Here comes a New Challenger! You must crush them! #SF6ArtContest2
--
Hey howdy! I drew 13 full size guys (burgers & fries) during June instead of doing a Pride Month Art Piece, woohoo!
I challenged myself to do some crazy poses or complicated costumes (that I simplified) and had a lot of fun with them! To be fair, I think they're all pretty solid aside from Cammy and Guile, but I enjoyed drawing them too.
Full versions of the art below the cut!
Now they're in the order that I made them in, not in the order I stuck them up above.
AKI, my beloved. Complex pose and her shading is a bit wonky, but I love her dearly. FANG is my main man in SFV (aside from Charlie, shocker, and Rashid, also shocker), so having her in SF6 is solid, especially since I can go bother Fang Fei whenever I want, lol.
My Turbulent Boy!!! I main Rashid, so naturally, I had to draw him. He's cute, y'know? I also love his style and vibes. Top tier dumbass streamer boy. <3
Cammy!! I have given her a Weird Looking Cat (Felicia from Darkstalkers) and mussed up her face, but I love her regardless.
JP!! I love a good villain, and JP is one of the best in Street Fighter. I mean, to be fair, most of the villains in SF are great, but JP is stellar in my opinion. I love a dapper and deadly dude, y'know?
It's ya boy, Jamie!! I spent WAY too much time on the sign and accidentally flattened the red of his outfit onto the line layer, but I think he looks good regardless. He feels like the kind of guy who'd hang off of a sign in China Town and keep an eye from up high, right?
ELENAAAAA!!! The beats in my head drawing her Costume 3 were strong, lol. I love her so much. Her positivity? Great. Her kit? Great. Her vibe? Great. Her outfit? Great. My skill at playing as her? Shit, but I'm working on it.
The lesser Charlie Nash, Guile! To be fair I made him skinnier - I work with enough Ripped Older Gents to know that the massive mass of muscle that Guile is will tone down in his later years and make him less of a meathouse and more of a toned figure, but I also can't draw thick muscles so I enjoyed drawing what my Sis called "twink Guile". His mug is a whole other story that I won't get into, though.
Peace out, nerds, it's M. Bison! You guys know that one meme image, right? I had to draw SF6 Bison as that meme because the guy's died how many times at this point and is still a villain of the series? Either way, I had fun drawing Bison. Love his vibes. Love a good villain. Love a good character arc too, and SF6 Bison is really interesting.
It's Mr. Smash Bros Himself, Ryu! I played more into Evil Ryu than actual SF6 Ryu, but again, I enjoyed it. His outfit 3 is so good too, and this pose allowed me to draw the back of it which is just MMM so good.
Mai! To be fair, I wasn't going to draw any of the SNK guys for the contest, but Mai's casual look on the character select made me want to. I made her look less "ooh sexy woman" and more "she's just vibing", and hey, I think she looks great!
Ed!! One of my other mains in SF6!! I love his outfit, I love that he plays Billiards, I love how he's kind of a dark protagonist yet somehow is still antagonistic, he's such a cool character. The guy's out here punching Neo Shadaloo as they keep trying to lump him in with them, and yet some of his win animations make you think he might be starting to lose it like JP. Bless.
MARISA! MARISA! MARISA! I am not immune to Hot Woman in Video Game, for your information, and Marisa fits the bill. Her suit is just so perfect, and I had a lot of fun with this angle. Fun fact! The little :3 smile was a mistake that I kept because it looked fun! Also... I didn't do her makeup. I tried to, but it looked off, so I deleted the layer and moved on. I might redo the makeup later and add it on, but that'd be outside the contest.
Oh jesus fuck. I've been playing FNAF:SotM a lot, and some of those mascot costumes are genuinely terrifying when they're chasing you. Blanka-Chan isn't that terrifying, but I wanted to press the vibe that it was WAY scarier than it actually was, and I think I pulled it off! Wall-Eyed Blanka-Chan is so good, lol. I did the shading differently on this than any of the others, AND forgot to colour in the suspender-clip thing, but I had fun. Also this made me laugh way too much when it wasn't shaded.
Doofy-lookin' fuck. Also here's a look at my actual drawing file for all of these guys. They're just slapped on top of each other, and I saved each out seperately as a .psd for the contest, just in case, but when the announce the winners I'll probably delete the duplicate .psd files and keep the above .clip file.
Do I think I'll get picked? No. Am I checking Twitter every day just in case? Perhaps. Once the contest is over, am I going to resume not posting on Twitter? Yes. I'm on Bluesky and Tumblr now, and I keep my twitter for posterity's sake and potentially the odd contest that requires it.
My favourites have to be Bison, AKI, Rashid, Ed, Ryu, and JP. Not to say I don't love them all, but those are my top picks personally and if I do get selected, I hope it's one of them being added to the game. <3
