joe randel's art dump

I finished the Mai rough I did a few days ago.  I just couldn’t let it stay rough like that.  It was lots of fun to do.  Maybe I’ll do more of this non-smutty fan art thing.  Enjoy ^_^

This might sound odd, but I don’t draw non-naughty game fan art.  I don’t know why… I have nothing against it.  Even though I’ve loved games for as long as I can remember, I just don’t ever try my hand at it.  I have once or twice in the past, but nothing as of recent.  So I decided to give it a go.  I’m doodling out a pic of Mai from King of Fighters.  Not sure if I’ll see it through to a finished state or if I’ll just leave it as practice.  So far it’s been pretty fun.  Who knows, maybe I’ll do more as a sort of non-naughty drawing challenge for myself. ^_^

With King of Fighters XIII sticking to it’s 2D roots doesn’t mean you need to as well.  New comer (to XII anyway) Mai Shiranui will come out in all her 3D glory this Dec as a 1/5 model.  Pretty sweet eh?  I’m sure lots out there will be in line to snatch her up but I won’t be one of them.  I think my wife would shoot me if I spent Â¥24,800 (US$272) on this figure.  Heck, for that price she better do more then just stand there.  More pics and a KoF XIII trailer after the break.
