Constructive Critics needed.

  • I've got a lot to learn!
I'm currently trying to develop a Street Fighter 1 Redux game.
I'm redoing everything except the music.  Very early into the SF1R development, I'm currently working on the character portraits.
I've done Retsu 50%,  Joe 50%, and Mike 75%.

However I'm not really sure if I like how Mike is turning out, and he is a difficult character to re-create.  I'm not trying to make him look like Balrog since it's been noted that he may not be the same character.  I like to think he isn't the same character and make him look mostly like he did on the SF1 arcade artwork, and the intro to SF2.  That is what I've mostly modeled "Joe" after.

If you have any ideas, comments, thoughts, or constructive criticism. Please post them here so I can keep this project rolling.  Thanks.

RETSU


MIKE


JOE

For Mike, here's what I think you should do. Keep the hair in the first portrait you did, keep the skin tone of the last one, make his nose bigger, his jaw wider and get rid of the hand pressed against his jaw. After that I think he should be good.

Joe's cheeks should be more pronounced, his hair should rise vertically from his hairline, his eyes should be slightly bigger, his shoulder and neck need more contrast (they almost look like they're one in the same - think "cankles").

Retsu seems fine IMO, keep up the good work.

Thanks.

I've also started Adon as well.

For Joe,you should color his eyebrows the same color as his hair since the original design dictated he was always a natural blonde.

For Adon, you may want to give him a flatter chin. His design always gave him either a flat chin or a slightly cleft one. His cheeks could also be more pronounced.

Cool!! It's about time someone made a proper SF1 tribute.

Your editing looks great, just try to make your KOF templates.... not look too much like KOF templates. I understand your in an early process, but I didn't see Retsu. I saw a bald Takuma.

Otherwise, those are some sick looking pixel edits you have there. I really like the effort!! Looking forward to more. :sugoi:
All of your Mugen Portrait needs may be found HERE.

I'd like to report two robots on the MFG forums: One is EXShadow. The other is Saikoro.
There should be a Saikoro plugin for Photoshop.

Good catches!  Will take notes. Thanks!

Hahahaha! Yeah I figured someone would prolly catch on.  Still more work to do.  This is also my first time doing sprite edits like this, so yeah.... it shows. :D  Thanks.  Should have Sagat posted later tonight.  Thanks all.
