According to Iggy on MMCafe, the message on his website says that today was "the saddest day in his life", and that he won't be returning to "that place" ever again.

No idea if it was something professional or personal. Maybe he lost his job at SNKP (which is why I'm posting this here, as it would likely affect who ends up doing 2004's artwork.), or some other company. Maybe he lost someone close to him. Maybe he bought at bad set of paint and won't be returning to his favorite paint store as a result.

Anyways, if anyone has any more detailed info, then feel free to throw it out. Otherwise, get your rumormills out and start conjecturing.

Here is a link to the MMCAFE Thread in question, and a cut/paste of the photo on falcoon's website...

The supplied translation, and accompanying pic are so sad, and truly makes me feel sorry for Falcoon, as he truly seems saddened.

If I had to guess, when he says "That Place" i'd guess it was his employer, SNK-P.
And he says he can never go back, perhaps some sort of argument took place? Money Maybe...

Purely speculation... I am interested to see what this is indeed about.

Don't know if he lost his job, his girlfriend, a parent, or his goldfish, though.

Very interesting. Anybody have any clue as to what Falcoon is talking about? I'm guessing he might be talking about a loved one, but that's just from what I'm guessing.

Yeah, that would be the most logical assumption based on what we know. I would figure getting fired by the company that you've been a long-time fan artist of, and worked hard to get employed by, would be a huge blow for him.

I would have to figure that SNKP wouldn't be he only job though, so maybe it was another company that fired him, and they were unusually harsh.

I'm she he wouldn't refer to something personal as "that place", unless it was some place he went with someone he knew personally and that person had a tragic event happen to him/her. Though, you'd figure if that was the case that he would've mentioned that person, or just a person in general.

I hate it when bad stuff happens and people are vague. :\

for all we know it could be more personal and that's why he isn't talking about it. I doubt it's a loved one. based on the attitude it seems like depression/ suicide/ or some sort of abuse (drugs etc.). Just my opinion for what little it means.

I believe it is unlikely that he was let go from SNK Playmore. If I understand correctly, even though Japanese artists are hired on for their creative artistic talent, the original artists almost always retain complete control of their artwork, unlike in America, where there are many instances that the creations are retained by the employers. Also, at the very top it says

'Yatto kimochi no seiri ga dekita noni, konna ketsumatsu ga matteiyou to wa omotte mo mimasendeshita,'

which translates into English as

'Despite having finally pulled my feelings back together, I never even saw this kind of ending that was waiting for me.'

Would seem to be kinda of a strange thing to reflect upon unemployment. All indications point to some kind of significant other that he could not hold onto.

it must have been terrible for wanting to leave his memories behind.

But you have to be able to fold the paper and send the letter to write a new one.

Pot. Kettle. Black. ;)

Anywho, it looks like he seperated from his girlfriend. Who broke up with who, no one knows yet.

Nope he's damn right.

Falcoon = fanart-looking style

All the females look like stupid bitches ready for some hentai doujin action.

C'mon, you know Hiroaki, Tonko, Shiroi Eiji, ore even Nona... that was art.

Still Falcoon managed to be way better than the retarded monkey who illustrated KOF NEOWAVE. Despite having some Range Murata's genes implanted in his red-gloved right hand (you know, K' style), the poor thing wasn't able to do anything but shit. We know the result.

Yeah. Fucking great. Guys and girls, old and new, all the same fucking thing. Shinkiro only got decent when he was already with one foot at Capcom.

And the less said about Nona...

#1: Shinkiro was never mentioned. "C'mon, you know Hiroaki, Tonko, Shiroi Eiji, ore even Nona... that was art." One name is missing from that quote.

#2: Shut the fuck up. Your opinion of what constitutes good art is no more valid than anyone else's. SHinkiro's faces all look the same...how amazing of you to notice that (eyes rolling until dizzy causing projectile vomiting). What you don't notice is that is not his primary focus; and that in composition, anatomy, rendering texture, ability to use a variety of media from colored inks to oil paints -- Shinkiro is extremely accomplished. I like Falcoon, but he is master of NONE of these things. He's a fan artist who made good. That's fine, and I enjoy him as that; but that's all he's pretty likely ever to be. Both artists are good at what they are trying to be, and they both have their strengths. By classical artistic standards, Shinkiro is a much better artist; but in the feild they've chosen to work, that doesn't necessarily mean shit. But it doesn't mean anything if you prefer anime-style computer-colored linework over oil painting on canvas, either.

#3: by traditional standards, Nona is also a good artist. If you don't happen to like her, fine. It's a matter of taste.
