Artist takes Street Fighter 3D

Video game artist Mike Kime knows a thing or two about painting in broad strokes. His website showcases a variety of two- and three-dimensional art alongside a resume that includes his current position at Epic Games as well as co-founding Flashbang Studios, creators of casual games like Glow Worm. This year, he's made waves by merging two very different worlds--the cartoony characters of Street Fighter with the realistic grittiness of today's most popular games. With the debut of his latest art pieces and the upcoming release of Super Street Fighter IV, we talked to Mike about his work and how he's made some of gaming's most outlandish characters look real.
