Well, if everyone else is doing it.....then I guess I'll post mine, too. This is my contribution to the Street Fighter Tribute Book that is being sold online and at this years SDCC.

This here piece of artwork, though simple in appearance, was especially hard for me. The deadline was quick, I really don't know too much about the individual characters of street fighter, and at the time I was doing this, I was suffering from my worst case of artist's block in years. It was taking me way too long to figure out who I wanted to draw for this, and I kept trying to do way too ambitious compositions with way too many characters while knowing full well that I wouldn't have the time outside of work to draw and color a piece like that well enough to want it to be published in any book that a large audience would see.

SO, I started by looking through my Capcom artbook and picking out one of the less popular characters. I figured everyone else would be doing Ryu, Ken and Chun Li. I picked this Karin, girl. I was just an added bonus that she was Sakura's rival....and I don't much like Sakura. No real reason why, I just don't. So I made Karin beating the snot out of Sakura in a schoolyard fight.

My pretty little boy toy did me a huge favor by coloring it for me, and the background kids were a last minute addition after I was unhappy with my overall composition. So, if you're still reading after all that, I hope you like it. If you don't..... you can suck it.
