Description Oh hey, haven't seen these guys in a while.

I dunno, I just suddenly felt like I should do something with my characters a couple weeks ago. Well... around August 14th, according to the file :I
I blame Batman for the ridiculous super hero-esque composition. I watched the old Tim Burton movies with my mum right before drawing this. So yeah.

I don't really know whats going on with these guys anymore, tbh. I don't really have the time to be thinking about all the things I need to change about them and their stories, anyway... Shuri's the only one who has actually gotten some revamping done already, as you may be able to see. The other three don't need too much, even if their outfits are kind of silly.

And yeah, there's probably a ton wrong with this picture from anatomy to perspective, but... meh. Don't care.

I saw this and I was like,"Hooo, boy, these guys are old now."
And very surprised to see you draw them, too. xD

The background is great and definitely puts emphasis on the boys, though the one that stands out the most to me is Shuri. I don't mean to say anything bad about the others, but his newer design looks the best. xD
It seems like you put more time into him than the others. Slash just kinda looks like he was added in last minute.

Yeahhh xD I'll never let them go, though :I they be mah bebehs.

Ahaha, no worries, I think the same thing xD I dunno what it is, but his design just seems like so many steps ahead of the others. Like they've all got kind of cartoony, brightly coloured stuff, and even though Shuri's jacket is kinda brightly coloured, it seems completely different. Problem is, I don't really want to change Wish or Saber's outfits :I Slash's, maybe. I still really like Wish's, even if it is a little weird, and Saber's still works enough that it doesn't feel like it needs to be changed. Maybe toned down a bit... I dunno. I did try changing the colour of Wish's outfit a couple times, but... I dunno. Red feels overused, but it's so hard to change e__e
After I drew Shuri, I was really tempted to redraw all the others with better outfits... but that's too much work xD I think the most time went into Wish, but I can see how you'd think that. Slash mostly looks like that, I think, because he's so small and his outfit is so simple.

While Slash was my favourite, I think he could use a bit of a tune-up. xD

I really think it would be worthwhile if you took a little bit of your free time to just design random outfits for the boys. Even if you don't wind up changing them in the end, you might find something that you'd actually want to include as an alternate outfit if you ever needed to, or to practice character continuity or just different styles of clothing for other characters. Play around with colours, too. Just for practice, if anything.
This would help if you ever wanted to get into character design for gaming companies, which may be something you'd want to do some day.

Same here. But all you need to do it read the summary, if you don't have time and want to get the basics of it down. The summary starts on page 163. And its a lot shorter.

So I'm checking my email, pretty boring day and was thinking of watching Legally Blonde 2 and generally being depressed until my crush comes on(Oh god...)

Then this was all BAM! Epicness in the face!

Honestly this shows how you've improved in every aspect, especially over the years. Look at the lighting, hair, the fact that you can do these epic hero poses without making them look funny. I love the softness of the simple background, it really makes your amazing characters stand out and look even more epic.

I especially seen the improvement on Wish and Shuri...holy shit have they evolved even if Wish is only simply. Honestly I would say more but I'm just blown away about how much you've grown in the last year with your art.

Fffff thank yooou ;-;
Shuri's changed a fair bit, yeah, and Wish has in small ways... the other two, not so much xD

haha your very welcome hun~<3

Saber and Slash aren't exactly your favorites so of course not...

I wonder if I could get a buddy to texture edit a female brother into one of the games...haha that would be too amazing to see it in FMVs...but alas..I would have to ask someone and then ask Wizard to make it work on my computer since XP pro is a bitch and won't load modded files for RE5.

Still a Female Shuri over Jill or a Wish over Sheva could be amusing.

Would take some convincing lol...for Satyr(Though it would be a RE4 edit) to do it it would have to be a really badass male or a sexy as fuck female with a nice ass(Okay they don't have to have a nice one, he just always makes them sexy XD)

and for a RE5 Texture edit...I'd hate to ask Wizard since he's always busy...sadly I'm not sure who to ask when it comes to RE5
