My Short Comics & Fan arts

[Sanjuro gaudiamo]

Hi

I'm a freelance visualizer I've been drawing professionally since mid 90's. Mostly I did storyboards, posters & other advertising-related stuffs

I did however start working professionally as artist in a small comic studio which was the best experience of my live. After the studio closed I never work in a comic book industry again since there isn't any future of it(at least for local creators) in my country. Later I did create my own comics but only for fun & never got to see them finished nor published. You can check out my non-work-related arts at http://gaudiamo.deviantart.com/gallery/

Recently I was encouraged by a fellow artist to start drawing comic pages again. My schedule won't allow me to produce ongoing series so I decide to make short comics

Enjoy

Originally I wanted to make a Street fighter fanfic.
Later since I decided to do short comics all I can think of was making a parody of fighting games by adding some elements from Tekken & mortal kombat.

ROUND2

At first I wanted to create AKUMA/GOUKI type of character as Ryujin's opponent
But I decided to make something new & less serious. Demon Bear inspired from Tekken's KUMA. And of course it would be funny to add AKUMA's element as well since they have almost the same name. The name GOUKUMA crossed my mind but I decided to use something different

this looks awesome.
the only critique i have is that it's spelled "seclusion".
other than that, i totally dig it.

Do you have any idea how amazing your comic has to be to get a compliment from rkarl05? I've gotta say, other than the aforemented, I don't see any flaws at all! This is great!

Practice your foot anatomy. Some of the panels with Ryu's feet are awful/impossible.

As for nitpicking goes, I'm not a fan of that first page, probably because of all the heavy use of close-ups. Two panels solely dedicated to a punching hand/kicking foot is kind of blah and doesn't work well, storytelling wise. If I didn't know English, I would have no idea what was going on in that page. The training montage panel in the second page works much better, however.

Really? I think my foot anatomy is actually possible. And it's Ryujin not Ryu

Even in kicks, these feet are not natural.

Your work is very good. I do have to agree, however, with Kupocake. Some of the feet in there are wonky. ...and she showed where as I was typing this post. Thanks for saving me the effort, Kupo!

They may seem unatural to you but they are not. The technique in the smaller pic is called ashi gatana or Foot blade, a Karate kick where the point of strike is the outer edge of the foot. The curling toes in the bigger pic is a technique used to minimize injuries to your toes when you kick something/someone
