Character Select Fan Art Challenge

Hanzou: I like that popart style you use. Very CFJ :).

Rook: Geez, why can’t I rep anyone here? I asked this at S-C, but I’ll be annoying :p. Is he healing up in the psycho drive? I like the more greeny-glowy version btw. Brings more attention to him. Good call.

Thank you, man.
:pleased:

Man, all the past post have been killer. I knew bison would bring out the best ya’ll. Now I get to fuck it up…

Photon
saikou kurashaa~!
I see improvement, keep it up :slight_smile: As Ron mentioned, make the outsretched hand larger to emphasize it’s reaching towards the viewer.
I’d be careful abt drawing his feet in though… might be mistaken for boobies. Try also making the eyes smaller in proportion to the width of his head… eye:head = ~1:5 IIRC.

Kandoken
schweeet… very nice facial expression. head looks a bit disconnected though.

SFMC
nice underlit effect going on. I wanted to colour my original Bison pic this way too, but then I switched drawings.
The brim of his peak cap should curve the other way if viewed from below, though.

greyhound
more intense shadows, is it? I like it :slight_smile:
btw I answered your Q over on S-C.com (& later in this post)… and only Premium Members can give rep on SRK.

Hanzou
welcome back man.
that Sagat is nice. As Ron pointed out, the toes make his foot look a tad off. Light source Ron already mentioned. Good to see you’re keeping to the CFJ style :slight_smile:

Deon
that peak cap looks a bit big, but otherwise it’s all very good man.
cape goes over the shoulder guards.

re: my Bison pic(s)… I tried to get a more greenish glow in the highlights, but it really killed the reds (being complimentary colours and all) and I didn’t want that.

He’s supposed to be doing his A3 boss intro, descending from his airship… but I couldn’t figure out how to do the flames well, so I just used a colour overlay + outer glow instead. It came out kinda weak, I think :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s my Bison who’s suppose to be doing a sliding kick, but looks more like he’s flying somewhere.

It is SFA3 fat Bison after all. j/k
Thanks man, I’ll take note.

Here’s Akuma…

Couldn’t really think of anything, so I just decided to draw an “opposing” version of my Ryu pic.

Hope you like.

And thanks for all the comments about Sagat. They’re much appreciated.

Crazy stuff Hanzou, quick comment… seems like with those intense highlights on the hair and face we should see some on his necklace beads. Looks like Akuma wound up in Resident Evl and then got bitten.:tup:

Ak-Umar
Try giving Bison a ground plane for him to be sliding on, than start with the feet and build up. Eventhough Bison’s sweep is impossible in real life if you start from the ground up you should be able to give him that grounded feeling.

B-b-b-back again…

Deon: Looks cool man. I think his head is a bit big for his body. How come such a small image? I resize everything down/up to 650 pixels for the gallery, so it won’t look as good once it’s resized if the original is small.

ak-UMAR: Lol, I like that smile. He looks so happy. Three main things would help get that slide feeling. One is to make both of them feet parallel to the ground, two is to make the speed lines parallel to the ground, and three is to actually draw the gound, maybe with some dust getting kicked up by his slide. Hope that helps!

Hanzou: Very cool and dramatic Akuma. He’s looking just a little simian though. I did a quick paint over for you with some feature adjustments. Main adjustments I made were: slanted down eyebrow ridge, added upper lip definition, closed in teeth gaps, made the teeth go back into his mouth, and moved the hairline down.

OH boy. i have no idea how to draw water so i just try to cover it up with rocks, little more rocks would be better but i thought i didn’t wanna clutter it up. Here’s sagat. In order to beat ryu he must tiger uppercut the sky from inside a waterfall!

Hmmm, those are some interesting adjustments Chain. I was sort of going for that “subhuman” look for Akuma though. Make him look more demonic than human.

But I’ll make the changes if you want, because I understand that some folks would prefer your interpretation over mine.

My Bison! Very standard pose for him, but I did this one with little reference.

a little different…

DFist: Lookin good. I like the idea a lot. I think one thing that would help the waterfall effect would be a whole lot more mist. Especially where it is hitting the rocks and his body. A few other critiques I have are that I would take that rock away from beneath his feet, so that he’s not grounded and is in midair instead. And that the color of the sky is just a little too close to the color of the waterfall, so they blend together a bit (especially on my crappy laptop :P)

Hanzou: Hey dude. Nah, don’t change it if it’s not what you were going for. My word ain’t the law :slight_smile: As it stands, what you have is a very strong image and I definately dig your style.

Switcher: Good stuff! Glad to see you’re trying to do it on your own, with less reference from existing art. I’d say it came out pretty well. My main suggestion would be to not use quite as many marks with your linework. A drawing can easily get messy if you aren’t careful with your markmaking.

Wombat: Very cool watercolor, dude. It’s nice to see traditional media. Very intersting interpretation of Bison. He looks like a politician, lol. Are you a fan of David Mack? This reminds me a bit of his style. Solid painting you got there. The only thing that stands out as a little funny is he area below his face, where it’s hard to tell what to make of the shapes there. Keep em coming.

You’re right chain, Bison’s hand looks a little too scratchy.

Metal Gear Bison?

Rook - the Sagat had a reference photo, but it wasn’t Wes Studi. I wasn’t thinking about that terrible movie, just wanted a more realistic feel. Your recent efforts into color show incredible promise and that Sagat especially takes the cake.

DF, that is a gangsta ass Sagat man. You should keep goin with it, I wanna see the finished results!

vega x- NICE TEXTURES, man! Great Shinkawa rendition!

Rabid - That’s a nice watercolor, man, was that referenced? It looks MAD realistic.

Switcher - That’s an awesome Bison, watch out for the usage of black, man.

Hanzou - You Akuma’s awesome, I completely agree with Chain on the cirt.

SFMC - That is a dope ass painting of Bison, it looks like you did it like like 5 minutes, you must teach me the ways!

Chain, that Sagat’s too pimped man. Too good.

Thanks you guys for the crits on Bison, the flames were honestly something I just stumbled on when I was finishing up. I shoulda messed around with it more, but I suck ass at digipainting. :frowning: Rook, you pointed out something really good, whenever I use red I tend to freeze and color unusually, I think using pure red is as bad as using pure white or black… that’s odd.

Nice Sagat Dfist. Watch the rib area. You tend to go too thick on that.

Nice Bison rabid. Yeah I agree he does look like a politician. hehe

Vega cool Bison bro, although I think the eye should be the brightest part cause you got alot of highlights competing against it.

Kando I wish i did that in 5. Just did it during break at work. It was like 15 to 20 more like it. Still lots and lots of flaws as mentioned by others. Just understand color and form and you will be painting real fast. You already understand it though man.

it’s pretty done kan. I don’t think I’ll go back and redo it any further. BUt If I did I would do some things that I learned right after I finished it lol. That is to have sagat’s pose more dynamic so it’ll look like he’ll uppercut the sky lol. And i was having trouble figuring out what a waterfall should look like but a waterfall is really just a cliff with water falling over it so I think It would have been alot more successful if I render a cliff first then paint over water over them.

Also chain, are you talking about the large dark area right under his feet oro the small rock further down to the left? Cus the large dark area is suppose to be the water parting as he’s making his exit and showing the stuff behind it lol. Guess I didn’t do that too well.

VEGAX- dope color scheme, pretty groovy. although you have the bright green highlights in some weird places. Overall, you captured bison pretty well.

I dunno if I can still submit this like add it or something but I did a Ken fanart and I think it came out pretty nice.
