London 2100 teaser art!

Redrew a 1999 YKO cover. I miss them ngl

So @lesmismignon wrote a delightfully quirky Hellsing-in-One Piece-universe oneshot that I thought would be really fun to draw (I was right).

Some fun facts gleaned from these early prototype character profiles by Hirano, from a 1997 issue of Young King OURS:

Integra’s supposed Indian heritage is not merely a write-in by Studio Gonzo, as her character description here mentions her skin tone as being “that of an Indian”

The way her full title is spelled (インテグラル and not インテグラ) suggests that Integral is her full name and Integra is more of a nickname

In addition to Hellsing Director, her other titles include “magician, religious scholar, and vampire hunter, dubbed by some as the reincarnation of Mrs. Blavatsky”

Alucard’s name, thought to be inspired by the Castlevania franchise, actually originates from a choose-your-own-adventure novel by Irish author J. H. Brennan (the same fake name Alucard uses at Rio).

Alucard’s shades may be inspired by the titular characters of the manga Eat-Man and the film Léon.

She's devastated :(

No. 1: I’ve been scouting through the source blog and discovered that it is MIGHTILY k1nky in more than a few respects.

To avoid obvious uncomfortableness, Culpepper will not be like this, especially not with Keye (who’s basically his child).

Is he still shirtless 99% of the time? Yeah.

Does he think he’s hot? Oh, absolutely!

But it’s not something that ever becomes p•rnograp#ic. Just to clarify.

No. 2: @the-nagakenny-archives doesn’t know I’m doing this.

They have me blocked, they can’t see it.

I don’t want anyone telling them.

This is an adaptation.

Not fanfiction, I…don’t think I’m comfortable calling it that now.

Just an adaptation.

No. 3: TO THE ACTUALLY FUN STUFF THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME FEEL KINDA GROSS! Keye has a coworker at their pet store (it’s a PetSmart; I just wanted to clarify that). Said coworker is inspired off of a friend I made at camp, who did give me permission to basically use their likeness.

The character who is Keye’s friend is named Cotton. (Sorta like “cottonmouth”, get it?) Cotton is a normal human, but they’re intuitive enough to notice that Keye’s not totally normal…though, it still comes as a shock to them to realize that their friend is both a supernatural creature and a vigilante.

Cotton’s fun, twitchy, weird…cinnamon roll, all around.

They kind of annoy Culpepper by sheer virtue, so I guess we’ll see how that goes! :D

No. 4: Last one, every good adaptation needs a theme song, so here’s ours for this crazy serpentine saga! (Because swaying and moving just works so well for the coils, y’know?)

Michael Bublé - Sway

you were quite correct about the time stuff! but let me see what we've got

- okay, maybe that's why the blog isn't cool with minors hanging around

- i'm still cool with not telling 'em! again, you haven't planned to insult the origin blog, harass anyone or steal their ideas - you're just using it for inspiration, and that's a-okay in my eyes

- ah, the ol' coworker that just so happens to accidentally, near-perfectly represent myself. even down to the fact that they use my other preferred name. i'm still cool with it, so don't fret over that!
