While the book is a celebration of how the Darkstalkers series has influenced artists and creators, We hope the book also serves as inspiration for everyone to go out there, be unapologetic, and create. Proud to have @trungles.com keep the whimsy in our souls.

These past few days have been quite the time for Darkstalkers, there is a refreshed energy for creative output, this series truly inspires artists on so many levels. A master of their craft linktr.ee/ickpot has graced our pages with several tributes to the ever iconic, Morrigan.

One of the goals for this book was to feature multiple aspects of the fan space, thank you to all that has contributed something unique. So glad to feature another pillar of many communities - @vampybitme.bsky.social

EVO Japan was quite a showing for Vampire Savior! Was glad to have been there in person to witness a historical moment for the series. That said, We're not quite done yet! Here is a special piece by one of the OG's - @kandoken.bsky.social

BANG. No chill from @kainonaut.com

On the topic of special spaces, We would like to give a nod to a truly unique spot - The House of Lilith, @itsratnest.bsky.social ! You can feel the love for Darkstalkers the moment you enter its doors. Thank you for being a bastion for the VSAV scene.

While arcades may be at an undead state, passionate fans keep games like Vampire Savior thriving in its authentic form! The team from @picopicomansion.bsky.social is sharing their love for Darkstalkers with some fan fiction by byojakus and Qbee cosplay by @picojr.bsky.social !

The Darkstalkers series wouldn't be as special as it is if it weren't for its arcade roots. It's truly one of those games that culminates everything great about arcade gaming! It's pleasure to to have Hiro illustrate this for us! instagram.com/nojob_hiro/

Congratulations, you have outlived a very Chinese time in our feed. Hope we're not feeling exhausted yet? Can we now chain her down? From yours truly @saigados.bsky.social

These Monsters better watch their step, they have no chance with the amount of Hunters we've gotten! A sweet treat from Cookiez continuing the Hsien-ko love! www.instagram.com/cookiez_illu...

They just sounded the gong and told us... it's not over! Has the zine been hijacked? Clawing in is @zerosetsu.bsky.social 's addition to the Hsien-ko gallery!

Can't keep her sealed! We hope everyone gets the picture by now... @baimonart.bsky.social swings in with more Hsien-Ko!

Once more, it's amazing to see how unique artists interpret the characters! Such an energetic vibe only from @pajarona.bsky.social !

Razor sharp as always! The ever-cutting Hsien-ko by @blankart.bsky.social is here!

Oh no they keep dropping like Tenraiha's! Watch your head, here comes @yungkhan.bsky.social 's Hsien-ko!

We're not taking a break quite yet, Hsien-ko has many fans as she does ways to use her weapons! A cute number by none other than @quasimodox.bsky.social !

It was close, but this girl hopped her way to the top! You're definitely gonna see a lot of Hsien-ko... Starting off with @kentaropjj.bsky.social 's striking rendition!

Make some noise! The one and only @spacedey.bsky.social delivers a head bangin' Zabel! Proud to have her in this collection of artists. Have a blissful evening everyone!

I know it hasn't been 28 hours later, but we have to acknowledge the main guy from down, down, down-under. Except, something's bit different... Rockin' out with @kur0ken.bsky.social 's Zabel!

You have to admire those that have championed these games even when nobody was looking. Fans that create keep this series alive, even though the last true game was decades ago! Love to see Tsuper Tsar give Darkstalkers characters get some traditional media love!

One of the truly underrepresented entities in the series, the one that broke Savior's back (rom capacity), the Final Guardian. Could Phobos have changed VSAV's competitive landscape? This inspiring piece by Komboh keeps up pondering. komboh.com

Bulleta is one of those characters that give artists a lot of weapons to play with, figuratively and literally! Check out what arsenal ItsJustSuppi has given her! www.instagram.com/itsjustsuppi...

Let's rollback a little bit and Hunt for some answers, which character got the most pages? While it unfortunately isn't Bulleta, artists like @tedbob84.bsky.social makes sure she is represented!

Q-Bee once again continues to be a proven artist favorite, she just wont quit! A sticky situation shines our eyes thanks to @swamitsunami.bsky.social !

Well this cat strayed away from the bunch! The cuteness continues with @rissabun.art 's Felicia!

BUT, we just can't get away from the cute gals of Darkstalkers...! Aldrimitsu did not hesitate on showing us how sweet they are! www.instagram.com/Aldrimitsu

The women of Darkstalkers sure get the most attention, but let's not forget about the men (and robot?)! Good 'ol @cinamuffins.bsky.social makes sure its a bloody boy's night out in Makai too!

Hunter love keeps comin, Donovan truly is a forgotten Capcom protagonist huh? Another awesome tribute to this hunter by @oneirosviz.bsky.social

Just a reminder, Pre-Orders are still open! Thank You!

Vampire Savior notably omitted a few of the characters from previous titles, but that doesn't stop the artists from remembering them! @raindropsndew.bsky.social reminds us who the 'cooler' Hunter is!

It's always midnight somewhere, or as the saying goes! @kitsune23star.bsky.social treating us to a little devil juice to cap the week off~🍷

Monsters gotta eat, and its the weekend, so devour something new! Thankfully ODA ART reminds to explore fresh delicacies..?? www.instagram.com/oda_art

A mirror match? Great souls think alike perhaps! @yarmy.bsky.social also with a Gyaru inspired Felicia entry, did they plan this?

Creative re-interpretations breathe new life to established characters, and Darkstalkers fans are really good at it! Gyaru Felicia by @kryraynecosplay.bsky.social is such a perfect mix!

If they gathered votes on succubi vs vs cat girls, It's safe to say who will win. Great to have the one and only @reiqart.bsky.social showcase his favorite!

Cat distribution system overload! There's so much unexplored lore in Darkstalkers, but this gives artists so much fuel to create more. @byronb-art.bsky.social highlights Felicia's feline family in his entry!

Well, cat got my tongue! what else it there to say? Felicia is another fan favorite, the perfect mix of cute and playful with a little bit of spice. Not unlike the works of @oxcoxa.bsky.social , the other half of team MONSTER!

Hope everyone is getting cozy because we're barely done! Lot's more to show... Stay comfy as @rap1993.bsky.social sets the mood for tonight!

Such an Iconic pair, probably one of the most memorable in fighting game history? Well, there's one guy that is very familiar with a pair of gals. Honored to have @dsloogs.com grace our pages. #SpaceMaria

There's no pair more iconic than with Morrigan's... better half, Lilith! @kajin.bsky.social brings us this sultry piece to reflect on 🙏

Well, not everything can be so sweet... it is, Dark-stalkers after all...? One-half of the project team: @saigados.bsky.social

They really hit a homerun with Q-Bee's design as we are still seeing some of the most loving fan work of her. All Hail the Queen? Happy to have royalty in our line-up, none other than Kaho Shibuya with her exceptional cosplays!

The honey keeps flowing! It's amazing what fans craft for the love of these characters. Amazing felt work by あめ!

It's nice to have such a multi-faceted line-up for the zine! Props to MilkTeaTiff for representing Sasquatch with their art, but also some cool Morrigan cosplays!

A great thing about Darkstalkers is how artists have embraced the fun and cute side fully, Like this lovely contribution by Yumecan!

It wouldn't be a Community without all sorts of different creators! Proud to say @sharkparty.bsky.social is in the Monster! list #sharkpartysweep

It's looking like Lilith is dominating these pages, or not? Well that doesn't stop @gambiedare.bsky.social from being a true enjoyer, check out his work in the book!

Pre-orders for MONSTER! fan-zine have been extended! 💜 Over 40 incredible artists are featured in this very special fan-collection for Darkstalkers. Find your copy at monsterzine.myshopify.com 🦇

Lilith love train continues! Don't you love it when artists inject their own personality into them? This cool rendition by @meltyuchuu.bsky.social 100% oozes with their style!

There's a few characters that only appeared in Savior but caused a cultural shift nonetheless, like fan favorite Lilith. Artists love this character to this day! It can be seen in the poster stylings of @5stargold.bsky.social
