All digital painting - Photoshop.
Roughly 7 hours.
I've always loved Street Fighter. Akuma was probably my favorite character. Just so different from a lot of the other cookie cutter characters. There was a darkness in him that I hope to bring out. Went with a more finished look this time. Feels stiffer than the loose painterly lines.
Draft 1: Rough draft with a really large brush. Getting the general shapes in place. This guy has a weird face. His nose is huge and rectangular like a bar of soap.
Draft 2: Feeling out some of the important lines. Gah, the craziness!!
Draft 4: Refining the lines. Starting to look less weird.
Draft 5: Bam! The grey tones are starting to look right! Time for some color!!!
Draft 6: Finishing up the background and added some effects. Must have did something weird with the colors, he's looking a little like Lionel from the Thundercats.
