News: Artist takes Street Fighter 3D
Video game artist Mike Kime knows a thing or two about painting in broad strokes.

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.
