TFG Webmaster
F.Yagami here...
Allow me to introduce TFG's Featured Artist:
 BACKSTORY:
Jet and I originally met at a mall arcade around the year 2000,
when Marvel VS Capcom 2
first hit arcades. Ahh the memories. . . we were undisputedly the top
two players at our local arcade. Over time, Jet
and I became known among the regulars for breaking each other's
ridiculous win streaks (usually upwards of 30 to 40 wins) upon arrival
to the arcade (no mercy for the mall scrubs!). After a few insanely close matches, eventually, one of us
would send the other back to the token machine with a "good game,"
leaving the crowd in awe. Furthermore, we were both known for being
proficient with Guile in our MVC2
teams (which was ironic, since nobody used Guile in MVC2).
This only added fuel to our rivalry, of course. . .
Some time later, we crossed paths at a local coffee shop. I saw Jet
drawing in a sketchbook at his table, something that immediately caught my attention
(being a casual pencil artist myself). He had a hot girl with him too,
which also caught my attention. lol. Long story short, it wasn't long before we became
good friends after discovering we share similar passions in
life. . . a love for drawing since childhood, martial arts, collecting toys,
Marvel comics, Asian culture (although that's a
given for Jet), a similar taste in music, and of course, fighting games.
Even back then, we shared the same appreciation for artwork - more specifically:
Marvel, Capcom, SNK & Namco art! Upon realizing this, there's no doubt that I found a kindred spirit.
One of Jet's good friends at the time (and rival in X-Men VS Street
Fighter), Jose (JudoDarkFist), also became a lifelong friend of
mine. We would soon be dubbed "The Grandmasters". Long story
short, we've been friends almost 20 years.

Tournament, Tekken 5, etc)... 100's of drawing sessions... Travels to distant lands...
and after all the unforgettable, crazy good times, we're family. Not to be sappy here, but
I'm a lucky guy to have met such true and lifelong friends.

Over the years, Jet has taught me a lot about
life (while I've taught him the ways of TEKKEN  ).
More importantly (for this page), Jet has taught me eons regarding the art
of Drawing! That said, I'm proud to feature some of JET3000's amazing,
hilarious, and inspiring
artwork on The Fighters Generation. Please keep in mind everything
Jet draws is completely from scratch (no tracing or copying whatsoever). I hope
you can appreciate his unique art style (and sense of humor) as much as I have over the
years. Also note that
some art on this page he drew 10+ years ago.

In June 2012, Jet was
asked to create the official poster art for major fighting game tournament, CEO
2012. This ended up being his biggest art project to date, as he drew a ton
of different characters. I had the privilege of inputting a few suggestions on
which characters he should draw for the poster (which was quite fun, let me tell
you). All of this was drawn on tablet. |

Back in April 2009, Jet was
asked to do the prologue and epilogue artwork for Tony V's short film, The
Shadow's Ambition... This artwork was done solely on the computer with a pen
tablet and mouse, a new medium for Jet, but his style definitely shows through!
And by the way, he whipped these up in about 2 days flat. |

Get ready... |

Jet has also drawn yours truly a handful of times, and he does manage
to capture my aura if I do say so myself. Jet also portrayed me as
several characters that I'm known for using in games. xD Also shown are some
drawings of friends of ours.
Now
for some of Jet's comical stuff. The first series is properly entitled "Akuma
in the morning".... Self explanatory and simply brilliant if you ask
me. These were created in 2003.
These go in order - left to right & top to bottom. Enjoy!
