***MASSIVE UPDATE***
October 2015, upon completing a 9 page Street Fighter mini comic with Artist
Tree-Ink(
www.deviantart.com/tree-ink), I had another Chun-Li comic in working in my mind. It started with meshing together a few ideas that I had for the previous mini comic that I couldn't fit in to it. And originally, I wanted it to be a slightly larger, but manageable 30 pages. But more ideas kept coming, and what started with a 30 page outline grew into 50 pages, and then eventually 60, and then finally, I've finally placed the cap on a 90 page, three-part Chun-Li centered comic.
Chun-Li has been Street Fighter's leading lady, as well as Capcom's Poster Girl for nearly 30 years. She is an iconic video game character, and the First Lady of Fighting games. In addition to having a very striking design, she also has a very compelling story about justice, revenge, strength, and heart. And while Capcom certainly has done their portrayals of Chun-Li exacting revenge against the organization that killed her father, I wanted this comic to be my own portrayal of that story arc that has driven her for years. Chun-Li takes the spotlight in an ongoing fan comic filled with hard-hitting action, dramatic moments, and your favorite Street Fighter characters.
It may have taken a little over 5 years, and this comic had to go through switching of artists after the first milestone of 30 pages, as well as a global pandemic. But here we all everyone. We have finally made it to the half-way point. And though we have a long way to go before it's 100% completed, I'm just proud of the progress we've made, and how far we have come. Never have I imagined that this fancomic would come out like this. It's one thing to have the ideas in your head, outlined, drafted, planned out with reference pics, etc. But to see it come to life on the page, it's a feeling that resonates with you for a good while. Every page, every sketch I see feels like an additional 45 Christmases/Birthdays within the past 5 years.
Of course, non of this would've been possible without my two artists. Sergio Breseno / Tree-Ink (
www.deviantart.com/tree-ink), and Widodo Pangarso / LABYLABY (
www.deviantart.com/labylaby). These two artists are immensely talented, and I can not thank them enough for all of their hard work, their creativity, their artistic talents, their flexibility, and cooperation. Both have their own unique styles, and ways of working with your. But both are phenomenal artists, and you will not be disappointed with their work. Please, be sure to leave a follow on their profile and to thank them for their works.
In addition to the milestone Page 45, there are plenty of other updates to the comic as well, including a few covers as well as a Promo Art to not only celebrate this moment, but to get you readers hyped for the next part of the comic.
