“Castlevania Ghost” by podkaynestudios. This painting of a classic Castlevania sprite has an awesome color scheme and highlights a less commonly fan-arted creature.

I think it also has kind of an abstract appearance. Even more so if you’re not totally familiar with vintage Castlevania! It’s the combination of the somewhat out-of-context image and the fact that seriously, what the hell is the Ghost in Castlevania supposed to be? It’s like a flaming, elongated skull or something? Kind of looks like those disgusting owl pellets we dissected in school.
