Is this the famous Joe NG? Thanks chief, you are an excellent draftsman! I love coloring up your work.

haha hardly famous and hardly a draftsman, but yeah, some of the ufs stuff can be pretty rough looking since they aren't supposed to be shown as big as people are seeing them here on dA lol

Well it's good to meet you man! Hopefully we can meet in person at one of the conventions someday...Can't wait to color up some more of your pencils, are you doing any of the line art for the big D&D order?

Akuma reminds me, with Sci-Fi Channel running the tv show on Ani-Monday, I'm still surprised every time I see him drawn in the background playing bit parts.

wow, this is awesome!
i wonder, is he angry about something or struggling to lift his gigantic necklace/ring of boulders? hehe jk
love the piece

Akuma is one of my favorite Street Fighters! You did an awesome job with him.

Awww, man.... I was so expecting to see a full Vegas Mike-style drawing of Akuma. Coloring kicks ass, though.

You have an approximate time for color completion?

HI, I think I spent about 4 hours on this...This isnt really the style they use I was just having some fun! What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Their colorists' styles are a bit more cel shaded within Udon, yes, but I don't believe that would cause anyone to particularly turn you down with how you approached it. Having fun is an important part of any art 
I had a chance to do some coloring for Dreamwave back when they were around. I'm sure if they really want you as a colorist, they'd most likely give you a sequential or two to show your skill on.

Thanks chief! I just did a more cel shaded version of Ryu I'll post soon...it only took about 2.5 hours. Thanks again for the feedback.

Weird necklace. It fits in with his overall theme (I.E. very huge) but it still seems out of place.

In regards to the beaded necklace:
"The Internet is a Series of n00bs."
1. VM didn't draw it.
2. The character is Akuma from the Street Fighter series, it's part of his concept. Removing the beads is not an option.
lololololol

Yeah those are prayer beads...I did some research on Akuma while working on this and those are actually the beads from his master whom he killed.

His brother actually (he's a bit of a bastard). If you can, pick up the Udon Street Fighter: The Ultimate Edition book as it has the whole first series of comics in it
