Artist's Comments

While I was playing KOF XI with my bro I thought it would be fun if I redid some of the characters in my own vision. A REDUX if you will.

Shingo from KOF fame, I wanted him to grow out of his goofy character design from past games. He has always been a cool character but a klutz to say the least. Here I gave him a new outfit and he has aged a bit with kind of a rebel appeal. As you can see he is now wearing Kyo's old gloves but he has personalized them.

I have also envisioned that he has finally learned to use the flame technique of his idol Kyo Kusanagi.

EDIT:: I added some distance fade shading and colored the actual line work as well as updated the flame FX.

KOF REDUX Series:

Rock Howard
Mai Shiranui
Blue Mary
K’
Vice

Kool outfit. Reminds me a bit of a vampire for some reason...maybe because the red and blue remind of Demitri Maximov as well as the high collar.

It's an awesome pic, but for some reason he looks cross-eyed. I looked closely and know he isn't, but it's hard to tell at a quick glance.

Hey Mattrified,

I fixed his eyes a bit, thanks for the comments and crit!

Cool, flame power as well. Awesome.

Now this is Shingo! I couldn't stop from laughing at him when I first played KoF XI - his DM is a rising flurry followed by an unblockable fall that looks like a mix between a bodyslam and a face-plant! Your version, however, should be in the next KoF!

The flames are a nice touch...!
:icondigitalninja:
Yeah, Falcoon be damned for keeping him such a goofball character :), if I were to work on the actual games I would age and evolve everyone, Shingo is a character that I totally see taking Kyo's place if done right.
:iconx19a:
I only started on KoF, but could barely resist from holding my sides at his antics - he'll fix his pants (like it's too loose) when you switch him out, and his DM is an UNBLOCKABLE aerial face-plant from the top of the screen! And I thought seeing Kuma the Bear fart* in Tekken 5 was damned funny! It still is, but it's got a second-runner!

*Kuma's fart: An instant-death move when released in range (comes out looking and sounding like something blew up under your rug)! Up-close ground-based evasion (side-stepping, rolling, etc.) is impossible since the move tracks. So yeah, side-step all you want - that bear's gonna moon you all the way till T-minus-zero.
:iconmedanite-m:
Except he can't learn the flame technique because that's something thats just in Kyo's blood. It comes with being part of the Kusanagi clan. Besides if Shingo got all badass, he wouldn't be the silly goof-ball we all know and love. Shingo rules because he's such a dork.

Who's Dan-China?
:icondigitalninja:
I wouldn't imagine he would use the same flame technique as Kyo, it would probably be Shingo's own version which could definitely be possible. There are ton of characters in that series who have unexplained specials, Terry learned to do his specials in the movies based on sheer will and training alone.

Shingo would be no different.
:iconmedanite-m:
I suppose.

Also when I think about it there is a running gag in the KoF series that on one of his moves Shingo creates a small spark that only he can see. It might just be a gag but perhaps you're not very far from the truth.

But he still has to loveable and goofy. XD
