This thing is so far beyond brilliant ...

JCVD Teaser | JCVD Trailer

Watch both if you have time, but the teaser is way better than the trailer. Last time i cared about this guy must have been like fifteen years ago. Can't believe i'm excited about seeing this.

Kind of helluva random but my little sister painted this (irl) and submitted it as a t-shirt design:

Lady Sings The Blues

If you like it, vote or something. But if you need to create an account and it's too much work, don't worry about it.

Hmm I think I will create an account there later so I can vote on it (yeah you need one to vote).

Here's another lady singing the blues you can send to her as a ghetto response. Though I didn't paint it irl, it's digital art.

Nice, i'll show it to her. I'm sure she'll dig it. I have no idea how that website works or how many votes it takes to get a shirt made, but thanks for helping us out. It would be cool if it happened.

In other news, some guy made cell-shaded 3D models of Ryu and Akuma and had them fight for 30 seconds:

Hah, these are entertaining: Simpsons-style sprites (especially Wolverine, Sonic, Yun/Yang, and Dio)

Zelda artwork

The artist is Katsuya Terada. Probably best known in the west for his CGI and character design done for the anime film; Blood: The Last Vampire.

That is dope. Did you get him to sketch it for you at a convention or something?

Btw, is there a way to contact someone on deviantArt? I'm trying to reach this guy but i don't have an account.

No it's in this book I have called Rakugaki King. Rakukagi loosely translates to sketch... It's like 1001 pages of his sketches. Pretty dope.

I'm pretty sure short of randomly finding his email on some other forum you have to be a member to contact him.

Another fan-made track from Kariu

- "What i think Gouki/Akumas SF4 theme should sound like"

I definitely like it. Though I think SedukTriss is still my favorite of his.

I'm really surprised he has so few subscribers, he's really pretty good and keeps pumping out new shit on his page all the time.

I read comics on and off; usually Marvel. There was this three-part Fantastic Four story a couple months back, where Dr. Doom travels back in time to convince the FF that Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) is evil. All in all, it was pretty mediocre and they played it too safe with the ending. But the first few pages of the third issue were absolutely brilliantly written - in particular the "or it would, if you didn't know" line. Check 'em out if you have a minute:

First Look: Fantastic Four #553

That website previews the first five pages of a ton of comics the week before they're released.

So, for a very long time I've wanted to create a character. Not necessarily for any particular project or reason, and not even necessarily for a genre of game that I even play or would want to play. I just wanted to create some standard items that are necessary in order to flesh out a character, namely: portrait, char sprites, effect sprites, char bio. Voice samples I know I could not do, so I automatically omit those. My intention is to make them have enough content that I could look at them and pretend they were real characters in a real game.

So, I started.

This is a work in progress of his character portrait. Some modifications will be added. I intend to add his right hand to the left side of the portrait, in a Magneto "feel my wrath" supine grip pose, with some lighting effects (hence the light source).

I've also threw together some really really rough sprites for him. Heavy modifications will also be done to these. Fortunately, due to the way I have chosen to animate them, I can modify a single frame and all other frames will be adjusted automatically, much like a 3D model. Thus, I can add some minor shading, some texture, and fix his face and hands at a later time with minimal effort. That post also contains some of the effect sprites I had in mind.

Then this post contains a general outline for his char bio. The only modifications to this would be to add and not to change, with the exception of the move names which could be changed to compensate/reflect the actual moves he is(would-be) given.

When I finish his character portrait though, I will feel that I've completed him enough to satisfy my own interests. Therefor, I will move on to the next character or abandon the project, depending on how I randomly feel about it (spoiler: the next char I have outlined will be a girl from the same school as him).

Stay tuned for details regarding an entirely different project by Blip.

Ok, screw the details regarding Blip's project. Here's a video!

Deduce whatever kind of conclusions you want. ;)

Whoa, crazy. Is he making a Final Fantasy Tactics game using Quake models or something? How many people are working together on this?

Holy crap, i can't believe someone actually made this website. The 3D section is nothing but elaborately arranged in-game screenshots of various characters in compromising situations. Way back in the day, sicdic joked about making videos of stuff like this. I'm glad he never got around to it though, cuz being his friend and all i probably would have had to help. That sort of thing is blackmail material for years.

Im not trying to insult your integrity or anything, but how do you find these sites?

It was all sorts of random actually. I clicked on the SC4 thread on SRK cuz the thread title said something about a new character. The first post was edited with a link to a post down the thread which direct linked to an image of a newly revealed character which turned out to be 404 which automatically redirected back to the index. So it was a four-step dumb luck process.

Work in progress Kevin Ryan sketch. I'm thinking I want to pair him with B.Jenet. I have a nice pose for her in mind.

[Edit]: Paired.

[Edit2]: Finished coloring Jenet. Refresh the "Paired" link.

Okay, so I finally broke and made an art blog: http://xenozipart.blogspot.com/

Now I can stop pestering people about individual works.

Cool, i dig your rendition of that Milla hooker who keeps making the same movie over and over again. Especially the angle you picked and the way you got the hair to match it.

Is this something you're aspiring to do professionally?

Thanks.

As a job, not really. There is a certain skill level I want to get to, but I don't have any goals/plans outside of that, and I probably won't go to school for it either.

Guess Capcom is releasing another XBLA 3D HD remake of a classic arcade vertical shooter by the name of 1942: Joint Strike.

But this time it involves crazy Cammy pin-up artwork on a shirt. How weird is that?
