RYU : Sketchy WIP

Hey guys!

Havnt had a chance to post something new in a little while. Mainly cause I have been busy with work-art, which unfortunately dosn't usually get seen for quite some time. I will see about posting some of that stuff in the future.

Anyway, for now, I wanted to show this rough breakdown sketch, as well as some of the 'studies' I have been doing. Not sure if many have noticed, but I had put a little sign on the bottom of my journal entry saying that if you caught the 30,000 page views on my front page, and copy n pasted the info, I would take a request drawing. Well, lucky THORCUS grabbed that, and requested a couple of streetfighter characters. The one which popped out to me was RYU. I have always had trouble drawing RYU, so I did a couple of different versions to try and get him right.

For the final piece I plan to do full finished inks. I will be fixing up a lot of the mistakes you can see in this sketch. Particularly the leg region which I feel is a little crappy and undynamic right now. It will be interesting to see how it turns out anyway. My inking is pretty rusty these days.

Anyway....now's the time to go hardcore on the critiques. If there is anything extra crap, now's the time to say it, or forever hold your piece! haha

Thanks for looking!
