SF Tribute: Rose
Rose from Street Fighter series, debuted in Street Fighter Zero/Alpha : Warriors Dreams. The mysterious and foxy Rose was one of my faves in SF Alpha 2, a game that I played over and over again, first in the Arcades, then on the Snes, and later on the PC version of the game.
It was a really convoluted process to put this image together: my pc died on me quite a bunch of times while painting and I had to start over from scratch. I may revise this sometime again, but for now it's done.
I did some play on the Tarot cards basing them on SF characters(Death=Bison.The Devil=Akuma-OniAkuma actually-, The Hermit=Gouken), but in the end is very little you can see them in the final illustration-
Here are the cards if you feel like checking them out:
