Howdy sunshine. So good to see you back around these parts. (suggestive wink)
I found these four images in one of my art folders. They were done in the span of a weekend, and wouldn't you know it; there appears to be a theme. All four images are portraits of some sort. Interesting. Also, they are of wildly different style. Very interesting. I should drink wine more regularly. Apparently it makes me all creative n' shit.
Anyway.
ARTS
LETS DO THIS THANG
---------------------------------
Bowsered
This started off as an attempt to do a realistic interpretation of Boswer. When I finished, I noticed that I had forgotten his horns. So I decided to go for broke and make it weird. Kind of fun to look at.
Rider
Marvel's been on my mind a lot lately, what with the announcement of a new chapter in a certain franchise that features Spider-Man's and Mega Man's. So, I found myself drawing Ghost Rider. Well, actually,
redesigning Ghost Rider. See, the way I see it, the living Spirit of Vengeance should be, you know,
scary. So, I put Ghost Rider in a mixer with a Cenobite, and this is the flavor of Margarita that came out.
Haggar Time
I'm not going to bother explaining this. It speaks for itself.
The Princess
This one is... interesting. It actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I'm actually really happy with it - a rarity when I talk about my own work. I'm thinking this might be the start of a series of character portraits in a similar style. What do you think?
-----------------------------
Alrighty, that's it. It's all over but the crying. Till next time,
Rambler's, keep ramblin'.

Close 2nd: "Rider"
And that Fire Breathing Zangief is my favorite of the ones in your "about me". Keep it up!
I swear, seeing the hair on Bowser made me think of Blanka at first. Dark and crazy, dig it. I never connected Ghost Rider to the world of Hellraiser, even though his penance stare would seem like something that would fit in that universe. Another cool piece. Haggar is always rad.
I really like the princess, I don't know if it's the way the triforce sets itself over the character or the simple blend of colors, but something about it makes it stick out. I've got an interest in seeing where you take this idea if you go with it, sir.

"Rider" is also AWESOME! (well, they all are... but that one is very finished ... I know, not an art term... but I'm not an art person, I just know what I like)
Nice work, man! I was just thinking of how I hadn't seen any of your art in a while. With the release of Super Street Fighter IV, will you be revisiting the New Challenger Series at some point?
Now it looks like I'm laughing then have suddenly been punched in the dick.
Re: "The Boob Situation" - The Princess is supposed to be from a slightly elevated perspective. She's slightly bent over, looking up. That may not have been communicated efficiently enough on my part. In any case, it was partially based on a reference image, so if perspective is not to blame for said boobs, there is a woman out there with a very interesting problem.
Also, we need more of your art. Particularly a "New Challengers" Vega, a revision of that awesome Dexter pic you did, and some MDK stuff drawn your way!
