Well, another contest. This time it's coloring Final Fight Double Impact by

Earlier in the month I had finished a couple freelance jobs and I was waiting to see if there was going to be any revisions, in the mean time I wanted something to do. so I decided to Paint this.

I wanted it to be a straight painting, a no frills digital paint job, no glows, screen effects no overlays. just 3 layers line art color and flats. It's probably just me but a lot of color work out there is shining, glowing or burned and I just felt this piece didn't need that. Originally, I wanted a kind of arcade box texture in the background and a stincker effect on the image. But In the end it was distracting so I removed it.

Visually I wanted to build a separation between the two sides. I painted each side with different light sources and in different color palettes.

The Final Fight game in general has a much cooler palette, lots of blues and such. So I decided to paint that side color to reflect the game. I also went back to the original colors of the characters. Cody's hair is more orange than blond, guy's Gi is more of a rust color and Andor's outfit was red.

Magic Sword was a more of a warm game lots of candle light and earthy colored backgrounds. So I painted the Magic sword side to reflect that. The biggest issue with the magic sword side is that there is little to no reference on the game. i was resourceful though and found reference on all the characters shown weather it was a sprite or the painting by Akiman.

In the end I really don't care if I win the contest it was fun to to just paint this. Probably the only time I'll ever get to work on something by Alvin Lee. But who knows.

Cheers Folks,
