Oh snap, I completely forgot to turn mine’s in! Whoops.
Quick sketch and colored on mouse. Glad I got my tab back, now I’m gonna test out them brushes, Chain. Phew, I’m psyched.
Nice works, you guys!
I’m seeing a lot of fantastic Kens here!!!
SWOON
hey guys i just got to say that this tread is the shit, i love the art styles you guys use, my only regret is that oro isn’t in A3. oh well, lets see some badass akumas
The Goukis should be very interesting.
Seba - Thanks man. But my ken sucked. Your’s PWMED!
Well it’s the freakin weekend and I have some time. So here is my Gouki/Akuma/guy who killed ken&Ryu’s master/his own brother. Whatever you want to call him haha.
SFMC, did you base your Akuma on the Alpha Generations one?
who the fuck cares, akuma/gouki is the same in every game except in 3s because he has grey hairs, but still the same, he has always had muscles on top of muscles in places where muscles don’t exist.
anyway nice one sfmc
Dood SFMC, that medium rocks so much, is that acryllic?
Just a question to Chainwore: After SFA3 characters, which game will be?
Hehe, to all you guys drawing Ken with a ponytail and brown gloves: Alpha Ken wears yellow gloves, suckas. ^_~
Kando: Ah ha! There it is. I was thinking to myself “Hrm, I wonder what happened to Kandoken? He hasn’t missed a week yet.” Good to see you’re still at it; I look forward to seeing your entry each week 
That’s a sweet lookin Ken too. I think the hair at the top of his head should probably be smoothed down with his ponytail. Having short hairs at that part of his head kinda give a mullet-like effect.
Switcher: Good lookin Ken. There just seems to be a few inconsistencies in the lighting. The area right below his chest should probably stay in shadow, like the surrounding area. Same goes for his left(our right) side hair. I took a peek around your gallery. Good lookin stuff, dude.
SFMC: Sweet lookin Akuma, and the pose is great. I never would have thought to do his overhead attack. He sure is mean lookin.
I ain’t SFMC, but I’m quite certain it was Photoshop.
At first I was thinking we’d just move on to 3S, but when I think about it more, I think it might be intersting to do something different, like Vampire Savior or Guilty Gear. I will probably leave it up to vote when the time comes.
EDIT: D’oh, Switcher, you posted while I was typing up my post. Good lookin Akuma. Same as the Ken, the lighting seems just a little inconsistent. Try to define a main light source and a secondary light source, and stick to them. There doesn’t really seem to be a reason to have his head in such deep shadow compared to the rest of his body. and the shinyness on the beads seems a little bit much. Otherwise, it’s lookin good, man.
i want darkstalkers or rival school :tup:
I’m late.
trying to catch up. perhaps by next week

after looking at the lineart again, I think I messed up his forearm… the muscles are supposed to twist with the wrist methinks. Oh well… next time.
Chain & Landel, your reference pics were very useful
Sweet work from Switcher and Rook, man. That is one manly-ass Gief, man. Yeah, Chain, I shoulda tried a little harder, but then again, it’s pretty tough coloring on mouse without my wrist cramping up(at that time, anyway). I’m just glad I don’t hafta resort to anymore rushed work, well, sorta rushed work now that I have my tab back.
Kandoken, I really, really love your stuff. Especially your Dhalsim, could you go a little into how you do it? Painter, photoshop, etc…
Love the Akuma Switcher, the purple electricity effect is too good dude.
Excellent work! It’s a good try. The twisting and turning of the forearm affects all the muscles around it, especially the supinator longus.
As a rule of thumb, the supinator longus always extends towards the thumb. (How corny) The crossing of this muscle from the outer side of the arm to the inner side (thumb) makes it so distinct. A great way to see this is to observe your own arm.
I liked your Zangief so much I decided to redraw it with some minor corrections. Hope you don’t mind! I guess I got carried away… even added contour lines so you can better visualize the form.
Sorry about the sketchiness, I haven’t slept enough for the past few weeks, been too busy.
Take note of the brachialis anticus, which connects to the supinator longus. The brachialis tends to bunch up when the arm is bent like so. Normally it would be straighter and leaner if the arm is straightened at the elbow.
Also note that the collar bone (clavicle) forms a kind of S-shape when viewed from the top.
Nice gief Rook. Very tough looking and awesome color job this time around.
Good akuma switch and Kando. And Kando it’s not acrylic. I haven’t used real paint in 5 years eversince i became a digi whore. Also i can’t believe I forgot Akumas beads.
Nice crit Land, you nailed it on the spot. And thx to all.
sorry, rushed through my last post. trying to catch up w/ comments first…
jz_chu
looks good, something abt the mouth looks Homer-ish (Homer as in Homer Simpson)
VSlash
liking both Akuma pics. I prefer the 1st, it’s a personal bias towards stoic Akuma
Psychosquall collab looks good too.
Twelve
NICE Rose. keep 'em coming man, I’m trying to catch up myself. I’d love to see more of your stuff.
Hiten
nice Ken. dynamic as usual.
star250
interesting effect in Flash. I’ll have to check it out again… I haven’t touched Flash since Flash 5
SFMC
nice Ken & Akuma. esp like the perspective on the Ken one.
greyhound
grayscale akuma works well.
Chain
really looks like he’s gonna anti-sir someone with the shoryuken
Kandoken
Ken looks good, but his hairline is a bit too high… makes him look old.
Akuma pic looks good. trying a SFMC-esque no lineart style?
switcher
that’s SF3 Ken, wrong era man colours look good though.
I think Akuma’s right fist should be slightly tilted and not perfectly vertical (looks like he’s holding something).
Landel
thx for the crit!
phew!
