TMNT

2010-07-09T18:14:00.000-07:00

I picked up a reprint of original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle #1 comic a few weeks ago, it's a classic. It was darker and bloodier than I remember with a heavier tone than all TMNT the cartoons and movies I grew up with. I got inspired to do this pic of angry Leo in red. Thank you Eastman and Laird!

Marvel vs Capcom 3

2010-06-23T23:54:00.000-07:00

I got a chance to play Marvel vs Capcom 3 last week at E3 and a big part of me missed the over-the-top 2D Wolverine animation. I can't wait for the finished game. Here is my MvC3 Wolverine in HD 2d.

FINAL FIGHT COMING TO XBOX 360

2009-12-10T12:39:00.000-08:00

This piece was inspired by the announcement that Capcom is releasing Final Fight for download on the Xbox 360. Sadly its going to be the old pixelated graphics, but its still cool. I hope they do a HD version someday.
http://kotaku.com/5415833//gallery/gallery/1

When doing research for this piece I found an old Street Fighter Cartoon, in this episode they go through the plot of Final Fight.
