The (Game) Art of Sean Lenahan in our Spotlight!
B.B. Hood from Darkstalkers |
Sean Lenahan from the USA (San Diego) is like myself a big fan of the Darkstalkers and Street Fighter game series, but unlike myself, he can actually draw and is very good at it. During my research to get some of the maybe really best, creative, fun artworks together of Baby Bonnie Hood from Darkstalkers 3 for an upcoming article about her, i stumbled upon his BBH illustration from 2010..one of the really few BBH fan arts, available on deviantART not made for the UDON Darkstalkers Tribute. After a short look at his gallery there however, it was clear that i have to feature his other works as well. Sean uses a pretty cool comic style which mixes emotions with a cute factor i have not seen often yet. Just take a look at his Ibuki as example where he illustrated her very faithfully to the original design but added his own take on her through the use of the vibrant colors and strong lines for the comic book effect (i think) Beside his game related fan arts which are mostly from 2010-2011 he drew a ton of other stuff as well ranging from Marvel Comics fan art to Star Wars and more..its pretty cool he often shows the sketches and the lineart as well, i think those can be very helpful sometimes for young artists! You can visit his gallery on dA right HERE |
