Shanoa Katswell-Vania

ANOTHER entry into 's Halloween Jam.
I drew Carmelita fox as Lara Croft earlier:

Now it's time to take another feisty female anthro character and put her into an outfit to do cool stuff.
I chose Kitty Katswell from T.U.F.F. Puppy as my next subject.
And I dressed her up as Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

A lot of my followers are not big Castlevania fans or played a lot of the games. (Most only know it through either Symphony of the Night or The Angry Video Game Nerd.'
I have been a huge fan for years..well...since 1998 when I first played SOTN. (Then bought old school NES to play the original trilogy.)

The series itself greatly influenced my taste in game art and game music.
Order of Ecclesia is no exception to this. As one of the finest of the Metroidvania titles to be released for the DS; it's one of the few CANON Castlevanias to feature a woman in the leading role.

Like all Metroidvanias; it attempts to make the character customizable through a unique system. The glyph systems is what gave shanoa her wweapons and abilities.
Here; Kitty demonstrates this by producing sword and growing wings out of her back. (Though in the game; I don't believe both can be done simultaneously.)
Nevertheless for this piece; I did both to make it look cool and give Kitty a dark aura to her as she leaps in front of the moon wielding her sword and flying with those 'Ebony Wings.'
Speaking of Ebony Wings; I was playing this the whole time drawing and coloring it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUJucj…
Shows you how influential Castlevania music truly can be.

So here's my second entry for the Halloween Art Jam.
That makes it three females I love I have done for this and a previous jam; and each dressed as a character from a video game. (Last year I did Minerva dressed as Samus Aran:
One day I gotta draw all three of these ladies in their respective outfits I gave them.


Kitty Katswell belongs to Nickelodeon
