Spike Spiegel said:He's got such a unique style that you can tell it's him right away. I love his art, as he's produced some of the finest art with posters, covers, and in game art I've ever seen. HOWEVER, he's also a hit and miss with me, as many people all sort of look alike with his style. For instance, I LOVE his Geese, Terry, and KOF covers, but then he'll do stuff such as K. I hate his K. Never liked the way it looked.
But, overall, I love him to death. Great artist.

I'll second that -- it's my favorite cover art, too. Most of his stuff now (maybe all since he went to Capcom) is done in Photoshop, so except for preliminary pencils there wouldn't be any originals of that. I'd love to have some of his older acrylic jobs, like the RBFF main art or the Haohmaru or Nakoruru portraits from SS2, though. I'd love to have any of his marker stuff too, although marker is not too archival and will probably fade eventually.David Fallows said:
Mush respect to the guy for my favourite cover art of all time: Real Bout 1. He's one of the people I'd love to meet in person and have a conversation with, and I'd definately consider purchasing some of his originals for crazy prices if I did have the cash.

KOF 2000 was godly and all the artwork for KOF since then has been pure shit.
People also seem to gloss over the fact that he did slug 3 as well. yet again, another series that had it's art turn into a festering pile when he left.
Does anyone know what other neo games he has done?
if he was the one that did the earlier KOF's than that is not his best work.
Nah, he did a few things before Fatal Fury... like Burning Fight, Robo Army (not sure about this -- came out the same date as FF), Sengoku, Riding Hero, Ghost Pilots. I'm probably forgetting something.Liquid Snake said:Correct me if I'm wrong. I think Fatal Fury was Shinkiro's first work at SNK.
Art of Fighting, FF2, FFS were next in line.

I'm not positive he did the main illustrations for Riding Hero and Ghost Pilots, although I'm pretty sure the main illo for Ghost Pilots is him, but he did design work and manual illustrations for them.Liquid Snake said:He did all of that?
Sengoku and Robo Army look like his early style but Riding Hero and Ghost Pilots? Wow............
He left SNK about the time the original SNK collapsed. I believe KOF 2000 was his last work there, and I believe Capcom vs. SNK was his first work at Capcom. I'm not positive about that, though.Rodi said:Ok I'm confused... Is Shinkiro with Capcom or SNK?
