I know it’s not actually a fighting competition, but I’ve really been into the look of fighting games recently, and wanted to try making something that looked like one! I originally wanted to animate it, but I realized I don’t actually know enough about fighting games to make it look accurate, so I just had it look like the very start of the match, right before the timer starts ticking down.
BTW, I really really like Zest’s design! They’re style is super cool, and I love the colors! I think if I ever did animate this, one of their animations would have to include biting straight out of a lemon, like that one scene from Kill La Kill.
