Mini project "Re-covered" Street Fighter Alpha

The first piece of a new mini project entitled "Re-covered", which focuses on creating new covers for classic games on slightly obscure systems. the first system that the project will focus on is the Sega Saturn. I chose Street Fighter Alpha for the first cover to represent the Saturns wealth of 2D fighting games, in which the Saturn excelled. I took inspiration from the works of Capcom artist Shinkiro, whose work on the Capcom vs SNK series and other crossover games made their covers and posters standout amongst the crowd. I wanted to use Shinkiro's high contrast use of hot and cold colour palettes. 

The next game thats in the "Re-covered" series is the fighting game that the Sega Saturn is best known for: Virtua Fighter 2.

Pieces from the sketchbook

A quick update on project work (Communism and Space ships)

Three pieces from some current project work, the graphic Adobe Illustrator work is for a project about educating teens and young adults about communism history, having a really fun time working with graphic and simplified shapes as well as making hand made textures to incorporate into the pieces, with the "Communist Icons" pieces i'm focusing on a unity theme, graphically showing them being one part of a greater community. The Sputnik piece was interesting to work on because I wanted to make the piece less serious visually, by using a muted palette, bright colours and a aesthetic that suggests that the Earth and Sputnik are toys I feel like i've managed to add a lighter tone to the piece.

The space ship piece is part of an action sequence for another side project, working on capturing movement and action, hopefully the scene will come together once the sequence in complete and in an animatic.
