Hey, just thought I'd share a few of my more recent zako artwork commissions. I also discovered SanoBr a couple of months ago who has done a fantastic job of re-imagining a couple of bad girls for me in addition to the work he's doing for Holhorse.

The first commission was of Nora from Streets of Rage. I usually take my main reference from the original game sprites, but here I also had a bit of influence from the box art, and DynamiteFetsh's own fanarts.

The second one was another one featuring whip wielding zako, although one who (AFAIK) has never featured in a fanart before - the dominatrix from Vendetta / CrimeFighters 2. This time there were just the sprites to use as reference and I just added in a couple of small details.

I'm really enjoying working with SanoBr on these commissions, he's shown a fantastic ability to grasp the ideas and details that I've wanted to highlight in the character designs and I'm hoping to do a few more with him over the next few months. My plan is to continue doing a few more of these character design sheets of kind of obscure zako so that there are some clear design references for these characters to help with any future works.
