Bonus Reward... RIKUO of DARKSTALKERS (2009)!
Added 2019-10-14 23:44:21 +0000 UTCHello, my friends...
I hope you're all doing great. This month's all-new color rewards are nearly ready to be rolled out, and I'll be posting new art very soon. While you wait, here's a fun BONUS REWARD blast from the past! A blast from 2009, in fact -- ten whole years ago!
Some of you may know that I'm a huge CAPCOM fan, and one of my fave classic games from them is DARKSTALKERS! My friend DINOSAURPRINCE is also a great big fan of the game, and of this character in particular. So for his birthday in 2009, I drew him my take on RIKUO.
Looking at this piece nowadays, there's still much I like about it, but there's also a lot I'd do differently if I were drawing it today. But for something that's now ten years old, I'm surprised at how much of it I don't hate. Lord knows I tend to dislike most of my older work, so it's nice that this one doesn't make me grit my teeth! LOL!
RIKUO has always been one of the franchise's most underrated characters, but I feel he's FABULOUS. He's loads of fun to play with, and, HELLO, he's buck-ass NAKED! So yeah, what's not to like?
Hope you enjoy this "classic" illustration, Guys... and like I said, more of this month's new art is coming up very shortly, so STAY TOONED!!
