Take no prisioners

So I saw this special move from rolento ("take no prisioners") where he hangs his opponent with the help of Del Gado (one of his subordinates) and I thought about a more interesting situation.
First I thought of the crotchrope, but then it came to me the "special" gag, so it´s one scream and boom!!

I like Maki´s sprite design in SF alpha 3, nice colors, animation, poses and attitude. Kind of rough tomboyish and not even trying to be hot... but she still is!
Final fight maki is more oriental in design and accesories. SFA3 Maki is more occidental in her outfit design.

In the first sketch she was frogtied and she was hanging by her neck, but I´m not that fond of suffocation, hanging, breathplay or whatever. So I worked around another kind of peril. In the end I liked it more. That rope goes deeeeeeep!

Perpective was not that hard. Hope that the characters proportion are correct. I did´nt want to put rolento on first plane, but couldn´t think of other setup for the scene.
Color pallete taken from in game sprites, but modified to fit the background. Again tried cel shading, but had to add some soft shading and lighting here and there.
Worked the lights from the back to the front for the subway lamps. I think they came out nice. Was going to add more details to the background (fire extinguisher, trash bin, posters..) but I got tired of it, and I think it works just fine as it is.

If I ever start taking comissions -very improbable possibility...- I will charge a lot more for multiple characters. It is a lot of work!! and in the end one of them gets neglected (the orange guy on the ceiling... meh.)

I loved the process of the pic.

Njoy

Cabroon out.
