Nakky's blog for Friday Oct 16th: Character's protrait

Thanx to gigsaw we have a full translation of today's blpog post:

Character Select unveiling

Hello everyone!
It's really starting to getting cold these days, huh... Halloween is coming up, so I'm looking forward to some pumpkin-based food and sweets. I could really go for some fried oyster!

Anyway, regarding the new characters in SSF4, we've already announced the trio of Dee Jay, Hawk and Juri, but there'll be more! Ono said something like "we want to include 8 characters", in interviews, after all. B-but, can we pull that off?

Speaking of adding characters, the team of designers are currently hard at work drawing new Character Select illustrations! So today, hot off the presses, is Dee Jay's Character Select portrait!

The Character Select illustrations aren't drawn by hand completely from scratch, they're in fact retouched screenshots of the actual game models.

The first step is to find poses that would fit the Character Select screen, and take lots and lots of shots!

Candidate shots like these ones are then handed in to the chief designer. The chief designer then goes through the pictures until he has a revelation, like "This one! This is it!", and then he goes to work on painting over the chosen picture.

This is the picture that was chosen with a little divine help. And in the end, it evolved into these two pictures! Wait, two?

Oh, they're different! They look almost the same, but they really are different!!

So... what's going on? For some reason, there are now two illustrations of Dee Jay. (Actually, the reason is that the final picture hasn't been decided on yet.) Which one do you guys prefer??

So using this process, Character Select illustrations are created for all the characters. And while I'm at it, I thought I'd show the illustrations for T. Hawk and Juri. Here they are!

Cool, huh?
T. Hawk looking like he's trying to keep a lid on that kind and powerful determination of his...
Juri's coldhearted eyes and sly smile...

And right now, as I'm writing this, the team is working diligently on the rest of the portraits!! For those guys and girls you don't know about yet, too... He he he. They will be announced successively, so stay tuned!!

OK everyone, maybe you'll get to see something next week too?!
Absolutely!!!

why do they always draw people with no eyebrows?

Nando said...

This is way fricking cool. I love these behind-the-scenes things especially when it comes to designing in-game art.

Love it.

Nice nice nice. And dang, Juri is reeeeeeally hot. Her chest peice bearly covers her chest.

asura said...

That's great news. I'm liking Dee Jay a lot!
However, how can they be drawing currently the character selection of other characters and announce the game for early spring (around end of March for Gamespot no?)??? I mean, if they are not finished with the game itself, they also need time for producing packaging, planning on distribution etc...
And besides, we already saw ingame videos of SSF4 (T.Hawk vs. Juri), was it only a demo?

I'VE UPLOADED THE OLD & NEW SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV CHARACTER ILLUSTRATIONS... I KNOW NOT EVERYONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE ARTWORK BUT I THINK THE CAPCOM ARTISTS ARE AMONG THE BEST OUT THERE.... SO ARE WE HAPPY WITH THE NEW UPGRADES OR DID WE PREFER THE ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS?... THE NEW JURI ILLUSTRATION IS EQUALLY AMAZING AS THE FIRST I HAVE TO ADMIT.
THE OLD ONES DEFINATELY SEEMED TO BE BY THE SF4 ARTIST IKENO...BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO THE NEW ONES ARE BY? ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS? DON'T THINK ITS CRMK OR AKIMAN....?

I wonder how the two Final Fight Characters Cody & Guy would look on the UPGRADES ILLUSTRATIONS Art work?

George said...

Tom, that was pretty cool, thanks for the comparisons. They're definitely a step better in the recent release.

Gordon, man are you obsessed with the Final Fight characters..!

Unknown said...

Not at all George all I was saying how it would look UPGRADES ILLUSTRATIONS Art work for Cody & Guy thats all. I talk about other characters as we'll too. But I am a Fan Of Final Fight, that I wouldn't Lie to you know.
but it not the same question I post all the time, I did that because I was bored I guess lol

I really liked your post on home financing! if you have more information elsewhere let me know. Please come visit my site Columbus Business Services And Classifieds when you got time.

Nando said...

@Tom:

The old ones seem to be a screenshot of the characters in 3D added as placeholders. The new ones are the hand-drawn portrait that matches the rest of the roster.

pillow pets sir horse are beautiful, cuddly, soft, animal shaped toys that seem to be the rage right now. In fact, children that own a My Pillow Pet toy seem to be completely in love with their snuggly, cuddly toys. Pillow Pets have been around since 2003 and have been bringing happiness to many kids and adults since then.
