A small piece I did some time ago for Pixelation's Comercial Critique Challenge

 
The challenge consisted on redrawing a screenshot from the first Castlevania game in your own style, but also following the same technical limitations the original game for the FAMICOM/NES had.
 
I decided to go for a somewhat more realistic look, using dark colors to get a serious and scary mood.

This is great. Well rendered, and animating just the flames was a subtle, intelligent way give the scene a lot of life. Everything else gets nicely coated in an eerie stillness. I both love and hate that it is so faithful to the original as to still have the heart icon touching the letter P.

Fantastic. Bold choice leaving half the character's body in absolute shadow
