SciFi and Fantasy Art Monk by Zachariah Campbell

This is clearly the kind of guy who screams out the name of his kung-fu techniques as he's performing them, and whose martial arts are about as subtle as a tactical nuke. SHO-RYU-KEN!!!

And apparently he's not too happy, though he could just be trying to look cool for the cover of a Capcom fighting game, I guess.

What I'm especially proud of here is that he was painted entirely off-the-cuff with black ink and a not-especially-small brush. No pencil sketch, no erasing, no clean-ups, no idea of what the heck I'm actually drawing. It's a miracle he turned out, considering how sketchy and indecisive and impatient I usually am. :)

*okay to update, I broke down and used PS to erase a line that was bugging me. I cannot tell a lie. So this is no longer a 'virgin' ink drawing... sigh...*

2 Aug 2002	The Lotus	Loading... Kool. You designed a character thats typical to every kungfu movie, screaming out the technique he uses. It's very early jacky chan style. Zachariah Campbell replies: "Not to mention anime-style, a la FatalFury/Streetfighter/DragonBall... "
11 Sep 2002	Stanton F. Fink	Loading... He reminds me of that huge monk from Samurai Showdown.Perhaps he's sulking because he couldn't make the try-outs? Zachariah Campbell replies: "Yeah. He had some strange name like Caffeine, or Prozac or something. Actually one of the things I like about this piece is that he actually feels like he must be massive, even though we are looking at him on a downward angle."

24 Jan 2003	Kelli Doyle	Loading... Welcome to the world of spaztic doodles! I tend to think that my best drawings come from stupid unplanned doodles; this proves that as long as you have the irk to draw, you can create a masterpiece! So, Zach, don't throw away any of your crappy drawings, chances are they're better than anything most of us at the 'woods will EVER hope to pump out. Zachariah Campbell replies: "Hm.Well I wouldn't go -that- far... But I do keep way too many of my doodles. This was less a doodle, since I had the ink and brushes out and everything, but I was just doing a lot of random figures out of my head... it was fun, and I was pretty happy when this guy turned out."
13 May 2003	Collin J. Oswald	Loading... heh . . . HADOUKEN! sorry, couldn't resist
13 Feb 2007	Aryn Fox	Loading... I love him! he is a great character, you can see personality and attitude. Great job on the Inking.
