Description Speed-Paint: [link]

Righ's eyes deviate from the standard brown color I usually give him, his left eyes is blue and his right eye is green because this is his perfect synchronization form where Hikaru, Righ, and Lef are in perfect synch with each other.

I was very pleased today when Wil of *Doomsplosion told me he thought this image look really nice, I've pretty much idolized these guys since I met them at Animix, so it was nice to hear one of them liked my work.

Thanks go to all the groups that have accepted this into their galleries, over 1,000 views! That is about 100x the average amount of views I get per deviation of my original characters.

Semi-Impressionism, so if you see lines, they're most likely intentional. The giant swirl is obviously inspired by Street Fighter IV and Okami, but since SF4's style was inspired by Okami, it's mainly Okami, 8D.

Drawing ~Nattie-Chan 's character Isaac from the PKMN UBF so much made me remember my character Righ had an older design, this image was meant to be Righ when he was 35, but in my story he gets as old as 49 once the story begins to come to a close, this is the design for his 49 year old appearance. The 35 year old design was going to be photoshopped a long time ago, needless to say, I never got to finish it as I didn't like the way it was coming out, but I may finish it soon. This image is probably taking place about a week before Righ dies, he is 50 when he does.

35-year old sketch.


Because of how similar this image looks to me, think of this as a 2nd part of my previous "Stylish" image.

Wicked sense of motion and chaos, he looks like he's tired, poor chap.

Thanks, I wanted him to look like he's struggling in a fight, so I might actually need to add more details later on.
