Just to give you a heads up about an awesome design competition we're running with Capcom Europe for the release of Street Fighter IV, which I thought might be of interest to Capcom-Unity folk. We're looking for people to create their version of one of the 25 characters from the new roster. The winning design will then be used on an official Street Fighter IV Fan Art poster.

The winner will have their poster printed on 100,000 Don't Panic posters, distributed free in the Don't Panic packs at the end of March - as well receiving an original piece of SF4 artwork signed by producer Yoshinori Ono, a PlayStation 3 and a copy of the game, as well as a bundle of classic Capcom titles. The top ten runners-up with highest voted entries will win a copy of the game on either Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.

We'd like to see creative envisioning of fan-favourite characters. Shifts in dress, stance and style to bring Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and co. into 2009. What elements epitomise each fighter's spirit? From luxurious anime ink to watercolour, deconstructed vector reworkings, or dark brooding mixed media, we want to see it all.

Go to www.dontpaniconline.com/designbrief/client/streetfighter4 for more information, and to submit your entry. Competition open worldwide until 22 March.

Look forward to seeing your work!

awesome!

Wait, doesn't Street Fighter 3 represent the favourites in modern day?

Well, actually I'd be more curious as to what Sakura would wear after she realized she wasn't a school girl anymore.

If the guy that created that Unreal 3 looking Guile that was put up online a little while back I don't think anyone else will stand a chance in this competition.

Also looking through the entries hardly any of them are redesigns, and there's a couple of them that the people didn't draw themselves.
