Description

4' x 3' acrylic painting on Masonite.

This took two weeks of ridiculously hard labor, but it was the hit at my Art Show reception, a nearby tattoo parlor is actually interested in purchasing this piece.

For those interested in the technique, I sanded and gessoed the masonite, and once it was dry I laid down a grid of 1/2" squares. From there, I outlined the sprite and began mixing colors to color match the original sprite. I originally intended to do the piece with 1" squares, but that would have bumped the size of the piece up to 8' x 6', which would have been impossible to get done in time for the show, and I wouldn't have been able to take it to the show in my car! I would have enjoyed seeing Ryu at 6' though, but a 3' Ryu is still something to be seen. The best part about the art show is that we had a Street Fighter 2 arcade parked next to the painting itself, people were inspired to play!
