Congrats to Hsien-Ko for winning the June Max Poll! And as always a special thanks to my Patrons who participated and to all my patrons who make these images possible!I haven't played Darkstalkers, though I have played a couple fighting games that use Hsien-Ko's sprite. She's got a great design and, more importantly, she's a really fun example of one of my favorite eastern monsters: the Jiangshi! Which are sometimes called "Hopping Vampires" even if they only kind of sort of do a couple of minor vampire things (like having the ability to suck out people's life essence when they go out of control.)If you want to learn more about them, please accept my shameless movie recommendation and check out the Hong Kong Supernatural, Martial-Arts, Comedy Classic: "Mr. Vampire." Produced by Sammo Hung and starring Lam Ching Ying. Unless you are already pretty familiar with Hong Kong cinema of the 80s, I can guarantee you've never seen anything like it. Anyway, I just realized I didn't say too much about Hsien-Ko. Look, she's just great; what more do you want from me?SIDE NOTE: The skateboard was based on a joke that was made by a friend about the pose. I thought it was funny enough you might notice that, in the behind the scenes image, her alt costume changes half-way through.
