Heya, Reinhold from FGE here. We are doing one of our "FGE Project" Rounds currently in the group, its an initiative to get many different fighting game characters drawn, especially those that are not so often illustrated. Hoped it could be interesting for you
If yes, just comment there
New FGE Project Round!This is a part of our long running FGE Project, a collaboration to get many different fighting game characters illustrated by group members since around 2012!
This time we have a list of 50 fighting game characters that are not a part of the project yet. They can be from an old or a new fighting game. You pick one of them and claim to draw the character in 4 weeks.
Like in the examples that are a part of our FGE Project since last year, no background is needed, but its up to you to add one if you like. Please use no simple white background though.
All submitted illustrations will be featured with a journal here and become a part of the FGE Project gallery that includes over 200 different video game characters from fighting games already.
Characters available this time:
Motaro (Mortal Kombat)
Sindel (Mortal Kombat)
Smoke (Mortal Kombat)
Kim Wu (Killer Instinct)
Spinal (Killer Instinct)
Craig Mar
Greets, Reinhold Hoffmann

You are ultimately so awesome! Love your arts! as Deydranos said, you should have more audience. There are soooo many hidden gems in here 0.0
p.s. I just found out about you from Eventhubs when I try to find someone else there lol

That really means a lot to me.
I've been down with the flu for four days now, and after the first day I joked that it was the longest I've been away from the pen in more than a year.
Three days in it started to get a bit scary. I know my own track-record when it comes to running, and just skipping a day is often enough for me to lose interest. I've been practicing really, really hard for almost two years now and thought that giving it some distance might blow up the bubble. Thankfully on the fourth day I sat down, pen in hand, eager to get started on this week's painting, and reading your comment only enhances this feeling.
Thank you.

Your paintings are great! You really deserve a much bigger audience than you have right now! You should try adding some of your work to groups, I'm certain more people would love to find you!
Keep up the good work, I'm really excited to see your progress, it's very inspiring

Wow, that's an extremely nice comment! Thank you .
I know that I should be doing more promoting, spending time on the social bit too, but I still feel like my main focus must be on improving my art.
It's probably a pipe-dream -- and not only a tad unrealistic -- but I'd rather have people come here because they saw something they liked, not because I shoved it in their face. That said there's obviously a balance to be had though, and right now I'm being too much of a recluse
I'll keep on trucking!

You're very welcome!
I've been in the exact same boat as you; unfortunately there's so many artists out there, you might go unnoticed - not because of a lack of skill, but because they don't even know you exist. I found you because you were in my "newest deviations" stack right at the start of the page, which requires a truckload of luck. Yet you have also made lovely fanart of Tekken characters and if you had posted them to like a Tekken fan group, I would've discovered (and watched!) you soooo much earlier. (That Alisa one is amazing by the way c: ) You're already miles above the average deviantartist, so IMHO, you're already attracting people because of your skill
TL;DR: You want people to come to your page because they saw something they liked... But how can they determine whether or not they like something, if they have never had the opportunity to see it?

Heh. Hence why I think that it's a balance.
You have to get lucky for sure, but you also need to have a product you can stand behind. I don't feel like I'm there yet, so right now that is my focus. I'll stay in my cocoon for a bit longer.

Thanks! I'm a big FG fan/player so that's a very distinct possibility.

Thank you! I'm doing my best -- no idea yet how long that will get me, but at least I'll be able to say that I tried.
