Character Select Fan Art Challenge

Awesome fist, but I think his moustache is off, he looks more like Haggar, rather then Birdie.

Trying to see how much catching up i can do, so heres a cody of mine,

Cpt did a nice job on that vega, and so i tried to colour the line art too:wgrin:

Option B Ok this is a little off topic but you guys can see some of my line work at http://fanart.theotaku.com/artist.php?user_id=211401 Since I put that stuff up I’ve gotten a scanner AND photoshop which Ive been playing around with and trying to learn.

I’ve learned alot since my last line tool picture.

Goog stuff everyone.

dfist this one looks good. Just remember birdies face is more squished and his lips extensionsions bulge out in front of all features if put in profile.

star-interesting guy. Yeah your lines look more sophisticated than your previous works. Good action.

Overall good stuff.

StrangerToMe: Welcome to the challenge. Not a bad Vega you got there, and a pretty good Cody too. Looks like you a decent eye. My suggestions would be to try and do more planning and sketching before you finalize your lines. Plan out a drawing with basic shapes and forms, and then after you have those planned, then add details.

Switcher: Very creepy lookin Vega. Nice job. I think I would go one of two ways with the hatching that you are doing. Either spend more time on it so that it looks neater and more precise, or get rid of it all together and just use color to do the shadows. Right now it’s at kind of an awkward in between. Also, does he have too many fingers? How’d ya get that cool bloodsplatter effect for the BG? It looks real cool.

4neqs: Hehe, very funny sketch there. Sure, I’ll add both of your entries to the Mika gallery.

Bandit: Lol, is that Cody trying to pick up the knife with his feet? Pretty amusing. Watch your eyes here, they’re getting way close together. The Guy is great. Very cool dynamic pose. Hehe, you know I’ll forever be picking on you for line weights, but more variety would be good. :slight_smile: Also, try using more interesting shapes for your shadows and highlights that make sense with how the cloth flows on his legs. Having the highlight only just on the very top of his legs flattens it a bit.

DFist: Wonderful Adon. Gotta respect the Adon win pose. Nice muscles too and a great example of using reference to your benefit and making your own thing out of it. My main crit would be that his ass is looking just a little on the flat side, kinda like it’s pressed against some glass or something. I think a smoother value transition would help that. Awesome Cody too; very naturalistic, and a good use of toned a toned ground too. Not really a lot to crit about this sketch. Maybe the stripes could be more even? The Birdie is plain awesome. I think I like the non blurred version more. Even though the blue helps make it more dynamic, the pose you did does a great job of showing the action in itself, so I’d rather lose the blur and get to see your paining more. Hehe, everyone else is right about the mustache; it’s not quite a Birdie 'stache. His flares all the way to the side of his face and connects with his side burns. It would have been cool to see that chain in the pic too, but we all know chains are suck to draw, so it’s ok. Great stuff.

Dan: Haha, that’s quite some Mika there. Hehe, what happened to all the white on her outfit?

CptMunta: Nice job for your first digital only pic. :slight_smile: It will get easier with time, as your hand adjusts to the tablet and you get more familiar with how you can make it work with different brushes. I think a few more wrinkles here and there to show that she is wearing clothing would have been a nice touch. Doing clean inks in photoshop is something I never quite figured out, however. I hear painter has better tools for that. shrug

star: Cool Guy pic, and a pretty decent job with the muscles too. Hehe, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Guy happy before. I think slightly darker lines would look a bit better. Right now the linework is just a little too close to the fill color, so they tend to blend together a bit. Good lookin shoes too. I hate drawing shoes. Although, doesn’t he wear red shoes?

Here’s my Mika:

Doh! I couldn’t remember Guy’s some of guy’s costume. The comp i work on doesn’t have an internet connection and I’m to lazy to load up my games. I’ll fix it when I get a chance.

Heres the sketch I started to do and then quit because I’m just wasn’t interested anymore.

Concept was Vega ninja slapped Cammys phat ass. Seeing how as a doll she’s all serious she is all “OMG !” etc.

Huh? Wasn’t it Vega that gave her the scar in the first place? ;o

^ only in the Udon comic. IIRC according to SF canon, Bison (dictator) gave her the scar.

I’m really tired from work guys, not able to draw :frowning: but you’re all doing a great job.
I’ll post my comments later (probably late net week)

Wow. The artwork in here is just stunning. Keep it up, guys.

:pray:

We are not worthy.

Seriously, this picture is even better than your Cody; your Cody was visual euphoria.

I forgot, how did bison give her the scar?

CAMMY! heh, i really got ta get to work on that mika now! any crits are welcome with open arms.

Also, since i was such a PS noob im using a tutorial for colouring
Link
http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-lineart.html
I dunno if its not good, but if i should be doing something im not,:sweat: help please!
PS. Cpt, at the end of the link, it shows an easier way to colour lines(i think) ><

My Mika, based a little off some official art:

http://img497.imageshack.us/img497/6555/rmika8xt.jpg

Scar’s on the left cheek btw. As rook said, most of the correct character representations (Cammy’s scar, Sagat’s eyepatch and scar, Necro’s tattoos) are from the 2p side sprites. There’s something about the chest and feet in this one as well, I suppose you could make the feet larger and the torso shorter and smaller. Not bad for a start.

Here’s my mega late Guy:

Poor Sodom, This is my 2nd attempt at doing it all in computer. I starting to have more fun with my tablet now.

StrangerToMe: Cheers for the link to the tutorial man. I’ll give that method a try next time. I left a crit and a coloring tutorial in your Deviantart acc. Keeps on trucking.

Switcher: Nice Mika! Great detailing on her ruffles and stuff. I like how you do your backgrounds. Do you paint over a background capture from the game or use a Watercolor filter? It looks hot man!

Chainwhore:Good to see the white pen getting some mileage :slight_smile: Another great piece. really digging the angle and movement in this piece. Brilliant.

Dreaded Fist:That cody is rad. It’s cool to see winposes taken to a different style. Birdies looking choice. The motion blur is looking tops.

Cheers for the crits team.

Here is my early cam cam. Tired reply later.

Critique time from the sucky critic… :slight_smile:

ROOK: (Cammy) Fantastic pose… Love the face and shoulders and definitely the musculature in the legs… Dunno why I always notice legs… (Vega) Awesome, awesome Vega… The warm colours really complement his Spaniard character… I really like the way you colour as well…

D-FIST: (First Pic) Can’t see the image… :frowning: (Sakura) She’s not that bad… Very un-anime face, but you got her bubbly nature… Cute too… (Adon) I like the B&W one… I think B&W is underrated… :wink: But man, the coloured one is also really good… Nice going with the posture, hands, and back… Very nice indeed… (Cody) Verrrrry Coooool… I love the pose and his facial expression… In fact, I think it’s a brilliant pose!.. Though I’ve always wondered why Capcom gave him such long chains for his handcuffs… (Birdie) Wow man, you’re on a roll… As much as I like the blurred one, I’m leaning towards the unblurred pic 'cuz his face isn’t blurred as well… The expression is fantastic as well…

THE SWITCHER: (First Vega) Hehe… Almost didn’t recognice him if it weren’t for his snake tattoo… Hands, torso, and arms look fine and dandy to me… Head just need a bit of balancing… (haha! Look who’s talking; I’m bad at balancing heads too)… (Second Vega) Oooh… Much better… Good hands, nice mask, just the hair–I guess it needs more flow to it?.. :slight_smile: (R. Mika) I think I remember seeing that original pic you’re talking about… It’s the group pic right?.. It’s great… And Wow you got the stage all set up as well!..

SEAN CARLOS: You like it?.. Really?.. Haha… Thanx…

STAR 250: (Vega) First pic definitely… The second one’s a little hard to see… Definitely nice mood and unique minimalism style… (Guy) Oh yeah!.. I’m so loving the style… Very lean and crisp drawing… Even better with the muscle lines… Thumbs up!..

DR. SPROCTOR: (Cody) Dude!.. I like that Cody of yours… A little too blurry though… Colouring’s not bad either…

DanSC: (Cammy) Hehe… Head’s a little too small… (Vega) Creepiest Vega I’ve seen… LOL… (R. Mika) Haha… That’s actually a really nice face…

KANDOKEN: (Vega) DUUUUDE!!! That’s like so fantastic… I’ve always liked your facial expressions, but even with a mask, you can exude the character’s mood… That pic totally transcends off the page man!.. Shoulder’s a little too slouch, but I’m still looking at the awesome face, man… Can I get a picture of your hand with your autograph…?

CAPTMunta: (Vega) Nice!.. Hair just needs a bit more volume to it… You got some nice expressions on him… (R. Mika) Looks like Mika’s a bit too thin… :stuck_out_tongue: (Guy) Oh man… Poor Sodom…

CHAINWhore: (Vega) hehe… Very, very nice… Love the musculature, but your snake wraps around differently in his body… (R. Mika) Whoah, man… You really gave Mika a bubbly butt… I definitely like the pose…

BANDITChain360: Lol… What’s Cody doing?.. (Guy) The gestures are fine… Pretty cool actually…

SFMC: THUUUMBS UP!.. Dude, I really love this one… It’s so simple, very classy, and full of expression and mood all at the same time… Love the cropping, the lighting… It’s one perfect package!.. Seriously!.. What’s that written on the left though…

Whew!..

I think the two-week break is a good idea… Some people need to catch up you know… (like me… :D)

I’ve just been catching up with my movie-watching and book reading recently so I’m kinda really far behind…
