Elena design i did a while ago (2013)

Now she has capoeira pants!! i think it's neat how the color blocking of the new design is kinda what i imagined plus the details like the belt are pretty true to capoeira.

WITH LEGS LIKE HERS -- "SHE IS THE FIRST "STREET FIGHTER" CHARACTER TO USE ONLY KICKS."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on character art of Kenyan princess, Capcom girl, & Capoeira fighter, Elena, first appearing in "Street Fighter III: New Generation" (1997), published and developed by Capcom. Artwork by Kinu Nishimura.

Resolution at 1564x2048 & 1000x1382.

FIGHTING STYLE AND ABILITIES: "Elena's fighting style, Capoeira, is of West African and Brazilian origin. The style utilizes her strong, long legs to execute amazing dance-like moves and fancy legwork. As such, excluding grabs, her moveset consists entirely of kicks and leg throws. She is the first "Street Fighter" character to use only kicks."

Street Fighter 3 - HYPER BOMB!!!

Last one among my 3 recently finished artworks I worked upon at the same time.

So, this is my own take on the last bit of the "Hyper Bomb" move that Alex performs in the Street Fighter 3\5 games as his signature Command Grab move.

But wait, isn't Alex a young buff gymbro in the games?

Yes, yes he is, but I already painted him twice in the past as he looks in game, so I decided to give this artwork a twist: Alex is not the canonical one from the games, but instead of him, there is Alexia, his genderswapped counterpart!

A signature of canon Alex in the game is his voluminous bodybuilder chest, so I had to compensate by painting Alexia with a huge womanly chest as well - the excuse for her having it so big, is that Alexia drinks lot of protein enriched milk :)

Of course I had to carefully redraw the corporatural Alexei's proportions to turn them a woman's, while still keeping some of the characteristics of canon Alex, such as the huge shoulders and sculpted abdominal muscles - muscles that I painted as fatter than the male canon counterpart, because Alexei is still a woman after all, it is unhealthy and unfanction for a woman to have too much low of a physiological fat percentage.

The one that is going to be slammed on the ground is of course Elena, the Kenyan capoeira dancer always feautured on Street Fighter 3. Elena quite tall, she is 183 centimeters with a slender bodytype, while Alex\Alexei is 195 cm but buff, so I thought she would have been perfect as a foil to Alexei's burlier body.

The setting is some anonymous slum in New York city where there are buildings that are partially wrecked down by demolition balls.

Really loved painting this, and I think it was the right call to have Elena twisting toward the viewer as she is held by Alexia as she both are falling to the ground!

Writing Weapons (7): Unarmed Combat (Hand-to-Hand Fighting)

In a fight situation with no weapons, characters will stick with the kind of fighting they're familiar with: grappling or striking.

Grappling

Martial arts: judo, wrestling aikido, jiu jitsu, sambo, lucha libre, glima

Suitable for: entertaining fight scenes

Aim in lethal fight: chock or strangle

Words to use: grapple, wrestle, twist, pull, pin, roll, throw, toss, squeeze, press, chock, strangle

Mixing Martial Arts

Some martial arts combine grappling and striking techniques.

A skilled martial artist is probably an expert in eiher striking or grappling, but also has basic skills in the other.

Easier to stick with one group for one character - the hero's friends can complement each other if they have different martial art backgronds!

Investing a Fantasy Martial Art

Spiritual Elements connected to the general magic/religious system of your story world.

Mental Focus that allows the martial artist to amplify the effectiveness of attacks.

Small rituals, like bowing to the guru before and after every fight to obtain some kind of "blessing"

Size

Ruthlessness

ROUND 1, MATCH 41

NO MAGIC, POWERS, WEAPONS, OR ADDITIONAL HELP FROM OTHERS

L Lawliet:

“He's got some sick capoeira shit, kicked Light in the face once. It's such a cool & unusual fighting style I dont think anyone will have a strategy for it. ”

“He knows capoeira and is good at it, and is surprisingly good at taking a hit to the face. Also, I love him, that counts for something, right?”

A horse:

“*David Attenborough voice*  Ah! Here we see the noble horse. Truly one of nature's least survivable animals. This pathetic specimen cannot handle the breakage of it's legs, because it is too intellectually limited to avoid using the damaged appendage. In a fight with virtually any other animal the impressive strength that a stallion may demonstrate is immediately made secondary to the limited survivability of a horse.  Horses are not good fighters. I don't like horses. They will lose many many fights.  Thank you for coming to my (David H Attenborough's) TED Talk.”

“i saw this on the spreadsheet and thought it was funny so i'm supporting it with a vote. let's get a horse in this fight”

“Have you tried fighting a horse? Shit's scary :(”
