*That* Shinkiro Illustration...

This dude can't draw faces - not a fan of 95% of his art. Just all looks the same

It was really rude of Geese to murder Jeff.

I'm grateful that he did. We got one of the best video game series of all time because of it, and legendary soundbites besides.

I would really enjoy a prequel Fatal Fury game.

Aaaw fuck you kern . Now I can't unsee this! But you're right he always draws the same expression/face.
I do still adore his airbrush style.
Wonder what he is up to know, kinda dissapeared of the radar after his inital capcom work

 

[kernow]

It's been known for decades he's done that.

Shinkiro has always been a great painter, from a technical standpoint he's truly a master. Fantastic use of colors. But of course most of his characters looked alike, and if I had to take a guess, I'd say that he probably heavily relied on photographic reference to compose his works. When you use real people for a comic/manga style, you'll get some problems and I see all the issues in his illustrations: a lack of dynamism, realistic/boring proportions of the bodies, an excess of detail (due to the temptation of preserving what's in the photo) and even cloned faces, if you're hiring the same model over and over. This happened even with great oil painters three or four hundred years ago, you'll see tons of replicated faces and even start recognizing the model (Shinkiro's model must've had a thin nose and a strong jaw).

I've also just noticed something a bit lazy and unprofessional in this illustration, and it tells me that Shinkiro must've gone all-in with Photoshop later in his career: the wrinkles in the jacket's arms are just cloned/mirrored from one side to the other, with some minimal warping to adapt them. Even the gloves are mirrored, with a slight exception for the thumb area.

I like some of his earlier work like Mutation Nation and Robo Army…but when it comes to the later fighting game character stuff kernow is 100% right.

You goobs must be blind!!!
