Video Games

Okay, I've gotta admit, I'm a game fan. Not so much into RPG's (okay, I've hit them so now I stand here and they hit me. Okay, I've hit them again, now I'll stand here and ...you get the picture) but I do like the more real-time action games. The closest I ever got to RPG's was 'Parasite Eve' which was and is one of the coolest games ever made. The sequel was okay, but nothing beats that first title.

Either way, one of my favorite types is the fighting game. I am a huge, huge, huge fan of Street Fighter - all the way from its first incarnation all the way through it's latest versions. Even more to the point, I'm an even bigger fan of Capcom and their amazing art department. Those guys kick the biggest butt ever.

When fighting, I like to play as the quicker, smaller characters and that often means the female characters - which I have no problem with! :) My fave from Street Fighter is Sakura - the cute school-girl who follows after, idolizes and fights like Ryu. My second favorite is Ibuki - the ninja in training (from Street Fighter 3). I'll do a sketch of them soon.

A quick overview of other amazing games I'll replay over and over again (for those of you who care) are :
Street Fighter (mostly Alpha 2, Alpha 3 or the 3rd Generation title)
Tenchu (the original PS version)
R4 - Ridge Racer 4
Tomb Raider 1 & 2
Grand Theft Auto Vice City (I know, what a bum I am!)
Prince of Persia (another one of the coolest games ever)
Rebel Strike and Rebel Leader for the Gamecube (solely because I can fly the B-Wing!)

I often will pick up a game because of the characters. Even though I've never been a big fan of the series, I recently picked up Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance because of this one new character, a female disciple of Sub-Zero's named Frost. She's ultra-cool looking and I was inspired to do a few sketches of her. I like them and thought you guys might wanna' see them too! Enjoy!
