The Castlevania Thread

[Arasoi]

I rephotoed my entire item collection today after work.

It was a major pain in the ass, but I'm pretty pleased with the results:

All high res and big pictures,the poster images are cobbled together from other older photos, the next big thing Im doing is scanning every poster I have in at super high res at work in the wide format scanner, so prints can be made of rare/expensive posters for those who enjoy playing more than collecting.

This will probably also flood Ebay with fake posters, but oh well.

Anyone else notice that the box and cartridge label for the US release of Castlevania 2, Simon's whip makes the shape of the number 2?

Is it a coinceidence?

[Arasoi]

Coincidence it may be, but I have never noticed that before.. very interesting indeed.

Here are things I scanned in recently:

Oh, did I mention dial up users beware? =)

Enjoy!

What is that Supervision cart? A pirate perhaps?

[Arasoi]

It is a pirate, but an interesting one IMO. It came in a box, which seems to be rare for pirates in general.

Gagagagaga. Arasoi I still love your poster collection.

I don't have any moneys to buy anything and it makes me a saaaaaaad panda. School work is killing me and so are the bills so Arasoi you're going to have to wait while I finish my oil painting to get the rest of the materials ordered for the sculpture.

WHY, oh why can't I find plumber's epoxy putty anywhere. It would be neccessary for the armature. I figure it's only available outside of Finland god dammit.

Oh, I'm back from my little hiatustustus. Exam week is over yay.

[Arasoi]

No worries, just let me know when you're ready and we'll start on it again.

[LuxKiller65]

Quick, let's post some useless messages here to get to the next page, so I don't have to wait three minutes everytime I want to check this topic at the last page!

[HYB]

I like pie.

It's good to have understanding commissioners hawhaw. Anyone know where I could find the plumber's epoxy putty? I figure Amazon would have it but I don't really like their shipping prices so much.

[Arasoi]

Looks like Simon Belmont is in New International Track and Field for DS... and he's 38? Damn!

Nice!

I always liked the red haired Simon. I feel like I'm a minority in that.

I hate the feather boa though. What the hell was Kojima thinking.

Any ideas for a scarification piece btw? I've been looking through nice easy to cut CV sprites and things but I've not found anything so far. There's not so many sprites around these days.

This is one place I know of. It doesnt have the heart refresh graphic, but Serio might rip it for you if you tell him you want to tattoo it.

[HYB]

Thanks Arasoi . I appriciate it.

I figure I'm going to go for the CV tattoos later I think, since I have a lot to pay for when I turn 18 and I doubt anyone would be willing to donate money XD (all my commission money goes to the fund btw). I hope I can find something interesting to make a scarification out of. If not oh well I can go for the cherries skin removal.

Oh, and I already got the heart refresh sprite. It's pretty easy to find and I've already saved it to my comp so I don't have to find it later.

This piece of crap is being passed off as a CV game. Lame..

Also, heads up collectors:

Not a common game, and it's in good condition as far as these go.
