Rook, thanks for inspiring me, bro!
Kandoken: Holy shit, thats amazing! one of your best yet!
DanSC: Good pose and interesting idea. Vega looks mega creepy. Just be careful with the forshortening.
Star250: Thatās great man. Like how youāve added the blood and made it black and white. Really nice stuff.
Rook: i love the golds in this one. Cool to see a picture from you without any line work. Iād try the same thing but I aināt got the balls 
Hereās my Vega:
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6996/vegaweb5kh.jpg
This tok Fāin ages. i got a new laptop and tablet and tryed it out. And had to down grade to PS 5.5 
Anyways, I was wrestling with that damn stylus the whole picture. It kept on dribbling over my my picture when I lifted it off the board. And then it would spaz out. Any tips on Tablet care?
Kandoken, that could probably be my favorite entry into the entire challenge!
Argh, I havenāt even really started my Vega yet!
Wow, these are great! I hope the next one you guys do is Darkstalkers! after that 3rd strike style!
Hey fellas, the website has been updated again.
mint: Great Karin there. Very nice looseness. Not a whole lot for me to critique 
dunlap: Pretty nice, dude. Watch the shape and size of her nose. Usually cute characters like Cammy look cuter if they are drawn with smaller noses with less of a bridge. Also, I think that her lips are sticking out just a bit much.
4neqs: Looks pretty cool, but I tend to agree with Rook. Without her costume, it doesnāt really read as Mika. Her proportions could use a bit of adjustment. Smaller head, wider thighs, longer legs. The Karin aināt lookin too bad either. Try simplifying the nose a bit.
Seba: Nice Cody portrait. Different from your usual style, but still quite good. My main critique is to try and take notice on where shadows would fall more. The underside of things should be shadowed (underside of nose, upper lip) and things that hang forward should cast shadows on the things below them (hair to forehead, chin to neck)
rook: Very cool Cammy, and nice successful exaggerated perspective. One thing that looks just a bit off is the position of her breasts. They seem too high on her torso. Usually, there should be more pec between the collarbone and the breasts. That Vega is waaay sharp though. Very nice job. Hehe, how come everyone is better than me at the no lines thing? A few minor nitpicks: Maybe the back muscles around the shoulder blade could be more distinct, dull down his bracelet a bit, and cast a shadow from his sash onto his let. Great stuff!
Switcher: Good to see you trying a non referenced pic. The more you do, the easier it will get. Study up on some anatomy and it will help a lot. Bandit pointed out some good things with his crit.
star: Nice! The colors are pretty good too, but it definately has more impact in the b&w version. And the lettering looks great too. Minor points: I think his braid is just a bit too straight. Something heavy like a braid is unlikely to be pushed that high and straight by wind. Also, the ground shadows are just a bit awkward; kinda makes him look like heās on a very steep hill.
DocSproc: Cool Cody. and interesting style. I think overall, this would look a lot better if it were just brightened up a bit. Right now itās very mid-tone dominant. If you were to brighten it up and add some highlights, it would help bring it out a lot.
Dan: Very dynamic! I think her torso is getting just a little too distorted. Even when drawing things that are behind stuff, be sure to draw through when you are sketching so that the basic shape stays accurate. Very cool Vega pose. and kinda creepy! Hehe, nobody likes drawing stuff like chain link fences, but it would be nice if it were just a touch more defined.
DFist: Nice pose! Very fun. Whatās with the funny cropping though? Since itās in photoshop, it would be easy to just expand the canvas so that edges arenāt interfering with her feet, and so that she is centered better.
Kando: Sweet! I was wondering when youād return with another kickass piece, and here it is. Great moody feel. Seems a shame that you didnāt finish the hands though, since the rest is so good. It would be really nice to see that hand and claw down there.
Munta: Nice! I like your use of colored lines, and he has a nice cocky additude. Try to be less shy with your shading. Donāt be afraid to go in there with some darker darks and cast distinct shadows. Dunno what might have been happening with your tablet. Is it a Wacom? You might try to mess with the configuration options. I like to set mine to be less sensitive so that I have to press a bit harder, but itās easier to make subtle marks.
Hereās my Vega:

Concerning whatās going to happen next:
Earlier in the challenge some people expressed interest in doing the SFA3 console cast too. I have that ready to go as soon as we finish up the arcade cast if people are still interested. If everyone is sick of Alphaand want to move on, than we can take a week or two to break right after the arcade cast is finished, and vote on the next game. Otherwise, Iāll just go ahead and append on the console cast, and after we finish that, weāll break and vote.
I was thinking games to vote on could be Third Strike, Garou, Darkstalkers, Project Justice, and Guilty Gear XX. Hehe, I know I didnāt include KoF, but damn, KoF has like a billion characters and honestly, I donāt really find most of them particularly interesting. Iām open to hear out other suggestions. Let me know what you guys think!
If you did GGXX I might actually make time for that.
Project Justice pls.
(read:I want to see and draw some Natsuās)
Actually KOF would work, but I suppose you could limit it to just one game.
(read: KOF '98 pls I want to draw Shermie)
Iād like to see console castā¦
Dreaded Fist:
You shouldnāt put yourself down, i think she looks cute. Watch out for the background, itās a very similar tone to her skin. Good work.
Kandoken:
That is so hot. Amazing. Everything works so well. I feel so inspired now.
CptMunta:
Nice, you pretty much nailed his pretty boy looks.
CHAiNwhore:
Awesome sketch as usual.

VEGA!
Pretty much my first colouring job in PS after some exploring
Dunlap: Sorry man, missed you out the last round. I like that Cammy, was the pose inspired the ballerina sculpture by Degas? http://www.talariaenterprises.com/product_lists/degas.html
Good to see your stuff again, itās been too long
DanSC: cool pic of Vega scaling the wall.
DFist: youāre too hard on yourself, man. That Sak is pretty good. I agree with jz on the cropping thing
Kandoken: good to see you back manā¦ with a kickass Vega too! (mask is awesome, I can believe itās made of cast metal) Shoulder seems a bit sloped, but itās pretty damn cool nonetheless. Was this pic done in that Akiman style you were talking abt?
Cpt: Nice Vega manā¦ blue-eyed pretty boy in all his glory. Only crit would be to move the sash to the side, right now it looks a bit like it hangs from the front. good pic.
Ron: Nice Vega. Youāve given him his SF2-style claw as well Loving the attention to detail, only nitpick would be that I think he should have more chiselled facial features. Good stuff.
Sterilzer: cool pic. Welcome to the board!
thanks for all the comments abt my Vega pic, doing it was a quite a challenge. thx esp for the crits on how to imrpove, you guys have been really helpful in helping me growā¦ esp in this area of colouring where Iāve always been kinda dazed & confused, much to the dismay of my professor (RIP).
as an aside, I now hate my Vega. he looks way too buff for my liking.
Blasted morning after syndrome 
Are you also gonna include the PSP Cast? Which has even more characters? Or will you also wait on that? So it goes fromā¦Arcade - Console - ReRelease? I dunnoā¦
We should do Mark of the Wolves. There is a small cast, itās a switch from the Capcom style, and the characters are cool. Then after then we should do either Guilty Gear XX or go all out and do Marvel vs Capcom 2. That would make me happy.
actually lets just stop it and move on lol. Onto 3s, or whatever game you guys vote on. Letās never do mvc2 thatās justā¦a nightmare.
thx for liking the sak pic guys. I was really referring to sak herself more than the pic. She looks kinda ugly hehe.
kando: I thought vegaās mask is suppose to be smooth. His right deltoid looks a bit off. otherwise, pretty moody pic. Nicely done.
Munta: Cool pose dude. Props for including the straps on the mask and coloring the lineart.
CW: Solid as usual. I think for Vega, a bit of exaggerated proportion might work better, to make him look taller and amore agile.
Iām Keen for the New Challengers with Guile next. Iām Itching to try and finally get Guile haircut right. And Iād love to see everyoneās take on bruce Lee opps Fei Long too. Itās only one more month when you think about it. Then Iād be super keen to move on to 3rd Strike.
Though DF has a good point. maybe it would be good to start the new game now while everyones on holidays.
I only played hikaru for MotWā¦but i really like the cast! we should try it.
Do you mean Hotaru?
Yeah, but if I was to vote now, itād be Mark of the Wolves.
Yeah, screw that, we need to finish at LEAST the dreamcast console characters.
But we shouldnāt move on to 3rd Strike, boo to that, we just drew a bunch of Street Fighter people.
Instead of MotW, Iād be happy doing Marvel Super Heroes. Why ? Because seeing people draw american super heroes with Animey/manga influenced styles ( like many of us have ) is funny and interesting.
Damn, sorry Iām late with this, first time I was late for a character I liked.
(Peer pressure)
Fine, hereās one with the costume. But I would want both pieces to make it to the Mika gallery were that possible (similar with what happened with 'gief where I had two entries). :B
