EDIT: Whoops. Looks like you snuck in there while I was typing mine, Greyhound. Nice Bison! The lighting on this one actually looks really good man. Bravo. Love the torn cape. My only critiques are that his facial structure looks just a little on the lumpy side, and that it might be cool to see some of those purples in the bg find a little bit of their way onto the figure too. Good stuff man!

Oh hey thanks! I pretty much did the same thing with the lighting that I saw you do with my Sagat. I’m glad it paid off. Yeah I’m with you on the lumpy face. The problem is the way I do my digital inking… i just play around with contrast/blur/ and the photocopy filter. :lame: It works great for the overall composition but little details like (in this case) the face can get a wee bit screwed up. I think the original sketch had slightly better defintion on his jaw and chin.

I forgot to add the purples ROFL. I planned to, honest. This is what happens when you don’t make a to-do list first.

VSlash: It’s hard to tell if you are joking or if you are serious, or maybe a little bit of both, due to the nature of the internet. But in any case, you’re right my Sagat’s scar totally looks like ground beef, haha. If you would rather I not critique your stuff from now on, that’s cool. Let me know.

Nope, I was kidding. :party: Critique AWAY !:wow:

photon: Willy Bison uses Dolls instead of chipmunks to sort nuts
ncx: lol
ncx: Does that mean his Oompa-loompas are mini-Balrogs?
photon: yes

Major Bison! Major Bison!
The most evil overlord
Major Bison! Major Bison!
Fear his teenage brainwashed horde
With crushers scissors and head stomps with re-used animation
He’ll put you in his Psycho Drive and conquer every nation

No, this isn’t my entry yet, and no, I wasn’t on any illegal substances during its creation. ^^; I felt like sharing this old one, is all. I’ll have a better one up this week.

Ron
nice work on both “painted” pics, I prefer the 2nd one better. Lighting is more dramatic & it adds a lot to the pic. SFMC’s got some very good points abt the counter forms.
inked b/w Sagat is awesome… I love heavy inked stuff and I think the detail is great on that one.

Switched
nice with the sketchy lines. The area around his upper neck looks a little too sketchy though, might be misconstrued as bushy hair.

Bandit
awesome. I never thought of Sagat like that

VSlash
nice pic. Generally waistband of shorts/pants/etc should be one more row of ab muscles lower.

ak-umar
cool recolour job. the sun in the bg makes me expect stronger highlights & shadows though.

vega-x
long time no see man. nice shading on the Sagat, coloured version looks pretty good.
did you reference a pic of Wes Studi or is that made up?

DFist
mellow-looking Akuma I like the pic, everything’s very coherent and works well together. I think this is very nicely done… it tells a story. Personal preference leans towards having stronger shadows and stronger differentiation between the foreground/background, but that’s just me. Good pic!

Landel
nice pose you’ve got him in, fierce facial expression works (even though I’m not a fan of Joe Mad). Curious that you turned to him though… I thought your Ken pic looked just fine, and I think a Sagat you thought out would do too. I do think the pic would look better if you drew one more row of ab muscles, right now his torso sems a bit short. Good to know that you’re sticking to drawing despite your busy schedule

greyhound
really nice job there man. I like the lighting and movement you’ve got going on in the pic, and the lineart is good as well.

Photon
SF rocks, katamari damashii rules,Charlie & Choc Factory is fun… but you’ve got to be on some kind of powerful trip to put all 3 together
LOL @ thought of mini-Balrog Oompa-Loompas.

…and to everyone who commented on Sagat
thx everyone, you’re all very, very kind
special thx for all the crit, paint-overs, advice, et al… I’m learning a lot from you guys!
sucks to hear Twelve is busy though… come back soon man!
glass, we don’t see yoru stuff often enough man

[System_1]

Hey, Chainwhore, I’ve seen your drawing at ronchan.net… Well, I was thinking…, I have some tales, some short stories I’d like to show you… Maybe you could draw some sequential stories. What do you think? Contact me, maybe. ielehiah@hotmail.com Thank you.

I should’ve put in the psycho power aura and omitted the cape

[Kandoken]

Some really awesome Sagats this past week! I wanna crit everyone, but that would be madness right about now, LOL. Great jobs on everyone’s parts!

Kandoken
Best facial expression EVER!

[Ephidel]

Props to those bison pics above. ^^^^^^^^

[greyhoundbus]

I went back and remixed my Bison a bit… fixed the chin up some and dabbed some more light yellow and some purple onto him.

[Hanzou]

Man am I late or what? :lol:

Here’s my rendition of Sagat, I know the pose is a bit goofy, but whatever;

I’ll do some more later.

[Paolochun]

Awesome Bison, Kandoken

[SFMC]

Dfist- nice Akuma man. Looks a bit too friendly though. Keep this up and you will be top tier someday. I love what you have so far.

Damn landel that is a vicious sagat. That is by far your best so far in pose and drawing wise.

Ghound bus. That is too, by far your best pic in the thread. Dynamic lighting and position

Vega x. Cool Sagat man. great textures, but don’t over do them. I think some of them can be toned down.

Kando. That shit is hot. The face especially. It would be cool if you made the blue light the main focal light and making the light coming from the bottom for more evilness.

Hanz. Awesome cfj Sagat man. Street fighter 2 turbo style. Dude you should try out the pen tool in ps or illustrator. Get some cleaner lines that way cause it looks like you dud all that by hand.

Awesome job everyone! Keep them coming i can’t wait to see more.

Thanks for the comment SFMC. Yeah, I’m still trying to work out the pen tool. It just takes so damn long…:sad: BTW, the Rose pic I did really bugs me, I may redo it…

just dropping this off first…

I really couldn’t decide which worked better

[ViciousSLASH]

just dropping this off first…

You nailed the cape, face and hat. :tup:

[System_1]

Ielehiah: Hey dude. Sorry, I’m tryin to get an art career started, so I’m not really in the market for random side projects right now. Glad you like my art though

4neqs: Pretty fun stuff dude. You are definately on some other kind of level with what you combined with that first one, lol. On that Bison flying towards us, I would say that you might try making his hand larger, since it’s coming towards us and is closer than the rest of him.

Kandoken: Wow! Great Bison, dude. The face is pure gold. I’m agreed with SFMC, it would be nice to see the light from his hands affect the lighting more.

SFMC: Cool sketch, man. I think the highlights on his body are just slightly too dull compared to the hotspots on his shoulder pads and face. Lol, and the highlight on the brim of his hat kinda looks like funky eyebrows. Love the angle though. I have a lot of difficulty with worm’s eye/bird’s eye.

Hanzou: Hot damn, that is sweet. I especially like his head. He’s very believable looking as a real person. Couple things to watch out for. All of his toes look about the same size, rather than having one definitive big toe. Also watch where your shadow/highlight areas are. Since he’s hunched over, I would say put his whole lower torso/pelvis area into shadow rather than have those highlights there. Keep em coming, dude, I love seeing these.

Rook: Awesome man! Same as with Kando’s pic. Since you have such a strong light in the picture, it would be cool to see it affect the lighting on him. I love how structurally sound his hat and boots are.
