Ricardo´s Art Journey

[Fedodika]

i mean dont worry about being politically correct with your designs or "is this practical for a game" or, "is this believable." Personally, I'd just do what i truly wanna see, and work with that for a while and then once you get that down, then you can concern yourself with the "realistic or politically progressive" designs.

I mean i know i like big tits, thighs on girls in fighting games, im a huge soul calibur player, its just fun to look at. When you're smashing someone in mid air with colorful lights and sound effects, the last thing going through your head is how realistic it is. Realistic fighting is like MMA, its the opposite of fighting games, theres grappling, sweating, blood, struggling etc. Fighting games have just impossible ficticious stuff going on every second, you know take advantage of that.

And if you dont want to make girly girls, thats cool too, you can still push the shapes to be appealing. For instance, like Stephen Silvers cartoons are not sexualized but they still have cool attractive shapes and fit character types. Study stuff thats just totally out of your comfort zone like cartoons and try to sketch in that style, it'll expose you to a brand new way of exploration and you dont have to show anyone that stuff if you dont want to :)

PS browse this site and see some of the cool stuff, i just ordered this book and it looks fantastic :)
