Playing with my SFV Sakura concept and some new custom brushes!

You can check my original Sakura concept here. In the time since Street Fighter V was released, the initial story mode that was included with the game gave some clues as to the place this installment took within the timeline. One thing that was shown (slight spoiler) in Karin's story was that Sakura was still being depicted as a student, meaning that she's not that much older than when we last saw her in SFIV. To account for that, I replaced her denim shorts with her school bloomers, while the rest of her outfit is largely unchanged.

I tend to like a sketchy or painterly look when it comes to art, and it's fun to experiment with textured brushes. I used a new set I made with a grainy texture, which I used to sketch up the character, as well as do the coloring. The black and white version of this turned out much better than I expected, so I may use that style for future sketch commissions.
