Number 7: Li Xiangfei from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. She's a good goofy character but not a joke character. Also, bells for days! #neogeonov

Number 6, Orochi from King of Fighters 97. One of the better "god" bosses in KOF. I never liked his design that much, but I loved how he transforms at the start of the round. #neogeonov
(I'm really enjoying doing these, hopefully they're not too annoying!)

Number 5, It's Mai time! Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury Special. Can't do a NeoGeo thing without Mai, right? #neogeonov

Number 4, Marco Rossi from Metal Slug 3. So many good parts in Metal Slug 3, but the zombies are always the stand out highlight for me! #neogeonov

Missed one! Number 3 then, Yuri Sakazaki from The King of Fighters 99. Yuri went from damsel in distress to ass kicker and I really like her in 99 especially.
This was originally going to be for Art of Fighting 2, but I have another character in mind for that...

Day 2! Probably won't be able to do every day, but still having fun. Today it's the King of Fighters 98, Kyo Kusanagi. I always liked the pool-side artwork they had for KOF98 where they're all inexplicably dressed up all fancy. #neogeonov

I decided it's Neo Geo November - which basically means I'm drawing Neo Geo characters this month for fun.
Starting with Hiromi Mita from WindJammers! Because why not. I'm not the best at WindJammers, but it sure is a fun as hell game. #neogeonov

AI has loads of problems, but one I keep seeing is how it's being used for the laziest things. "I'm going to boil the oceans because I can't be bothered to look for File > Export as PDF".

Objection!
Mia Fey, from the Phoenix Wright / Ace Attorney series. She's cool, even when dead. Testing out the new brushes in Procreate finally!

Have you ever seen the complete Doom keyart? I never knew it extended so far left and right. But this particular crop also hides more of the gun at the bottom, shown on the second pic.

An update on this: I finally put the UV film on and the difference is night and day… literally! This is the lightest tint but now it looks like my windows are wearing shades like a cool guy.
It might not last long…

I DID IT. It took four years, but I finally completed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy... (The 3rd game was really good!)
Spoiler-free highlights include this Final Fantasy reference and a reminder that AI is rubbish. Now I can finally play the ye-olde prequels!

I installed MacOS Tahoe and instantly regretted it. Reinstall time!

I really like this TGS banner they're using on Steam. Does anyone know who the original artist is? I couldn't find it

What did you draw today, Tom? Well I drew a Snail with a gun taped to its back, obviously.
(Part of the Shadows of Doubt Modifiers update! I got to make lots of weird things for this)

I was curious how the Street Fighter Alpha sprites would look if they were designed for square pixels, so I did a quick edit to see. Square (or correct aspect ratio) on the left, original sprites on the right.
(This is rather niche, I know... but I thought someone might find it interesting)

I can't believe I haven't drawn Street Fighter 6 Ryu yet. He looks great in it, so here he is being chill.
