Description It's been a while since I did a Darkstalker piece... but I'm back baby!

The zombie rocker from Darkstalkers. You know the weird thing is? He never looked like a rocker, unless he was in his "human form". Which I found weird, when he was in his official "zombie" form, all he was was a skeleton with purple skin and torn pants. And what the hell was that blob thing that was always with him?

Anyways, decided to rip off his head... cuz all zombies need a missing body part. I understand that most zombies need that "spark" in his brain to stay undead. But I wanted to make him alittle more original, make him so bad ass that the zombie virus can can keep his body animated even without a head. So if you message me asking me "how can he be a zombie without a head" I will find you and backhand you because I just explained it.

I just wanted some original creative lisense because ALL freaking zombie movies are the same damn thing. How does he sing? Well, he can't... he's a freaking zombie! I never liked the fact that he played his stupid ass gutair between fights. I also put him in some biker threads, (mmm... leather) and give him bleach white skin.

Unlike all my other reincarnations, this looks the least like the original...

ROCK and ROLL!

This comment applies to all the Extreme pictures. I think you did a great job re-designing all the characters, and would have loved to see what you could ahve come up for the rest of the roster. They have elements that connect them to the original, but enough difference to make them fresh. An all round great job

The little one eyed demon is called Le Malta, Lord Raptor is his servent.
They have a contract that states that Raptor must serve Le Malta and in return Le Malta would be Raptor's drummer.
Even in his human form he didn't look like a rocker and in the manga he really didn't look like a rocker.
The only time he's looked or even sounded like an actual rocker was the U.S. made version of Darkstalkers, and onethey made him into an idiot and two, this version Sucked Out Loud.

LOL. Zabel is my last name.

I bet it's pronounced the same way, as well.

Great series! While I love the Capcom version, these's are pretty awesome too! Though, I must say, with Lord Raptor, I've always felt he was more punk than metal. The liberty spikes, Union Jack, and the torn pants and all.

.....naw.....a zombie virus NEEDS the head intact to MAKE the zombie.

Lord Raptor in the game became a zombie after selling his soul to a demon to gain power. The can easily apply here as well: A powerful demon gives Raptor immense dark power and unimaginable rock skills. In exchange Raptor gives up his soul......

And his head. XD

yeah, I made this character 3 years ago, and had never watched a zombie movie before. Now I know that in order to kills a zombie, one must aim for the brain. KABLAMMO!

Proves the MAGIC zombies are FAR more deadly than the science made ones. Especially those created by an evil demon lord. XD

I dunno, Raptor's face is kinda one of the things that made him recognizable...

Yeah, I'm thinking of redesigning this series someday, I think my original series needs a little revamp anyways...

Ha ha- no head. Makes it harder to identify him at the morgue, though.
"What the hell would be doing at a fucking morgue?"
I dunno, playing a concert... without a head?
Still, crappy commentary aside, this is nice stuff. I totally love the biker outfit and agree about the whole torn pants deal in zombie form. And the shoulder pads? The Beatles meet Ghost Rider. ^____^ Love them.

Honestly the drawing is great, but i like him better with a head. It gives me the creeps. Not much for the Dullahan look, but if it's creeping me out then you did a good job. Make it when he wins, he finds his head.

The no head was a nice touch. Looking at this makes me want to put some Rob Zombie on Repeat/shuffle and crank the volume up.

Damn, this is great. I love all your work, especially this Darkstalkers series. You should really do just zombie picture with like a gang of zombies tearing guts out of peoples' stomachs and stuff, but really gory and creative. That would be so AWESOME!



You Rule

I will just add, that if you were to do my suggestion, that the zombies should be all falling apart and shit...nice
