J.Scott Campbell
Chris Bachelo
Mark Bagley
Arnold Tsang

(I tried to put the biggest names first, but no disrespect to the guys on the lower half of the list)
I know you probaly have to be tight liped about certain stuff, but can you say "Yes, some of those are coming up" or "None of those guys are planned to at the moment" or something along those lines?
Also if you're wondering who some are, just say which ones, and I'll either put links up to their sites, or put up some art of theirs.

We have contacted with some of the artists on the list. And some do have time to do stuff, while others cannot commit immediately. A few are bounded by contract that they cannot do anything.
Arnold Tsang is already doing art on the book monthly, and so is Rey (Corey Lewis)
Man Jim lee has to do at least something.A Either a cover or back story. I wanna see his take on street fighter characters. That would be awesome.

I'm going out on a limb here, but Mark Bagley draws some damn good action sequences. Has been since his run on Amazing Spider-man. I'm sure he'd have a great touch with a Street Fighter back-up story.
Yeah I thought Bagley would be good too, and he's one of the most talented and popular artists around, which is why I put him on the list.
It also be kinda intresting to see his take on SF, specialy since his style isnt (really) anime/Japanese inspired (Im not saying he isnt inspired by Japanese stuff, just that it isnt blantlently obvious in his style)
Another good thing about him doing it is that (from what Ive been told) is he draws suprsingly fast, meaning he can band out stuff quickly (which is one of the reasons Ultimate Spider-Man comes out so fast sometimes) ie he can/could bang out a few SF pages real quick then get back to Spider-Man without breaking a sweat.

A question for Udoneko regarding guest artists.
Will any of the guest artists who have already contributed a story pencil more stories in the future? I'd love to see more Joe Mad work.

Very great list you've got there TAZ, especially Lesean, Bachelo, McGuinness and Jim Lee. I'd love to see all of them hop on some SF backstories.
As for Bagley, he might be one of those people Udenko said is contractually not able to work for Udon. I know Marvel is notoriously famous for trying to make their artists exclusive.
Hey Udoneko, what's the chance of getting some unknowns on the back stories once and again? Like up and comers and such? That'd be cool. I'm sure some of 'em might even do the work for free just for the exposure.

I think Jim Lee's exclusive to DC right now. Not positive though.
Oddly enough, one of the first names that popped into my head was David Choe. He doesn't usually do comics, and I'm not sure if he's a SF fan, but..yeah..for some odd reason I thought of him when I thought of who I'd like to see doing a back up story, or a cover.
I know Udoneko said he really wanted Jim Lee to do a back up story, and that he called him about doing it (at least I think thats what he said) but that was all he said.
And yeah Jim Lee does seem to be an exclusive DC artist, since he's doing a year long run on Superman (starting in April) and after that him and Jeph Loeb will do Batman again.

I also wouldnt mind seeing Greg Horn draw a SF art cover or back up story considering his drawing seems to come to life like his SC2 cassandra art for the PSM magazine and his Namor for marvel. :cool:

actually I'd be interested in seeing the illustrator who does the original Capcom arcade artwork contribute a cover. hey, if you can get Kia Asamiya you can get that guy(s)! go old school!
just thought of another. Alex Ross. my man brought back BotP - I'd love to see his take on the SF crew. I know there's no nostalgia factor in it for him personally, but since UDON worked on BotP, you could pull a fave...
Yeah forgot about lesean. Definitely get this guy as I heard he plays 3s religiously.

lesean doing TMNT so I don't think he has time to do this.
Sagatryu

here's some of his artwork.
actually I'd be interested in seeing the illustrator who does the original Capcom arcade artwork contribute a cover.
There's LOTS of diffrient artists who do the artwork for Capcom arcade games, they dont just have one artist over there at Capcom.
But if you're talking about SF artwork, then you're more than likely talking about either Bengus or Akiman.
lesean doing TMNT so I don't think he has time to do this.
Just cause LeSean is doing TMNT dosnt mean he dosnt have time for this.
Do you think the artist they've had do back up stories, and are currently doing back up stories are doing nothing? No.
Also I dont imagine it would take any proffesional artist very long to do like 4 pages for an SF story, so I know that them working on something else is not the case.
Although it is the case when it comes to contracts. ie if LeSean is an exclusive Dreamwave artist, and UDON cant work it out for him to do a story, then you wont see LeSean do a back up story.

11-06-2003, 05:56 PM
as for lesean, i actually doubt he would have the time. in addition to working on TMNT, he's also got another project (Bazooka Jules) on the horizon. but damn that'd be some sweet shit.
and jim lee on superman? damn, now i gotta buy another DC book.

So u guys want LeSean?? hee hee...

I see some foreshadowing ...
Maybe some foreshadowing, either they already have him lined up, or Udoneko sees that alot of people are intrested in him doing it.
And Im not suprised about them getting him to do it.
Cause (correct me if Im wrong Udoneko) but alot of UDON employees used to work for Dreamwave, so its easy to negotiations and what not.
Oh and Udoneko maybe you can answer this for me, are Pat & Alvin Lee related? Cause I know Alvin used to work for Dreamwave, and I know at first that Dreamwave was made up of alot of Pat Lee's family and friends, so whats the deal on this?
Oh and any chance of Pat doing a cover/back up story?

what about J. Korim ? i really loved his work on Rotogin Junkbotz!
check it out (http://images.comicbookresources.com/c2f/rotogin/rotoginjunkbotzissue00_cover.jpg)
or wait a minute.... what about... Dale Keown? :)
Sagatryu
11-07-2003, 02:29 PM
Mabye Dale Keown can work on a Zangief backup story.

or blanka - he has a history with misunderstood hulking green beasts...
I like Karee Andrews, I think he did one of the best Spider-Man pics of all time (the pic of Spidey and MJ kissing, and I have the comic that its used as the cover for) which has an intresting/amussing story behind how it was done (see site)
He'd probaly be good for a back up story, but as far as I know, he's only been doing stuff for Marvel, but then again that dosnt mean he's an exclusive Marvel artist, so UDON could probaly get him.
Sagatryu
11-12-2003, 08:03 PM
so here's the news so far.
Karee Andrews is doing a back up story for SF # 4
http://www.kaareandrews.com/home/index.html
Kia Asamiya is doing a back up story for SF # 3
Hyung-Tae Kim is doing a back up story for SF # 5
Sagatryu
11-13-2003, 12:22 PM
Hey TAS is this the Image?
http://www.kaareandrews.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3
How about Travis charest doing a cover?
Kia Asamiya is doing a back up story for SF # 3
Actually I think Udoneko mentioned that Kia wont be doing the back up to #3 due to health issues, but somebody else is filling in and doing the back up instead, and Kia's cover and back up story will be used in a later issue.
You can still find Kia's cover (chun li, with an all white backround) in one of the older Previews books.
Speaking of which, Udoneko, where's all the media for issue #3? I dont even know when it comes out, and what all the covers look like (well I saw them all in the previews book, but not the cover for whosever filling in for Kia)
How about Travis charest doing a cover?
Well Id rather see him doing a back up and cover, rather than just a cover.
Although now it seems that UDON is sticking with three covers now, instead of 4, thankfully.
Cover A = Arnold Tsang or Alvin Lee
Cover B = Guest Artist
Cover C = Special Cover (various artists)
Oh and Udoneko, when can we expect to see the Edayan cover? I remember you mentioning him doing one, but can you give the time frame on when he's doing it, ie early next year, late next year, etc.

He'd probably fuck up the characters and make em look like Wolverine like he did with the Thundercats #2 variant cover.. did anyone see Wolverine with a Lion's mane?!?
Jim Lee should just stick to Batman and Superman

LeSean?! Are you on crack?? He totally ruined the Dreamwave TMNT series for me.. I mean his turtles art looks TIGHT, but as for humans!? Psssh! gimme a break! I stopped buying that series as I was disgusted by the way he depicted humans.
Sagatryu
11-13-2003, 07:21 PM
I guess you can't please everybody oh well.
:cool:

Okay well first off he only looks similar to Wolverine because of the sideburns, ie you wouldnt think he'd look like Wolvie if he didnt have the sideburns.
Also Woverine and Liono are both "half man half beast" type characters so Im not suprised that someone who is used to drawing Wolverine, and never draws Liono would use a similar thought process when drawing someone like Liono.
Jim Lee should just stick to Batman and Superman
Uhm...he's done other stuff.
You're acting like the only thing, or only good thing he's done is Batman, and he hasnt even done Superman yet, he starts that in April, so you dont know if his Superman will be good.

LeSean is the only person thats done Dreamwave's TMNT series, you cant ruin something from the get go, you can only ruin something over a period of time, or ruin something that someone else has done (which wouldnt be the case, since this has been Dreamwave's first and only TMNT series)
And have you seen all the diffrient ways he draws humans? He dosnt always draw them in that sameway/style, why dont you go have a look at his site.

Kevin's doing the replacement cover for SF # 3
Yeah Kevin Lau is doing the back up story (and a cover I imagine) for SF#3.
He's another one of UDON's artists, he works on Vampi.
You can see some of his Vampi pics here
http://www.streetfightercomics.com/udonweb/Gallery/Vampi/VampiGallery.shtml
Since he draws women so well, one can only hope is back up story will at least have one female in it.
Oh and for those wondering Kia's back up story is/was about Ken & Ryu training when they were younger (from what I heard)
Sagatryu
11-14-2003, 12:49 AM
Kevin Lau also contributes a backup story pitting Ken against Zangief.

I'd like to see Humberto Ramos handle a young Ryu encountering Gouki for the first time - he likes doing the dark and brooding thing, and it would do well in a mini-story.
I Eat Dirt
11-15-2003, 04:44 PM
I think getting Jim would be hella cool also. Humberto is a good choice too.
Man revvy you must be a super duper good artist for talking all this trash about the pros. Let us see some of your work.

Of course, always on crack.:)
Someone mentioned Travis Charest. That guy is so far beyond amazing!!! If you guys get him to do anything for this comic, i would buy like a dozen copies of the issue and spread them around to all my friends.
Bengus:
Unless you can prove you are the real deal, i hope you don't plan on going around here pretending you are. Posting under someone else's name is not cool.
udoneko:
Don't mean to bother you about it, but how long do you think the SF comics website is gonna take to be redone? The old one's gotten really outdated. You don't have to make a crazy supersite or anything, just something basic that gets updated with like ... cover artwork and some basic news. Since the comic is doing well, fan sites are bound to pop up that take care of most of the info people will be looking for online. Btw, i put up a standard link to streetfightercomics.com on a new website we're working on called www.video-opera.com but it required a text summary. I tried to be as objective as i could writing it, but it's hard to hold back the compliments. You guys are really doing a great job.

I haven't been online much and I was surprised to hear from a friend that I was mentioned at these forums for a guest artist list. I would be willing to do some stuff free-of-charge just to get my stuff out there again, it's been awhile since I fell off the radar and I would enjoy doing some Street Fighter artworks. I can be reached at masik8@yahoo.com if anyone wants to make it happen. Thanks much-

Here's two (old) pieces of SF artwork that Masik did
Ryu (http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/28-Nov-2003/19747-cf51b536.jpg)
Chun Li (http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/28-Nov-2003/19747-chunli_new.jpg)
I dont know if you still draw like that Aaron, I have a folder filled with your art, but nothing very recent. You should bust out a quick new SF sketch/pic to show us something new or whatever.
Masik
11-29-2003, 06:51 AM
Yeah, I could do that. I have to go on a vacation next week so I wont be able to then but maybe the following weeks around Christmas time I can post a pic or two of new stuff. I'll see what I can come up with, I'm still surprised you remembered my art. :)
