My latest 4×6 Design for the Street Fighter 4 Tournament in LA.
The guys at UGTL pretty much give me free reign on these postcard designs which is a great opportunity for me to try new things. I drew this Ken vs. Ryu during the live art at UGTL 3 and knew it would be perfect for the next flyer.
Its just sharpie and a little bit of watercolor which I then scanned and started photoshopping.
I used color halftoning to get the colors to look printed. A technique I’ve been wanting to use for a while.
Once it was time for backgrounds and text I decided to keep with the whole messy underground feel of paint splatters and woodpanels. Street Fighter 4 has a lot of watercolor paint effects going on so its cool to be
able to give the flyer such a great organic and traditional feel.
