Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse. Custom series.
 

I finally finished up my custom line of Cv3 action figures. I tried to make them all in the style of the NECA Player Select Castlevania line. I decided to go with the 3 main characters, minus Alucard given that he already has an official figure. And 2 bosses, I went for 2 visually interesting characters, Medusa and Leviathan. I have posted Trevor and Medusa here before, but I have updated them since then.

I'll start with Trevor Belmont, because he is the star of the game. I started with the image of Trevor from the american Cv3 box art, seen here.

I wanted to stick very close to that look but decided to change out the leather whip for the chain morning star. I also added in all the sub weapons and other minor accessories that made sense. Hope you guys like it.

Next up is Grant DaNasty, because he was always my favorite of the 3 possible team mates. I started here with this piece of artwork, which was also used for Grant's SoTN appearance.

From there I adapted the concept to an aesthetic more in line with a 15th century resistance militia. Switching out the slippers for boots, and the bracelets for forearm guards. I gave him two gnarly daggers, a slew of throwing knives, and some rope to help him climb around

Grant also likes axes.

With Sypha I didn't start with any specific art work or sprite. I just went with the overall basic design of the character, adapting it to the aesthetic of the other figures and what I had available to work with. I also wanted to make her a little bit androgynous, given the way she hides her true gender in the game. I wanted to give represent all of her abilities but I couldn't find a good ice accessory.

Next up is Medusa. I went with a more savage look than what is customary in the series. But I did stick to the "Clash of the Titans" type half snake woman. This is one I may one day update more to make it more specific to her depiction in Dracula's curse.

Finally Leviathan. This is the biggest custom figure I have ever made. If this was an official line, he would have to be a build-a-figure. I was pretty happy with how he came out. I tried to make him as true to the original sprite as I could.
