Udon does some of the best work I have ever seen. All of the artist that work on the comic are extremly great.
As the topic titles says, If Capcom ever makes Street Fighter 4, they need too get Udon to do the sprites. I am sure this has been discussed to the limit though, but I thought I would state my opinion anyway.
I know that Udon did the ending’s for CFE, maybe this will give Capcom a few ideas.
I’m sure if the artists at Udon wanted to be 2D-game animators, they would’ve pursued a career in that field instead. So unless Capcom decides to take over their comic distribution in the meantime, hell no.
Cosign.
They could do the in-game art, as well as the box art and the instruction manual art.
they can do concept art.
Concept art? C’mon lets leave that to Bengus. They’re freakin legends.
Udon + Bengus + Edayan + Akiman
That could be great!!
BTW, to be a good illustrator isn’t the same that to be a good animator. It’s too diferent.
No way, capcom artists are better. Udon’s just imitating capcom’s work anyway.
SF3 art best so far.
CVS2 is junk compared to it
Best thing said in the thread. Honestly Udon is comprised of a group of talented artists, but at least with the SF comic they ALL in some fashion are either imitating or inspired by Capcom artists. For them to actually delve into 2-D animation it not only requires the knowledge that they previously have but also would require knowledge of how to animate. Sequential Art and Animation though similar in a dimunitive sense, they are vastly different. If there was anyone who would be the one do anything like that out of Udon would be Arnold Tsang. Arnold Tsang by far is the most improved artist from Udon and he keeps getting better (which makes me so jealous to accomplish so much so young). But drawing sprites a long time moreso than most could imagine. If SF4 were to happen it would need to be after the SF comic was completed seeing that to create new sprites would take at least 2 years.
More importantly Capcom has the resources already to create new sprites- Ikeno,CRMK,Akiman,etc…why would Capcom as Udon to do sprites? IF anything Arnold Tsang could end up working for the art department, thats who I would pick. And as much as everyone wants Capcom to make a new 2d game they won’t. These threads and banter are pointless since Capcom is too afraid to try a new concept or new game because of how everyone stupidly chose not to like 3s because it was "too different’. Fuck scrubby people that don’t understand SF and cause these types of problems. If 3s made money here Capcom would’ve continued to use CPS III instead of that microwave bullshit NAOMI board, currently using Namco 246 (which doesn’t look much like any improvment). I’d rather them go back to CPS II at least they’re games actually looked like they did work. 2d is dying because ass-tards don’t know how to appreciate 2d artwork. It has to be “3d in your face action”…I hate the gaming generation of today.
I think what this guy is trying to say is that he wants Udon to do the CHARACTER Designs not the animations. Maybe having a bearded long haired, white eyed, Ryu wearing Gouken’s Beads? Short haired Soccor dad Ken?
Nice thoughts i would love to see that too. Udon are great artist but the make comic books not game sprites. I highly doubt they will end there comic book career to do game sprites. Great idea though.
Does anybody know who does the key animations for the sprites? I know CRMK and AKIMAN have done model sheets for Vampire and Street Fighter 3 so I’m assuming they have done the key animations also. (?)
