Description
リアン・ネヴィル(Lien Neville)
Mai's counterpart surely catches the attention of any snk player when you see the classic "Maximum Impact" intros. Unfortunately, her fighting style was kind of hard for me to get used to (well, yes, I am not really good at combos anyways) so I felt a bit dissapointed. Fighting games with no story or cinematics are really boring after a while and I really wished they could show some scenes showing MI characters' in action once you finished the game... or in the middle too.
As for Lien Neville, the number of useful references was kinda hard to find. I had to take a look at some shots from the game itself and the few official wallpapers or pictures from SNK. What I did was to pick up a very nice pose from a photo on the web which turned to be Emma Atkinson. I simply put all together hoping to do a decent job.
This is simply a photograph taken from my brothers' cellphone. Don't feel like scanning it now. Mine is too small. I used watercolours mixed with sanguine and pen.

Gracias! Sigo tratando de mejorar las poses... a veces quedan un poco estaticas(os) los personajes... Eres fanatico de la lucha libre?
Aun no he dibujado algun personaje de ese estilo...

So wait,she's supposed to be Mai's substitute in the game? What happened to Mai?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe I used the wrong word. She probably matches or even beats Mai in terms of "attributes". I think Mai also appears in that title [KOFMI 1] but the plot of the game is really boring [worse than plain]. That really got me dissapointed. I was really hoping to see lots of 3D sequences while you were beating the game or at the end... PSX titles couldn't afford that due to disk space and technology... but ps2... what happened? lol

Yeah..I really hope this would get remade or something. Lien is still hot.

Since I hate Mai so much since she's been trolling with me since the Fatal Fury 2 OVA,I'll pick Lien but!! However,she does kickass in the trailer of Fatal Fury "Premium" so I'll pick Mai because she's been listening to me.

Oh! I looked at the trailer of that Fatal Fury you mentioned (premium), but that's just a pachinko game? the fighting scenes looked nice... but that won't be available on a real game right?

It won't be available on a real game I'm afraid.

A pitty... the character design looked quite good...

If I ever visit Japan... I will try those Pachinko machines to see how funny they really are... lol

Go ahead. I'd liked to hear what you think.

I really wish I could have time to improve my poses... I always want to make them look more dynamic.
Thanks for your comment!

You know, Lein it´s pretty fearsome here. You got her personality too well (can say it for the look). I like more when characters fan arts are more dinamic as you say (like when they are fighing or doing something else aside fighting... like going to the beach...), but here Lien is good, even if she´s only posing. Gotta love Lien´s body XD. Sometimes I think some artists are too hard in themselves (like you here man), but this is pretty good and likeable. If you think you can improve this, that would be awesome, but in my list, this is good
Oh, btw. I didn't play KoF:MI too much, but I spent part of my life playing KoF:MI2 (or 2006) and Lien is pretty useful (aside from the fighing fan service of watching her fight) here. Not the most powerful, but with enterteining combos where she strangles or hit hard the opponent, keep one very interested.

Ah! She is an assassin so I had to make her look more like a villain...
- as for the poses, I just hope to find a moment in my life when I will spend some time learning all that stuff about muscles... bones... etc... not really fun to do... but necessary I guess...
-> As for KOF MI... what disssapointed me most... was the lack of a story/plot with cool cinematics (considering the possibilities of 3d design and ps2 capacities)... just playing and fighting because you have to... gets boring after a while...

dissapointed with story/plot and cinematics?
Definetely, you have to give a chance to KoF MI2.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did... and it seems there was not much difference... I wanted to see cool fighting scenes or anything like that... the final boss was really boring... nothing really interesting happened at the end...
But the fighting gameplay was surely nice... including the new characters...
(I missed Shingo!)

Really? Well, too bad. maybe it helped me that I didn´t play MI 1 XD.
The fighting scenarios,... well, threre wasn't that good, but I really liked the old ones tribute like the GHell's gate (geese Howard stage), Emperors Court (with Krauser there), and the thing with the floating Eye(Samurai Shodown 2 final stage) like example.
The final boss... well, really weird I admit. I like more badass bosses like Duke who fight to bare and pure fist. Even so, Jivatama was 'decent'. I love more the story wise intros and how somehow Jivatama talked a little about the characters (or funny moments, like Ryo Sakazaki XD).
Also a good detail for the special intros give a little life, and the challenges who was at least 10-15 mins fun. Well, see ya.
(Me too missed good ol Shingo)
