uve done every char in game for sf4.. except balrog , which was the one i kept hoping for :'(

Yeah, he's another character Udon hasn't made an image for yet. It's too bad really. I'd personally like to get Zangief - I mean, he is a killing machine in SF4, his grab has insane priority and insane damage.

If Udon ever makes more images like the ones I've already used, I'd gladly make more covers! It just that the only other characters they have made images like this for, are characters that aren't in the game. (Karin, Juli and Juni.)

Thanks! As for requests, I do them on occasion, but it depends on if finding artwork for said request will be easy (or even possible). I'm actually working on a request right now - a Devil May Cry custom series (1-3). It is really hard to find art for it too. Here's a preview - I'm still working on it.Spoiler

There's some things even I want to do covers for but can not for the life of me find art for. Rainbow Cotton for the Dreamcast is definitely one of those games.

Edit: I just found out he meant one case to hold all three games. I'll probably still do a series though.

Are you really a cover diesigner? The covers look great, man.

Thanks - as far as being a cover designer... well, I don't get paid for it, if that's what ya mean. =P Would be nice if I could find work as a cover designer, I know I do better work than some companies. (The initial cover designs by Ignition for the America release of King of Fighters XII were just awful... they eventually realized - after significant negative feedback - that their covers were bad and just went back with the Japanese covers, but still...)

Here's the rest of Devil May Cry.

If I had to guess I'd say it was marketing fear- initially anyway, that caused game company's to make new crappier covers instead of keeping with the originals. Now it just makes no sense at all (if it ever did). I think Konami had some pretty nice cover art for some of there early non-Asian games.

I dunno, I think a lot of cover designers (or the marketing reps in charge of them) in the west are high on stupid pills.

I remember hearing recently that Pokemon was going to be 'Muscled-Up' when they brought it to the west.

While it sounds silly, if you compare this to early covers for games like Mega Man, Bomberman and a few others, it kinda makes sense.
