Saturday Showcase: El Fuerte

El Fuerte
    I am a huge fan of the Up Up Down Down  YouTube channel presented by Xavier Woods from the NEW DAY!!! and WWE.  Anyway, I was binge watching Miz and Mrs. and they were having a Street Fighter tournament.  Well, being the gamer that I am, I decided to get out my copy of Street Fighter IV and just have some fun.  Well, today I decided to play as characters I never played as before and I picked El Fuerte.  I immediately fell in love with the character and I know who I will play as from now on.  If El Fuerte is available, then he is my guy that will lead me to victory. 

    I was playing Street Fighter today and I thought to myself that El Fuerte will make a great post for my Saturday Showcase and here we are.  Let's dive in and dig up some more on this talented luchador.

El Fuerte Vs Rufus

    El Fuerte is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter IV. He is a Mexican luchador and chef, traveling the world in an effort to perfect his lucha libre skills and hone his cooking abilities.

    El Fuerte is a short, but very muscular, Mexican man. He dresses in typical luchador uniform with black elbow pads on his arms and a gold sash on his waist. He wears short, white tights buttoned up to his thighs, with three blue stars on his rear. El Fuerte also wears white, laced, wrestling boots with golden soles. His mask follows the pattern of the rest of his outfit, being white with gold trim and having three blue stars on his forehead.

Rainbow Mika and El Fuerte
    El Fuerte is a hyper, easily excitable fighter who constantly thinks out loud about new recipes even during a fight. Maybe that is why I like him so much.  He frequently seeks inspiration from other fighters he meets because of their various origins across the globe, much to the annoyance of some, but to the amusement of others. His cooking has mixed results. In the games, he frequently whips up unusual combinations after becoming overexcited from all the ingredients he gathered while abroad.

    Hopefully, he will continue to be a mainstay in the world of Street Fighter, that way I will always have my favorite character to kick ass with!  This has been my Saturday Showcase post for the week.  I hope you enjoyed this article.

Until next time, get your GAME on!

Injustice - gods among us

I finally got around to downloading Injustice gods among us on my Kindle Fire HD and I have to say I am impressed.  The game play as well as graphics are very good and I am having a blast playing it.  Sure it is a different playing style than most of your consoles, but the game still kicks ass no matter what format.  :)

Interview with Raffaele Marinetti

It's time for another interview with a talented artist.  The focus of today's interview is the talented Raffaele Marinetti. I first discovered his work while searching my messages on deviantart.  He is truly a gifted artist and you need to check out his work.  And now, time for the interview.  Enjoy!

1. Who are you and where are you from?

My name is Raffaele Marinetti and I'm a freelance Italian illustrator and I'm living in Naples (Southern Italy).

2. How did you get into drawing?

I'm an autodidact and I learned, looking and studying any great stuff of important comic artists and illustrators. I started as professional circa 10 years ago, with some short comic book stories pubblished in Italy and USA. Thereafter I specialized as a cover artist and illustrator and digital painter, obviously without neglecting the comics.


3. By looking at your art, I would say you have read comics so, what is your favorite title?

Yes.. my favorite in the last years it's Astonishing X-Men Ghost Box.

4. What inspired you to do Harley Quinn?

Harley is one of my favorite female villains... She is sexy, comic and strong... a very funny character to draw.

5. Where can my readers see your art?

You can see my artworks on my website and on various online galleries.

6. Do you have anything you would like to promote right now?

My latest pin-up series, dedicated to the superheroines and action-heroines from comic books and games.  You can see some of them on my website and blog.






7. What is your favorite project that you have done?

A series of digital paintings dedicated to the female warriors, that I did a few years ago for a book of SQP Publishing.

8. What are your plans for the future?

A couple of the projects.... one about some cover arts for a comic book series. The other one about an art book.  But I can't talk about it now...
