Well, time to post a couple of these, don't you agree?

Those who know me (or who stalk me, but then again, same thing, basically) may remember a very similar mock-up already posted on a different site, well, some time has passed and this is the presumably final version of the mock-up.

Now for some backstory, 'twas helping a friend with a fangame, as I usually do, and during brainstorming we came up with various ideas for Zones, most of which focussing rather on originality and creativity, rather than what would actually make a good stage (retrospectively, it's not the best of tactics, but it worked nonetheless). One of these ideas was a medival/renaissance-era eastern-European town, in a similar vain to classic Praque or Budapest, with me throwing in the idea of mixing that with Castlevania elements, such as settings, resources and music.
While the idea in itself was pushed aside and practically went nowhere, I was intrigued by it and started creating a series of mock-ups (well, first some backgrounds and tiles to make said mock-ups with, but that's besides the point), which I'm now allowed to share (seeing as the other guy wanted me to firstly keep quiet about it, but that's over aswell) and will do so the next few days.

So, what's the story behind this image, then? Well, as stated above, it's Castlevania oriented Sonic, basically, with this mock-up being set outside town, in and around the local graveyard. Various ghouls and ghosts (or rather, Badniks meant to imitate those) try to halt Sonic's progress as he tries to make his way into town, only to confront Robotnik inside the castle.

As for the image itself (you all saw it coming, didn't you?), it's, just like the idea, pretty much Castlevania oriented, namely the TurboGrafix16 title "CV: Rondo of Blood", where the ground pattern, grass, bridge (however not the logs), gravestones, decorations (including the barely visible skeleton*) and castle in the background came from. All CV: Rondo of Blood resources were ripped by BadBatman3. As for the few other sources in this image, they originated from either CV: Bloodlines/The New Generation for Genesis (the Moon) or Super CV 4 for SNES (the foilage and the fence) and were ripped by BadBatman3 aswell. Only the village/town origines from a non-Castlevania game as it is part of a background from the Genesis racing game OutRun 2019 (and similar to the Speed City mock-ups from days gone by, I don't know the ripper, but thanks either way).

This concludes the first of 8 images, with the other 7 following soon.

*"His name was Bill Eddington, he was a chemist, he died at the age of 42. His cause of death? Assassination. Via poison. He's been dead for approximately 17.5 years and it was an earthquake which uprooted him from his grave approximately 2 years ago."
