Description
Mr. Big from King of Fighters and the boss from Art of Fighting.Mr. Big is such an interesting character, when I first saw him in Art of Fighting I thought he felt sorta cliche, but when he finally made his way over to KOF he really felt unique because he is one of the only characters to use weapons. He is also really unique amongst the other bosses of SNK fighting games. If you look at most of SNK's boss characters, they are all god like in power, but Mr. Big has no special abilities or is overpowered, he is just a really solid fighter, and I respect that.
I think this is definitely one character SNK needs to bring back with a new hi-res sprite. If they can bring back Hwa Jai in KOF XIII, then I think Mr. Big is a prime candidate as well.
The REDUX is not a huge departure from the original, I made his outfit to be a little more fighter friendly than the full suit he normally wears, no reason you can't look good AND fight comfortably at the same time.

Mr. Big is such an underrated character in the series. I really hope they bring him back in a new game soon. As for this "REDUX," it's pretty good, though I think removing his traditional coat was a bit much. He does look a little more fight ready, but he loses a bit of the charm he originally had. When you see him in the original, you can distinctly see that he's a crime boss, and also happens to be a martial artist. This version looks more like a street brawler who happens to be a crime boss. Also, I just can't see his intro where he has a woman in each arm with this design. Nonetheless, a great re-imagining of the character.

It'd be a nice alternate outfit for him in the KOF universe!

Ah Mr.Big, he was that one character I could choose against my friends to genuinely piss them off ; ) They gave him the nickname "Mr.Bitches" because one he always had his girls hanging off him like a boss, and because they thought he was a bitch to kill haha. Forgive me for this critique, it may get a little mean, PLEASE FORGIVE ME 
Alright this one I have a bit more to say then I did about Krizalid. First off: Where'd the mink coat go?! It's really what made Mr.Big who he was! That made me a little sad. I understand wanting to give him a fresh look, but removing the coat in my opinion was a bit much. It is nice to see his ripped arms showing that he did have force behind his hits, but I don't think sacrificing the coat was good, sorry. I like the shades update, that was a nice change from the stunner shades; He really needed that. I think if you kept the sleeves on the jacket, it would have flown a heck of a lot better. Thank you for leaving the scarf, that was another one of this Mr.Big must haves. I like his new shirt, it's very stylish and has more of that pimp look that he originally had. It definitely adds to the style that he lovingly flaunts to all the ladies out there. The pants are good too, but I don't think they should've gone into the boots, that hurts the design a little. I do like how the overall outfit is more fighter friendly, but that's what made his original character awesome, he said "I don't even need to remove the coat to beat your ass!" 
Overall Rating: B-
Analysis. I think if you can come up with a design with coat as well as one without it, it will really bring this design to life. At first glance it may look frustrating to the hardcore KoF fan, but if they can give it a little thought and a decent imagination, it's not to shabby. Again I say make a design with the coat and then show this one, you'll be good to go on the design. I can imagine him fighting in the coat, then getting angry at his opponent and tossing it off into the wind, ready to beat some asses!

Gotta say, I was never a fan of Mr. Big. I'm shocked he's still alive after taking a shot at Geese back in '96. Still, good work as always.

Maybe he'll be in KoF XIII on console. He and Whip will join Billy Kane's team and make it a team of people with weapons... : D

Is it just me or Mr Big could be the long lost brother of Bayonetta's Rodin? He is more of a P.I.MP. that 50 Cent. He,Whip,Billy, and Elizabet are the only KOF fighters that use weapons.
Oh as for the drawing,you rock dude. If there is one thing I can't complain about this pimp,he sure knows how to dress himself. I only hope that KOFXIII doesn't suck
