Kim Kap Hwan from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters.
Kim is probably one of my all time favorite fighting game characters. When SNK first introduced him in Fatal Fury 2 he had such a fresh style compared to any of the Street Fighter archetypes showing up in the arcades. With his lighting fast kicks and awesome aerial attacks, Kim was an excellent opponent against anyone using a projectile character. Having said that, Kim has also been one of the least altered characters in the SNK universe. Aside from some odd costume choices in MI 2, Kim hasn't really changed much since his initial debut. My goal was to modernize his look for current day styles, yet also keep his costume very logical for the amount of kicking and movement he has when fighting. The outfit I designed for him takes into consideration the loose fitting Taekwondo Gi he had donned up until this point, but adds a bit of modern day athletic style to it. -DN See the rest of my KOF REDUX series: Shingo Yabuki Mai Shiranui Rock Howard Blue Mary K Vice Joe Higashi Kula Daimond Kyo Kusanagi Whip Geese Howard King Sie Kensou Leona Heidern Ryuji Yamazaki Yuri Sakazaki Ryo Sakazaki Vanessa Oswald Mature Ralf Angel Iori Athena K9999 Elisabeth Andy Nagase Ash Kasumi Benimaru Lien Neville Terry Bogard Bonne Jenet Billy Kane Orochi Alba Meira Heavy D Shermie Wolfgang Krauser Foxy Duo Lon May Lee Clark Still Chizuru Kagura -DN Comments

One is the angle of the kick. My eyes are distracted in that I don't know if his leg is sideways or if the knee is coming forward (it may be due to how the placement of the pants in the ankle area is placed). If the leg is intended for a side view and not a knee, then the standing foot needs to pivot to the right for anatomy sake.
The other thing is the perspective of the shoes. It looks like the kicking leg's shoe should be bigger than the standing one due to the placement of the kick. If I may suggest, once your piece is finished, take a look at it from a distance and view it from top to bottom to see if everything seems in place and nothing distracts the eyes.
Again, though, this piece does have a strong impact feel, and the various blues with white help bring it together.
