A :iconmerkymerx: and :iconbehindinfinity: collaboration

:bulletred: character line art and outfit designs by Miguel *merkymerx
:bulletred: overall coloring and background art by Jin *behindinfinity (me)
:bulletred: Tekken, Alisa Bosconovich and Lars Alexandersson © Namco

Miguel and I got the motivation to work on our own ukiyo-e style illustration of Lars and Alisa because we loved the traditional woodblock print-styled images of some Tekken characters in the artbook (from the Tekken 6 Limited Edition Wireless Fight Stick Bundle).

Miguel designed these new outfits for them. The inspiration for Lars was Masashi Kishimoto's design for his extra costume, but we kept a bit of his default look with the hair. I colored him with Kishimoto's palette in mind - red, gold and black.

Because of her jetpack that resembles wings, we figured Alisa could be some strange variant of tengu, a form of monster-spirit that were once depicted to have avian characteristics. I followed the color scheme of her default outfit and incorporated parts of it into the patterns, like the blue roses.

My work process for this was similar to the one I shared a while back: [link]

Miguel drew some layout elements as well. On the upper left is "Tekken" (or Iron Fist) in kanji. On the bottom left, the date seal that says September 2010. On the lower right corner are our artist seals. Mine is the one that looks like a cloud. I chose that as my seal because clouds have a special meaning to me, and the character inside it is my name. Framed in flames are our last names written in katakana.

Traditional Japanese art is one of the greatest influences and inspirations of our artwork ever since, and we really enjoyed working on this so we'll be doing a series of ukiyo-e style fan art of different series. Here's to the first of many!

Damn this is wonderful!
Sure I hate Lars(his relation to the Mishima makes no sense), but Alisa is always gorgeous. c:
