STREET FIGHTER LEGENDS: CAMMY

Art: Omar Dogan
Cover Art: Omar Dogan (A cvrs) and Rob “Robaato” Porter (B cvrs)
4-issue miniseries, launches July 2016
It’s Cammy White, the stinging bee of Street Fighter, in her own action-packed comic series! Cammy now leads the all-new special ops team “Delta Blue”, as they keep England and the world safe from destructive forces. Whether its art thieves, cyber threats, or would-be world conquerors, Cammy and Delta Blue are ready to face the enemies of freedom and justice everywhere!
And here’s a sneak peek at Omar’s fantastic art in this two-page spread from issue #1!
I’m thrilled to have a new pin-up piece included in UDON’s upcoming Capcom Fighting Tribute book. Going off the beaten path a bit, I did three characters from Warzard (also called ‘Red Earth‘ here in North America) and went for a more cartoony approach. It was tons of fun putting this together.
Here’s a step-by-step on my process. You can click on each one for a larger version:
STEP 1: This one started as a series of really loose lines and shapes, trying to find an appealing composition and flow to the overall drawing. Once I was happy with how that first pass looked I could move on to a more structured drawing.
STEP 2: I try to keep some of the energy of the initial gesture while building structure into the figures.
STEP 3: Looking more carefully at the character reference, I make adjustments to the proportion and costume details.
STEP 4: I do a quick shadow pass to get a sense of the mood and make sure that the direction of light is clear and accentuates the character volumes properly.
STEP 5: I carefully digitally ‘ink’ each character to create the final line art, using different colors so I can more easily keep track of each one.
STEP 6: I drop in flat colors for a base palette.
STEP 7: Here’s the base palette with shadows added.
STEP 8: And the final step – highlights, reflected light, effects, and color correction to finish it off.
Capcom Fighting Tribute will premiere with a limited-run convention edition hardcover at San Diego Comic-Con, July 9-12!
The standard edition of Capcom Fighting Tribute will be released September 2015. Links to pre-order the book at a variety of online retailers can be found here: http://www.udonentertainment.com/blog/product/capcom-fighting-tribute
