Who else thought Vampiro totally ruled towards the end of WCW's shelf life? He burst onto the scene as a face-painted badass, then became almost a darker version of Sting. Whether heel or babyface, Vamp was worth watching. It's no shocker that this stunning CAW crafted by Forsaken has already cracked the 1,000 downloads marker.

It's a sensational piece of work. The painted model is especially jaw-dropping, and it looks great under 2K's swanky lighting engine during entrances or under ring lights. Forsaken deserves credit for taking the paint off and giving Vampiro fans another version to play as too. That sort of stuff is always going to bag a creator brownie points in collections like this.

Hey, you could download Vamp then stick him in the Dark Carnival with this guy...

Raven wasn't in the Dark Carnival for too long before telling WCW to cram it and bolting back to Paul Heyman's ECW in mid-1999. That proved to be a smart decision, because Raven was in the WWF a year or so later and WCW was in the doldrums before going extinct. Looks like ol' Johnny Polo had the last laugh there.

DRMCREATS has went for a real early look for Raven's grunge character, and it works. This could double up as a key part of any ECW Universe if somebody's trying to build one. If not, then the character is ideal for a WCW revisit. Matches against Diamond Dallas Page await you, Kurt Coba...erm...Raven.

Side note: Other Ravens are on Community Creations, but few of them go this retro with the look overall.
