After 4 days of voting and a close photo finish... (the winner was decided by just 16 votes out of 350)  the public has spoken. I present you the Color of Conflict Champion, Chad Walker. Condolences go to the other finalists who put up an incredible fight but fear not, they will be rewarded for their works.

Chad’s beautiful rendition of Alvin Lee's lines will be our digital box art and Chad will be sitting pretty at our very exclusive Capcom Captivate event this spring, with a mailbox at home filled to the brim with some very exclusive Final Fight: Double Impact goods. We will learn all about Chad come this spring, but click more to jump on his carnival ride of enthusiasm, humor, and intelligence.

YEHHHHHHHYHHHHHHHH GET PAID! When I saw the confirmation I shot up from my chair like a carnival ride and my mouth went off like a jet engine, AFTERBURNERS! Capcom has been my greatest artistic inspiration, so I'm very excited to been selected for the finals and, even more so, the unexpected grand prize! My thanks to the Capcom greats: Bengus, Ikeno, Akiman, and Nishimura. Their effortless merging of the classical with pop art has taught me so much. Capcom continues to demonstrate an intellectual eye and masterful hand with each of their creative endeavors, and with that I'll continue to learn from and respect them. I believe Capcom to be one of the most important art foundries today, entertaining their audiences while never overlooking the importance of well studied and executed art. This is important in a time where I feel many companies create "art" merely to regurgitate or represent reality, Capcom perpetuates art with the knowledge of intangible beauty in what reality has to offer. The importance of color, composition, creativity in their work reinforce their mastery of physical form. Capcom is an inspiration to many more than I and provides a constant beacon to success in the industry and in art. This is all a valid reason for me to continue to sit in front of a TV and play Street Fighter for 5 hours straight. Make Capcom vs. SNK 3 please thx.

On behalf of Capcom, we can’t wait to meet him. Personally I also can’t wait to showcase the great goodies we have in store for Final Fight: Double Impact, the title that hits you with a double strike of arcade perfection this April. Also stay tuned for some more submissions pieces that didn’t make the top 5 but are extremely epic in their own right.
