks like hes marching,, use your own walk as refference, or the original alucard sprites =3

His feet are pretty stiff, and his legs don't articulate properly. I'll explain in detail later "

Well the legs are a bit of a problem to animate right. If you compare it to Simon or Trevor's walking animation, the legs are supposed to be kinda stiff. I was in a bit of a hurry though, so I'll get to work on that. :/

Alright, is it noticeably less stiff?

not even close
people don't walk like that

Alright, I think I got it.

Straighten his wrists, they look a little prissy. Also hiss ankles move a little more more.

Here's your problem: his knees don't bend.

That, and his legs are also too long compared to his torso. Lower his belt.

Alrighty, added some detail, lowered the belt by 1 pixel, adjusted the ankles, made the hands/wrists bigger, and the knees much more bended.

lift his knees more and shorten the legs a little more

Alrighty, legs shortened by 2 pixels, and knees a little more bendy and detailed.
