Malachi - Retrogasm Art Entry
My take on Malachi from Castlevania, done for Retrogasm art competition
The brief was to pick a char/creature from a retro game and uprez it to current gen while still keeping faithful to the original design of the character.
Special thanks to Eva Seyeux for the feedback and for hyping me up to push hard and finish !
