This entry is a follow up to the one I posted on Arjun. This has to do with the new character reveals for Season 4 of Street Fighter 6. I said that the design behind Arjun was poorly executed. His appearance, and costume was essentially a copy of the concept art for Ryu in SF6. It was bland, and lackluster, and made me think that the team’s Senior Designer… ## [Arjun in Street Fighter 6, a great warrior with a mediocre design](https://streetwriterpodcast.blogspot.com/2026/06/arjun-in-street-fighter-6-great-warrior.html) _2026-06-07 · NoeV · Street Writer: The Word Warrior_ Hello friends, it’s been a few years since I’ve talked about Street Fighter 6 .

Kirk | Visual Artist | Author_ A few years ago I did a series of silverpoint miniatures broadly called The Human Organizations Project with subsets such as The Committee, The Symphonists and The Secret Society.

Kirk | Visual Artist | Author_ Since my last post I’ve been continuing the cycle of work started in January.

Kirk | Visual Artist | Author_ I’m finding watercolour a good antidote, or at least coping mechanism, for the monochrome of the Ontario winter. These pieces started as ink line drawings done with a dip pen, which I later painted with watercolours. This is essentially Arthur Rackham’s technique. The first image, Agitator, was adapted from a tiny pencil sketch I made...

Kirk | Visual Artist | Author_ There are 120,000 + species of flies in the world. Flies have many associations, some darker than others.

Kirk | Visual Artist | Author_ I’ve been working in graphite for the last couple of weeks, playing with line and values. Graphite is wonderfully suited to working out visual ideas without distraction. These two pieces are quite small, but incorporate a lot of detail. The end result is not unlike my silverpoint work, probably due to my use of a...
