I did this for the up and coming Street Fighter Tribute art book from Udon! [link]
When Street Fighter 2 first came to the arcades I was just a young boy. At the time it was the coolest game ever made...crowds would gather around to watch and play! I remember riding my bike for miles to the local QuickTrip so I could spend time with it. I have fond memories of hours spent in the gas station with microwave burritos and Blanka. He was my favorite by far, out of a cast of humans he was the only real "monster". For a beginner he was my first choice, I loved his devastating heavy attacks and his special moves were so easy to pull off, all you have to do is tap the button fast for lightning?! I wanted to capture Blanka's animal ferocity and power with this piece...Posters will be available soon. I also want to invite anyone who can make it to the San Diego ComicCon at the end of July, my first con! I'll be at the Udon booth.

if it's not to much to pry, can i ask how you got the ink stroke effect?

~VegasMike Aug 12, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Some of the brushes in Photoshop have a ink brush effect...that and you can scan in real brushstrokes as well.

Awesome! This pic is actually on one of the last pages of the Street Fighter 4 booklet.

I know I was so pumped to see that! Fun game!

My first fighter character ever!

Blanka is still the best after all those years.

I think perfectly captured the feriosity of this fantastiuc beast. Great job.
