Over on X, artist Zero_Setsu has been uploading a variety of cool artwork with some of them inspired by specific artists.
This post is going to focus on two specific pieces which were aimed at emulating Daigo Ikeno’s style who was the illustrator on the fighting game community favorite Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, though Zero_Setsu isn’t content with just drawing the Street Fighter characters as such but instead takes it one piece further.
While emulating the pre-match portraits for franchise figureheads Ryu and Ken, Zero_Setsu instead chose to put in two other very famous figures — from one of the most famous manga series out there.
Indeed, in these artworks we get to see a glimpse of what a fighting game with Daigo Ikeno art might have looked liked if based on one of the biggest intellectual properties in the world, One Piece.
Sanji takes on the role of Ken while Zoro embodies Ryu in these amazing pieces that really do feel on par with what Daigo Ikeno produced Capcom’s 1999 game back in the day.
