I like to pretend that one day The Space Ghost decided that flying around the cosmos hunting down bad guys was some b.s. and decided to quit. He did some stints on various sitcoms and tv shows in the late 80’s and 90’s. He then finally landed a gig as a talk show host on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network (Space Ghost Coast to Coast). Congrats Space Ghost!!!!!
The Space Ghost!
So Street Fighter is turning 25 (25th Anniversary!) and as a result Capcom is having a Street Fighter 25th anniversary contest where your art work can be featured. So I of course submitted work for it.
The two themes behind the contest were “I am a Street Fighter” or “Street Fighter 25”. So I went with the former for this one. I actually did it as an illustration first, but then decided to re-do it as a painting, because I realized that I had more time. Which was cool, so I was able to take my time and do a proper painting. As always, there are some things that I think worked for this, but as always anatomy continues to be a challenge. So, I will definitely be working on that.
At any rate, on to the next!

Here is the cover fort he MOCCA Fest Art book. Woo! The only thing missing is the book title, which is still to come. I will reveal the title in the next few weeks! Enjoy!
Ok, this week’s posts is Trojan. Now I already did this one, but as I have been learning and working, I like to go back and improve where I can. I did Trojan a while back but went back and did a rework, fixed the colors and some of the brush strokes, and so this version is way way way better.
Now that I fixed this, it’s going in the book. I think that this is the last one. Now I am going to move on to the book cover. Woot!

This week’s post is “Ring King” from the NES. I played this one a bit, but I did NOT play this one as much as I played Mike Tyson’s Punch Out (Ring King didn’t even come close). This one was especially difficult for me, because of the issues with anatomy. In addition I am finding that for some pieces, there is a discrepancy between the initial sketch (which I am pretty happy with) and the final execution. For example, you will note that the width of the character between the sketch and the final piece are dramatically different. This is because between the two, the tricky part is making the painting look convincing, while keeping the energy and dynamic action in the final painting. It’s tricky. So much so, that I had to start this one over at least 3 times. In the end though I like it, and it’s going to go in the book. After this one, I just have one more left to do, “Legend of Kage”, and then i’ll be done. Then it’s on to the cover, and the surrounding promotional materials.
p.s.
I love the fact that the game is tested and proven by Ray Leonard Jr.! What?!?!!?!?
