I’m in too. As far as subject matter, I think with this being an “SRK” book, it should only be fighting games. It really makes no sense to do art for a game that is not fighting game relative. With this book I hope the goal would be partly to help promote SRK.com as THE fighting game site for everyone (and every fighting game).
I would be up for us doing this and also maybe we can add in Stick art too…?
lets get a good date for this. like mid summer. So there’s plenty of time to turn a quality piece. And while we’re at it, to make it interesting, lets give each person 1 page front and back. Front will be the illustration, and back will be the process.
Each person gets 1 sheet is what I should have said. That equals to two pages, on the front will be the final piece, and on the back will be the sketches that lead up to the final piece. If you’ve seen james jean’s process recess 2 book you’ll know what I mean.
Dreaded; I don’t think we should devote 2 pages for each artist. Keep in mind that each page is going to cost us money when its time to print, and increase the price of the book. I think we’d be better served following the Capcom Design Works formula where they have the image and below it is a quick paragraph where the artist discusses his/her inspiration. Here’s an example;
Also if you’re doing a simple image, you may end up sharing a page with someone else. However, you will be credited!
Oh, and one more thing, we should definitely take a vote on who gets the front and back cover illustration spot!
