Number 18, Mr. Karate from Art of Fighting. Or is it Takuma Sakazaki? Or perhaps "The guy with the big beak" as AOF2 puts it? I'm running out of November and there are so many more NeoGeo characters I want to cover! #neogeonov

Kill It With Fire 2 is coming out of early access today! I did this Doom-inspired keyart for it and it was honestly *so much fun* to make... Well, fun if you're not afraid of Spiders anyway. Check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/2357000/...

Number 17, Leona Heidern from King of Fighters 96. Leona was a really cool addition to the Ikari team, I've always liked her original design. KOF96 is an all time favourite of mine too - not the most complete version sure, but it has the bosses team :) #neogeonov

Number 16, Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown. I had a version where he was covered in blood... but decided to tone it down ;) #neogeonov

Number 15, Kasumi Todoh from Art of Fighting 3. She's learning English just to give you the post-match smack talk! Art of Fighting 3 is a quality game. #neogeonov

Number 14, Toyoshige Takeno from Neo Turf Masters. I mean, it could be any of the characters but I like his stupid hat. But Neo Turf Masters is an amazing game, super easy to pickup with lots to master. #neogeonov

Number 13, Rumi Aikawa from Metal Slug X. She's the one who's wandering around aimlessly with the giant bag, always dropping good items! I believe she makes the most appearances in Metal Slug X, so it felt fitting! #neogeonov

Number 12, Rock Howard from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Absolutely a favourite of mine: A sprinkling of Terry, a dollop of Geese and a whole lot of emo. What's not to love? ;) #neogeonov

Number 11, Arina Makihara from WakuWaku7! All the characters from WakuWaku7 are based on anime tropes, so you've got bunny girls, totoro-alikes, moody vampire-types and robot girls. What a fantastic and weird game... and a genuinely solid fighting game. #neogeonov

Number 10, Rugal Bernstein from King of Fighters 94... with a cameo from Guile's statue. He's the cliché bad guy, but without his lovely letter writing skills there would be no KOF! #neogeonov

I haven't seen anyone compare the Gabe Cube to the Apple G4 Cube. Possibly because it's the most beautiful little toaster ever?

Number 9, Hibiki Takane from The Last Blade 2. Hibiki is an interesting character as she can develop a blood lust depending on how you play... stay calm with those super moves! #neogeonov

Number 8, one of my favourites (especially this version) Geese Howard from Art of Fighting 2. The Fowl leader of Southtown (Amazing pun copyright SNK, don't blame me) - I absolutely love the greasy long haired 80s version from Art of Fighting 2. This probably won't be the last Geese pic #neogeonov

Number 7: Li Xiangfei from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. She's a good goofy character but not a joke character. Also, bells for days! #neogeonov

Number 6, Orochi from King of Fighters 97. One of the better "god" bosses in KOF. I never liked his design that much, but I loved how he transforms at the start of the round. #neogeonov
(I'm really enjoying doing these, hopefully they're not too annoying!)

Number 5, It's Mai time! Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury Special. Can't do a NeoGeo thing without Mai, right? #neogeonov

Number 4, Marco Rossi from Metal Slug 3. So many good parts in Metal Slug 3, but the zombies are always the stand out highlight for me! #neogeonov

Missed one! Number 3 then, Yuri Sakazaki from The King of Fighters 99. Yuri went from damsel in distress to ass kicker and I really like her in 99 especially.
This was originally going to be for Art of Fighting 2, but I have another character in mind for that...

Day 2! Probably won't be able to do every day, but still having fun. Today it's the King of Fighters 98, Kyo Kusanagi. I always liked the pool-side artwork they had for KOF98 where they're all inexplicably dressed up all fancy. #neogeonov

I decided it's Neo Geo November - which basically means I'm drawing Neo Geo characters this month for fun.
Starting with Hiromi Mita from WindJammers! Because why not. I'm not the best at WindJammers, but it sure is a fun as hell game. #neogeonov

AI has loads of problems, but one I keep seeing is how it's being used for the laziest things. "I'm going to boil the oceans because I can't be bothered to look for File > Export as PDF".
