Melty Blood: The Night of Wallachia
Katto... Katto, katto, katto, katto, KATTO, KATTO, KATTO, KATTO, KATTO, KAAATTTTOOOO!!! EVIL Laughter!
I'm asking myself why I haven't made a fanart of this guy LONG ago... Stupid Me!
I mean, I Heart
this guy! :D (Big Grin)
Who wouldn't resist that bloody, toothy, disturbing smile. :evilgrin:
This is the Night of Wallachia (or Warachia). He's from the Tsukihime novel by Typemoon and a playable character in the Melty Blood 2D fighting game. I've downloaded this guy for MUGEN long before I got my hands on the original Melty Blood game, and man, this guy was awesome to use! :D (Big Grin)
His black tornadoes and claw swipes, his interesting cloak, that creepy insane face! He's a riot! XD
Aside from all that and his "kikikiki" laugh and "inspiring" quotes about humans, I also like his overall concept. :) (Smile)
I've read around wikis about Tsukihime, and found out that Wallachia is actually a creature that has transcended the state of ordinary existence. He's not really there, tangibly. Only after certain "conditions" are met that he materializes. Supposedly, he latches on to a community's rumors and urban legends, feeds on that energy and then finally takes the form of the rumor. Cool huh? I've never heard of a character as unique as he is. Nice, Typemoon! :D (Big Grin)
I made this look messy. Heart
Because he's an insane, homicidal creature of darkness, I wanted this to have that "demented" feel. I made the background using heavy, dry strokes of the brush and used lots of blacks and reds. :D (Big Grin)
And there's always that "insignia" of Wallachia - a bloody smiley face stamped on the moon. :D (Big Grin)
Had fun making this. :D (Big Grin)
And it satisfied my craving of doing fanart of him. :D (Big Grin)
