Felt bad about poor Juste being banished to the Netflix realm, so I took him to Ikea #Castlevania

#悪魔城ドラキュラ #キャッスルヴァニア 日本のファンが知らないかもしれないと思ったから、今日本語にも伝える。つまり、Netflixのキャッスルヴァニアアニメは、小島文美さんの絵をなぞったそうだ。小島さんの名はエンドロールにない、それも、その絵はアニメのスタッフのものと言った。見てください
Most alarmingly, it seems that the shot of Richter looking over his shoulder in the Nocturne teaser is directly traced from one of Kojima's illustrations of Hector (thank you to @valmnera for the overlayed edits):
In 2007, she again returned to work on Dracula X Chronicle, a 2.5D remake of Rondo of Blood. She revamped the designs for the entire cast, and these designs are seemingly the basis for the character designs in Nocturne. However, her contribution has not been acknowledged.
Kojima's designs can also be seen in other characters, most notably Dracula, Lisa, Hector (and Isaac, who is just wearing Hector's outfit for some reason), and the portrait of Leon. Trevor's eye scar originated with Kojima's design for him in Curse of Darkness, too.
With his flowing blond hair, historically influenced clothes, and flashy gold details, Kojima's design for Alucard was a hit with fans, and has served as the basis for Alucard's design in pretty much everything since then- Including the cartoon.
One thing I think Netflix fans don't realize (understandably, since it wasn't in the show) is that Lisa actually ISN'T ~the only woman Dracula ever loved~, she's specifically said to look exactly like his first wife, Elisabetha. He was basically just playing house
Thinkin about how art for Curse of Darkness always looks exactly like this
