I don't know how familiar everyone is with him, so I figured I'd post some of his KOF pics for more people to get a feel for his style:

Mostly amazing, but some of the stuff looks too comic-book-like. Its incredible on the whole though. quite inspiring.

I agree. I enjoy his style more when applied to Capcom characters (the JoJo work is excellent), but hey, nice to see him over at SNKP.

I just love these artworks! I hope that it will inspire Playmore for the next KOF. I really appreciate the Kyo, ramon and Seth one.

maybe he's only working for Arcadia magazine ! He only made a Mai vs Chun-li cover and artworks for KOF2003 that don't mean it's official !

He also did box art for AES and PS2 SvC. Seems he's SNK's new go-to guy. I like his work, but I'd like to see more Nona stuff...

Its alot better than most of SNKP's stuff as of late. If he became the new official artist I wouldnt complain one bit! I'm loving it. Its fresh.

Did he ever have any official capacity at SNK, or does he just draw KOF characters for fun?

His style is pretty good overall, though the feet are kind of big...

That's one of the aspects of his style I really like, as it reminds me of CAPCOM illustrator, BENGUS, back around the time of SFZ and Vampire Hunter.

Great artwork. Good form and even though it has somewhat exaggerated anatomy it still is quite beautiful to look at.

I'm a big fan of Bengus' also, but in the Capcom Design Works book, illustrations originally attributed to him were divided up under 2 names: CRMK (most of them) and Ikeno. Was Bengus really 2 people all that time?!

Does he have a book out? This stuff is amazing, even if I don't recognize half of it.

I've seen much of this art before. That has to be the sexiest Leona I've ever seen. You gotta post the Kyo one with that pimp ass tie he has, it looks so much better than any Kyo art I've ever seen. :glee:

Man no matter what year it is, KOF will always be stuck in the 90's.

If it weren't for the sprite recycling, they should just let Falcoon go crazy with the character design.

I'm sorry all you hardcore fans, but grandma's clothes aren't cool anymore.
