Miss X Accepts Your Challenge

Drawn for and the 'ABC Project.'

I was tasked to draw Miss X from SNK Gals; an "All Girl" fighting game from SNK for The Neo Geo Pocket Color. It's a wonder I never played it. XD
And as you might assume; being an all girl game Miss X would be female. And as you can tell; she looks like's a gender-bent Iori.

Well the truth is, it's not a gender-bent Iori. It's the real Iori in drag. XD
But rather than make this a joke pic; I decided to take things a bit more seriously despite the context.
For you see, even though this is Iori in a dress....it's still f**king Iori. He's one of the most insanely awesome fighters not only from SNK; but all other fighting games and fighting game company makers included.

So if you have awesome powers like Iori; and you can pull the look off right....you can wear whatever the Hell you want.
And he's awaiting the two female fighters from the same game who made it this far: Yuri and Shiki. Originally Yuri was going to be Nakoruru. But both Nakoruru and Shiki were from another fighting game of SNK's called Samurai Shodown. I figure I needed at least one fighter from the same series Iori is from; that being King of Fighters. So Nakoruru was replaced with Yuri.
I stuck with Shiki because I love her design.

And as you can tell from his stance; Iori is not to be trifled with so lightly: even if he's wearing a dress. Although I never played the game nor figured out why Iori dressed this way; I still wanted to make something awesome for me entry.
I for one think I succeeded. We're starting off a new year with newer rendering techniques right methinks.

Iori, Yuri and Shiki belong to SNK
