I've always been a fan of his artwork for the SNK games. Always wanted to draw and detail characters like that. They all have this photographic Vogue quality to them.

They remind me of 80s-90s haircut books that you would see at salons

Bought a copy of a very nice "Art of SNK" picture book at an anime store in the mall when I was maybe 8-10; around 2001. I was infatuated with it, as far as how just unique it is, in the same way Berserk comes off, just immediate, or as you said in the video, how a Franzetta immetiately is known without a second thought. With the SNK aspect, these were characters you wanted to imitate, the way the bodies utilized light and especially that of health. Take his beach setting ones, personality is everywhere, but these bodies are absolutely proportional and greek in a way other games and media were not. Still my favorite visual out of gaming

I love his art so much. When I was about 7 years old, I use to scroll through the gallery of King of fighters games. His art always had me thinking like these characters are real and have their own lifes outside the games.

I used to feel a bit awkward by his pieces mixing such fantastic characters with real life details, but over the time he's become one of my favorite FGC artists. Truly master of his craft

I found his style off-putting at first as well, but he grew on me over time, and I appreciate it a lot more now

Shinkiro's style always reminded me of Alphonse Mucha-particularly his use of heavy outlines juxtaposed against soft/warm shading. His work is inspirational and truly iconic for fans of the franchises. My favorite illustrator by far.

My favorite work from him its in the nest saga, just like you said with the 98 cover, you can feel the engines of the city, i think many of his work feel like that, and thats why i like what he did in kof 99 and 2000 so much, you can feel the freezing metal as well as the heat from the engines, he drawed k with this orange that you always get that feelin, that he was a stone cold robot, but someon who has a good heart. Honestly i think his artstyle works so much better with cyberpunk or just anything that is dystopian and has cool machines

Growing up with the Neo Geo and SNK in general Shinkiro is all i ever see in my mind when I think of characters like Haohmaru, Terry, Kyo, Geese, Mai etc he defined that system, games and characters in my mind...great video! Side note the 2 bodyguards with Geese are Ripper & Hopper :)

2:04 I saw that drawing in a spanish videogame magazine circa 1994, I was wondering some years if it was a drawing or a real girl cosplaying Nakoruru. Truly amazing. She is also my favorite character from Samurai Spirits series.

what a wild coincidence. i've just started playing kof '97 because of last week's episode of the insert credit podcast dedicated to king of fighters. now i'm going to the insert credit forums to post your video.

Hm, I'd never heard of Insert Credit before. Just listened to that podcast, it was neat. Hopefully your fellow boomer forumites enjoy this video too (I'm joking (mostly))

Shinkiro is like the Japanese Alex Ross, which is weird, since both artists have done official artwork for Gatchaman (Shinkiro for Tatsunoko VS Capcom, Ross for a Battle of the Planets DVD box set).

This is the EXACT opposite of what was taught to me in Sambo. Never loo at their eyes, look at their hips. THEY are looking at your eyes to see where you're coming from next, but any sort of attack stems from the hips, be it a punch, or a kick.

I love his style. What tools does he use for his gradient like in the Capcom vs SNK artwork ? Looks like airbrush to me, but I know nothing about drawing.

@TheCellarTaigenMoon Жыл бұрын

In one of the interviews I found (the last one in the sources section of the description) he said he mostly uses digital. This was around 2004, I believe, and he next says that when working with paper he likes "Copic's acrylic gouache"
