This is sick man, amazing!

Fav style especially his Ken and ryu. Love how serious he makes the cast look. His designs have so much flow to them. 🔥

I must agree with you whole heartedly on everything you said. SF3rd Strike Ryu character select portrait gives me chills!!! just look at how Diago captures Ryu's look from boy to man as Daigo manifests his look as if,Ryu is still searching for something or Ryu looks as if he is contempleting on time gone by.Truly genius on Daigo's part. That portrait inspires me. I look at it everyday. Finally someone gets it. This video is awesome and detailed. I just suscribed to you.🙏🏽💪🏽👊🏽👍🏽💯🔥🔥🔥

Awesome video! Sad I just saw this! Crazy he hasn’t done more interviews or dropped a solo art book

Awesome capcom artist

I always appreciate when someone opens my eyes up to Ikeno’s worth. When SFIV came out I was bummed that Bengus, Kinu and Edayan were gone as I poured through the artwork section in the game. Of course he has contributed some sick stuff to the EX series, Rival Schools and Onimusha. He’s definitely earned his spot as one of the great Capcom artists but I respect him putting himself under the likes of Kinu, Akiman or Bengus. It’s not just false modesty. I tend to agree with him. I mean he’s an excellent artist and all but I like the others more. Cool video!

Thank you for opening my eyes. I always thought Akiman did all the artworks for third strike. I never knew that I love Daigo Ikenos art so much more :D I remember thinking, "maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, why does he not draw like back then anymore...? guess he moved on...." 😂

great vid bruv

I think Dragon's Dogma needs to be mentioned when talking about his legacy. Even though I was more of a fan of Akiman, Bengus, and Kinu early on I think he made the most progress as an artist and atm has the most visually pleasing style next to Kinu. Also, among all the amazing Capcom artists he adds volume to his characters like no one else. Even with his rough lineart.
