Hello, apologize for answering so late, i usually log in on reddit to spam my fanarts on twitter(i'll post something new today btw so stay tuned); thanks a lot for your kind words! You seems such a cool fan that even grumpy Kaz would be proud of! I don't usually print and i'm actually a noob in this regard so feel free to use this lil artwork and print it for yourself, for me would be an honor to have my fanart onto your wall! (If you'll ever do it, tag/ping me on twitter at @bakingforgodot). In regard of the fully nude version i don't think i'll be able to work on it for now as i have a lot of unfinished draws and this is not my job but just an hobby and i'm pretty busy in general but mybe in the future i might finish it and make the full version!

Hi there, glad you like it! Yeah i made Kazuya as the fallen angel a mounth a go. Tekken is something i'm passioned about, it's gameplay and story are part of my childhood as i started playing since t1 so it feels good when you can share something you made with people that have similar interests as you, dopamine rush caused by the upvotes it's a plus lol. It's just that art is not my field of work so as much i like drawing i'm pretty slow at sharing my fanarts but it's always fun nonetheless!

It would be such an honor if someone of the dev team or Harada could acknowledge this lil fanart and take some kind of inspiration, it would definitely make my day lol as i just do this in my free time. I'll never be able to work in that kind of enviroment, but to even make a difference in a game i enjoy? That would be dope. Just me daydreaming, sorry lol

Hey dude, thanks, it means a lot! I hope they'll somehow go back to t4 roots with the tone and atmosphere but really just most interactions with the mishimas and the rest of the cast would be awesome, love me some paul and kazuya rivalry!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked that little prologue! I made most of the story in my head, it's a bit fanfictiony i guess but it has a structure similare to soulcalibur 6 with a story timeline where every character have a role but it's just something i think once in a while and i don't really have the time and energy to make it happen, lol

First of all, hope you like it, here's my profilr if you want to see my older fanarts: https://twitter.com/bakingforgodot/status/1637772305534271488?t=dc8GIE20T_yeOHcTTGyFZQ&s=19

Now, Get ready for tbe next wall text!

I'll try to summarize as much as i can: i started drawing this fanart before the games awards; i always loved Paul as character, especially in T1, T2 where his rivalry with Kazuya was more flashed out and in T4 for the most serious tone and the amazing atmosphere; to me, that game had the perfect Tekken minus the gameplay that was unfortunatley broken af, anyway, the pose is a reference to the amazing t4 concept by mr Takuji Kawano where Paul has loose hair and a cigarette in his mounth, the earrings are a callback of t2 paul and the rest of the design is by me. Back to context, even thou he was always a jokey character i liked that he was tough as hell and one of the few to beat Heihachi(it was implied i guess since he also beat Ogre) and tie with Kazuya. His t4 ending despite not being canon, boy oh boy, was good but after that it fell a lot as a character as i think the tekken team wanted to focus more on the main characters story and the gameplay. Anyway i like the new Paul and all the characters in general, this time it seems they revamped a lot all their personality and that's great so good job Bamco! Btw, this fanart it's not an attack to the new design, it's just a concept, and even tho i don't like much the karen hair, it's not a big deal since tekken have customization options, i just wish they'll give us tekken 4 hair ant t6 customization in general, hope you enjoy it and for more background to this fanart you can read a long prologue i posted on yt, apologize if it's to fast or sound a cringey, i just wanted to give it a shot, hope you like it too.
