New STREET FIGHTER IV character, El Fuerte!



Aw yea. Lucha Libre fighting all up in STREET FIGHTER, the best game by the best company suited to bringing this amazing unique fighting style to LYFFEE. I am stoked. I love the character design, too. Serious potential! This game has me coolin'. I can't stop playing it on Jacob's Xbox Live account because of it. If you run into "Aalipop" on there, that's me.

Someone asked in my last post, since I claim now to have worked for Sega, Konami, etc, what exactly I did for them. I may have posted these drawings on my LJ before, but in case not:

First, I worked on a pitch for a new Jet Grind Radio game for the Wii:


Second, I worked on a pitch for a Castlevania cartoon:


Both projects were through 3rd party developers, but they were still technically "for" the major companies. I even got to meet with the Castlevania creator at Comic-Con '06. It was wayyyy awesome. The meeting mostly covered story & plot ideas, and when they got to the art part, it was just a very brief "The art's good." and moved on. ha ha.

This kind of work, and a lot more stuff I did for Hasbro, Gain, etc, has been a big part of why comics has taken me so long the last couple years. I like to try everything out. I don't consider myself a comic artist only. Hence my current T-shirt obsession.

There was a lot more art produced for both of these pitches.
