Description Mr. Karate, from SNK's Art of Fighting.

I made it for the Boss Tribute Project on FGE and Game Art HQ. I saw the project and decided to join. You can find the links to the side. There are still plenty of bosses to choose from.

I never drew Mr. Karate, or Kruaser, before so I stepped up to draw them. I have drawn Rugal before, but all the drawings were not very good.

Another reason is I wanted to test out that method I used on the Lady Deadpool painting I made again. No color flats, just color layer over a white background.

I have been going to Akiman's HP and noticing that he gets the roughs down then just refines them. That has lead me to try this.

It works very well, and stops me from doubting myself so much.

I always take extra care with each line as if I can't erase it. I have been sketching the strucure of my characters for around 10 years before inking/ finalizing my lines.
Yet I am growing tired of the process being so drawn out.

When I was growing up, all the way through my 11th grade of High School. I would get so many drawings done in such a short amount of time. Now I hardly finish 1 a month.

So I am trying to find a new process that keeps everything I have learned, but gives me back the speed I lost.

That way I can get more work done for my clients faster.

Hello Jared, i updated the Boss Tribute`s website today and uploaded your entry [link] i think it looks really great and it is good you wrote something about the picture, that gives it more personality on the gallery and makes it more interesting to visit your profile too i bet

Greets, it is cool you participated in the project!

of course not it is only on the Boss Tribute Gallery of Mr Karate [link]

The fana rts in all the different character galleries there are by the around 60 artists i asked personally for their permission to use their works, if i would use the boss tribute project entries now on the other character related galleries it would be something i didnt announce and think it would be unfair to the artists since i didnt ask them for that, beside that it would be uncool to have the same pictures multiple times on the website or? The Boss Tribute entries and the whole project is something special which i dont want to mix with the rest of the site

another question, would you like to see your works on GA-HQ?

Great work- the energy in this pic is tremendous. Lively and action-packed, he certainly looks as tough as he is! Great work on that form and pose, and the colors and shading are solid.

Trying different technique tricks is a great way to learn and grow- it's good to hear that you're finding new systems to experiment with.

Thank you for the great comments!
I have yet to settle for one way of doing things.
I will continue to study and improve my art.

This is really cool! I love the way you coloured this- that Lady Deadpool was so neat!
And hey, anything that stops you from self-doubt is a very good thing indeed.

Holy shit, he actually opened his mouth for once in his life.

jaredjlee In reply to MotorRoach [2011-12-02 02:10:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I was wondering if I should have his mouth open or not. It being a sak and all. I looked through some pictures of Mr. Karate and I noticed in SVC choas his mask would slightly change facial expressions. Then I found a picture from the SVC chaos comic where his mouth was open. That was enough for me to just go for it.

That is wonderful. He looks really powerful and intimidating, like he did in SVC Chaos.

I thought about using has look from AoF, but I love the main of hair he has in CvS chaos. That beat out the ripped sleaves.

pretty much him and King were the pain in the ass in that game.
I 'member you had you taunt King till her energy bar was empty, you'd take few hits first but when she stopped throwing her projectiles she was a world easier, other guys weren't as bad as those two once you knew how to attack them.
