Im all capcomed out of it at the moment. Got my hands on an Xbox, Street Fighter 4 and Resident Evil 5 about a week ago so by day Im drawing and by night im shooting zombies and shoryukening it up. I actually remember as a kid staring for hours at the first drawing of Street Fighter 2 I saw. Since then the art for the games has always been phenominal. I love the style of the new game with the Giant hands and muscles, and especially the promo art where it looks like a master of Japanese Kanjii art went over the already stellar illustrations. For this piece I was gonna try and recreate the effect but about half ways through I decided to go down a slightly different path.
PS, did any one see that they made M. Bison Irish in the new Street Fighter Movie... Nuts

DEADLY. I love this style Will, it's more gritty without being grit-tay like that one trick pony Dec. I think we should all do a week of computer game characters. I love Mega Man.
New SF movie sounds weird but good
I'm up for Games characters! Bagsy Solid Snake(titter).
Yeah this is workin for you Will, looks a lot more 'organic' if you will. Is it actually traditionally done on paper or something? Definitely seems a little more alive in some sense.
Either way, I really like it.
Agreed Mooney. I 'have to admit' i prefer this to all your other sketches. The white highlights are nice. Very different for you. Would like to see you do more.
I heard the new SF movie is terrrrrrrible. Bison was born in Ireland apparently, then moved to Japan as a child, raised there all his life, yet still has an Irish accent (!?). Plus i hear there's no actual street-fighting.
Anyhoo, great sketch Will.
Really like the textured background to this, very nice. Damn you Bob, Mega Man's the best (God I loved Mega Man 2). I'll go with Tetris instead, should make for an easy sketch.
Trivia: Daigo Ikeno provided the brush-marked character designs for SFIV; I want to buy that game soon, and I already miss Raul Julia. :(
A video game art challenge would sound awesome; ever see the work from the i-am-8-bit gallery? There's examples here from the latest one: http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/iam8bit-08/ It's very inspired stuff. :)
Daigo Ikeno, hes a talented bastard. Some great stuff there on the 8 - bit site. Love that painting of Link.
Dec How in the name of God have you seen the Chun Li Movie? I fired it on while doing the pic. I love how they needed a nationality for a Shadaloo Terrorist and just decided to make him Irish to add a bit of apparent credability to it. I didnt last past the first 15 minutes though. You should check out the anime movie. All Street fighting, no plot. Perfect
Irish Bison,WHAT?
This looks great. The whites are a great touch.
Will - be sure to check out the next eight/nine pages of pics! There's hundreds of paintings and fings there.

Yeah I had a good long look through them. Im as much of a fan of gaming art as I am for comic book art. Cheers for the link Leeann.
Cheers Charco.
video games aside,any chance of some miracleman-themed artwork?
cheers,
jamie.
One of your best Will, keep'em coming.

And the animated movie had a great plot. It was about Guile being a unless characther.
