This project is awesome! I showed this to my friend, who's two favorite games of all time are Super Castlevania 4 and Castlevania 3, and he pretty much did a backflip right then and there. If I may give some feedback regarding color theory...
You've chosen to use quite dark backgrounds. This is understandable considering that the Castlevania games have a gothic horror setting, but I feel you might've gone a little overboard and it causes the backgrounds to sort of blend together. Using brighter colors to offset the dark ones would lead to sharper looking backgrounds that pop out more. Another issue is Alucard. Because of the dark backgrounds combined with the retro CV3 makeover you've given him, he very easily gets lost amidst the dark colors of the background. Again, using brighter colors would definitely make him pop out more. Because Trevor's color scheme is rather bright, he doesn't have this issue, but Alucard's mostly black look is just difficult to keep track of.
I'd strongly recommend at least modifying Alucard's colors so that he's more visible, and to try to keep color theory and the way various color elements will look combined with each other, and not simply how cool they may look in a vacuum.
