Well, I've decided to join the fight. I don't have very much to blow people's minds yet. I just started on a quick sketch of my character and did some tests for the hair.
Character Background
I'm basing this character loosely on myself, but my character will be a typical hardcore/punk/emo kid (Fuck I hate emo music!).
So going the fitted jeans, tee (or hoodie, not sure yet), pair of Nike Terminators, snakebite piercings, sleeve tattoos.
If any of you have ever been to a hardcore show and been in the mosh, you know these hardcore kids pack a mean punch and kick. So I figured, why not take what I love most and put it into a fighter character.
I'll quick rambling and here's the sketch I did.

It is a very early sketch and will need some serious detailing. But C&C welcome.
Special Ability
My character is going to have a firey sort of effect coming from his hands as his special attack. Either a power punch of some kind or a fireball (like Ken/Ryu/Akuma).
More to come shortly. I hope to have a completed concept done by the weekend.

Thanks for the feedback, I've really slacked off on this entry. I'll definately use this weekend to complete the concept.
EIN: I like the tattoo idea. I wasn't sure what kind of artwork I wanted to use. I'll take it into consideration.
necrobatore666: Yeah, I think the backpack is the go as well. Oh and "them kids"... I am one of "them kids"! What are you trying to say? :P
tojo: Aerosol attack ey? I was considering putting spraypaint cans sticking from his backpack. As for a skateboard weapon... I'll look into that and see what I can come up with.

Okay, I thought I'd stay out of photoshop for a while and get stuck into the 3D.
I've built a base mesh to bring into ZBrush, the mesh itself isn't built all that great. Had to keep it all quads for best ZBrush smoothing.

This is my first attempt at ZBrush, so I'm open for all C&C to help me made this model more solid. It's still at low divisions so it's not ultra smooth but I'm working my way up slowly. It's only the arm for now but will be pushing myself more and more as I get familiar with ZBrush.
