Description (...I was honoured)
2D Forever (It wants you to visit)

This is a speed-paint of Ryu, I had a simple idea in my head that had to get out. It was originally going to be Akuma, but then I've always preferred Evil Ryu, so it went down that route. As it came towards the end I took out all Evil Ryu elements to the piece as it just didn't need them - Ryu's damn cool as he is.

I decided to make it black and white with the red headband because of the special colour-creation modes on Capcom vs SNK. I always made Evil Ryu all black apart from the reds showing out - his eyes and headband were the only visible part to him. So the headband element stayed in here.

Colour inspiration can be found on my site

Such excellence in this creation. Truly, a portrait well fitting of one of the best fighters in gaming.

Very well done. Keep up the great work.

A truly and highly expressive piece of speed painting with the airbrush tool which has demonstrated just how talented you are as a digital artist and the qualities you can portray in something as simple as this. The use of greys with the addition of red have really made him feel eccentric and powerful in ways not imaginable, this is also because of your simple usage of shading applied to the flesh which brings it out.

Keep it up.

Once again thanks for the fantastic comment I like the thought of the red adding to the 'ower' of the character, as if it's singling him out to be something special (of which Ryu is!)

Always a pleasure. The red definitely makes him have the energy of being a great fighter. Let's just hop that Capcom keep that with him in the fourth instalment.
