Darkstalkers Tribute Poster

Looks like we're finally allowed to show these:) (Smile)

This was my take on the Darkstalkers poster. I wanted to show all the characters so I tried thinking of some unique ways to do that and I always kept coming back to this idea.

This also was a great excuse to draw Morrigan twice, from the front and the "behind";) (Wink)

. I also thought it would be neat to have a painterly style in her "real" world, then anime cuts in the "cartoon" world of gaming.

This was done in tight pencils, then colored in Painter and Photoshop.

I will be selling prints of these at SDCC as well. Hope to see you all there!
