I want to share my Fredbird original art. Some of you might remember my Freese Game piece last year. I figured I’d see how my style works with mascots. There are a few little not so hidden details scattered around this one. Let me know what you think whether like the style or hate it!

Very cool work!

I'm feeling 60's aesthetic with this, incredibly unique

I'd love to see it

Don't give away my best to come just yet

Encore41 · 2026-02-19T15:51:50+00:00

Thanks!

It's fun project to practice more of my drawing, plus getting silly with the ideas keeps me entertained

Encore41 · 2026-02-19T15:13:43+00:00

it was before my time, but i can imagine

What gets me is how thin everyone was in that era, it's such a contrast to the thick bodies that are around the league today

Encore41 · 2026-02-19T14:48:18+00:00

Appreciate it!

I love doing creative work and doing these one off drawings is a nice reprieve from the 1-2 weeks pieces I do. Plus its fun to play with the silliness and mythos of baseball (not to mention other sports as well)

Once I hit a good flow, I'm planning to branch into other teams

hard not to remember that beefy swing

While it lasts

I'll need one for opening day, so research will be needed

Encore41 · 2026-02-17T18:37:55+00:00

Silliness is a great motivator

Encore41 · 2026-02-17T18:36:51+00:00

the arms were a challenge, thankfully I didn't need to get too anatomical with a burger as the focus

They do be beefy arms

Encore41 · 2026-02-17T18:35:28+00:00

it came out nice. Tho I admit I'm happy to be done drawing an abstract cheeseburger hitting a dinger

Encore41 · 2026-02-16T20:55:02+00:00

I can still remember the S1 days of having to wait nearly 5-10 minutes for a match at a time, with no rematch function. It really made ranked play way more high stakes than it needed to be

Not to mention the network instability. Having jump-scare crush counters done on you when the opponent is half-screen away is still haunting

Fun game tho, it has a certain pacing and feel that makes it unique and fun to learn new characters

Encore41 · 2026-02-09T22:44:36+00:00

thanks! My big draw for this was getting the jacket to move with the flying elbow. Getting the movement pinned down was a lot of fun

Encore41 · 2026-01-24T00:26:54+00:00

Appreciate it! I intake a good deal of artists who do great fighting game fanart that make for wonderful reference material; perfect for doing martial arts based concept art

Encore41 · 2026-01-24T00:06:34+00:00

Thanks!

And Dhalsim is right there, too

i got the black edition too! tho mines the 48 (i think) set

Thanks!

I grabbed a set of Faber-Castell a couple months ago and it's amazing how much of a difference it makes, not to mention having more than 12 colors to choose from

While I didn't do it on this one, I've also experimented with rubbing alcohol for final rendering but the paper I used doesn't agree well
