My full Street Fighter Tribute piece.

To make this piece, I played Street Fighter Alpha 3 for an entire weekend, and literally would just pause it and draw key frames from the game. For most the characters, I already had specific poses in mind, but for some, I would just try different ones out. Cycling thru individual frames was actually a really inspiring and an insightful way to see really cool, stylized anatomy and different poses and thingz. Especially since they are Capcom-stylized poses, which are the best poses drawn ever by mankind.

Each character in this piece was drawn individually, then scanned, then colored individually, and placed all together. Deciding who goes where was basically random. I had some ideas, and some characters I wanted bigger than others (Blanka especially... tho he ended up getting covered up :[ ).

I had a blast making this piece, and I think it's an accurate representation of my pure love for this video game series. I challenge anyone to a match at Street Fighter, for serious.

I used the same method for this as my new DARKSTALKERS piece, except to the next level, which will appear in the Darkstalkers Tribute book. Once I'm able to, I'll probably sell 'em both as prints to whoever wants them.
