While playing the remake of classic JRPG Walk Over My Corpse on the PSP, I couldn’t help but be dazzled by its traditional Japanese “Sumi-e” art style. Sumi-e, for those of you who don’t know, is a kind of painting where an artist uses nothing but black ink, brush and rice paper to create a watercolour of the “soul” of its subject.
Loraine Howard III doesn’t just have the best name of any artist we’ve featured here on our concept art spotlight, he also has some of the most impressive 3D work, headlined by the incredible Balrog you see up top.
As far as video game characters get, few are as iconic as Street Fighter‘s Chun-Li. She’s not only a player favourite, but also a fan one. Many a cosplayer has donned her qipao. But who wore it best? Let’s find out.
As a rule, Portal guns don’t make everything better. But they can certainly liven up a round of Street Fighter II.

The video we posted of a cute, giggling baby getting knocked out by his father’s hadouken was too adorable to not get the GIF treatment.
