20 years of fantastic art September 17, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KFOC9PAP09FS SF20: The Art of Street Fighter is actually a translated edition of the Japanese art book Street Fighter Art Works (ISBN:4862332145). It's really great that Capcom (or Udon Entertainment) has decided to translate it and pushed it out so fast.
SF20 is a 20th anniversary tribute art book to Street Fighter, which was actually released in 1987. This is a pretty thick 320-page paperback. It doesn't come with a dust jacket like the Japanese edition. On the non-glossy pages are printed with over 1500 illustrations, paintings and sketches. The spine is a bit inflexible for a book this thick and will definitely have wrinkles if you open the pages too wide.
The illustrations are divided into chapters by artists, namely:
* Akiman
* Kinu Nishimura
* CRMK
* Daigo Ikeno
* Daichan
* Edayan
* Shinkiro
Akiman is the designer for the classic Street Fighter characters. Daigo Ikeno is the art director and character designer for Street Fighter IV. The last chapter is a collection of work from other artists.
Since this is a character based game, you'll see a lot of character designs. They are a mixture in sizes from small portraits to the full page group splash art. Most are full colored illustrations in myriad manga styles. There are captions for everything and several artists interviews.
Work comes from all the various different versions of Street Fighter, including spin-offs like Super Puzzle Fighter II, or even some SNK-vs-CAPCOM illustrations -- rivalry between King of Fighters and Street Fighter is strong and burning. Included also are the latest Street Fighter IV character profile designs used in the game.
The art here spans over an impressive 20 years, I'm very sure there will be more to come. This satisfying thick compilation is recommended to all Street Fighter fans and collectors.
If you have bought Street Fighter Tribute and Udon's Art of Capcom and like them, I'm very sure you'll like this book as well.

Something that makes this book extremely special to my mind is the illustrators comment on their work or a particular illustration. There are a few short interviews on their experiences working with Street Fighter. The art is divided into to sections devoted to Akiman, Shinkiro, Ikeno, and much more. I am very happy with my copy and appreciate the love and detail that obviously went into compiling this volume.
One note though, not all the pictures are large, but its perfectly understandable with the sheer volume of illustrations in this already very loaded book.
Highly Recommend.

This is for ANY fan of quality, detailed art. For the excellent price, you are getting a huge book filled with top notch
art geared towards anyone with an eye for talent. As a Street Fighter fan, this book also garners my accolades as an
excellent Street Fighter art resource. Makes a great coffee table book, or collector's book.
Excellent quality in ONE THICK book!! I highly recommend this whether or not you care about SF.
Wonderful addition to anyone's collection.
5 stars, marvelous.....

This book contains so much great art, if you are a fan of street fighter you must have it. There are goodies in here that you wont be able to find anywhere else. My personal favorite are the sketches from the opening of Super Street Fighter 2 where Ryu is focusing and then throws the hadouken. It's just great to be able to see sketches of the characters and even the old character illustrations from the booklets that came with the game on consoles like super nes were in there. Just Awesome. If you are an artist, prepare to be inspired by the great pieces in here.
Greatness.....hitting you square in the face! September 25, 2009

Seriously,this book is ridiculous! Everything about it is sheer excellence.The amount of art,the quality of the art,the anecdotal comments from the artists which gives you a lot of insight on their works.Simply put,this book is magnificent in every way and is a must buy for Street Fighter fans and a worthy buy for any video game fan in general.
