STUDIO 4C on STREET FIGHTER
Just learned that Studio 4C (koji morimoto and Jiro Kanai) worked on the cinematics for Street Fighter 4. Studio 4C is the company, that worked on the awesome Tekkon Kinkreet movie. Quick note -we will have the Tekkon Kinkreet artbooks in stock later this month. We also have less than a handful of Koji Morimoto's Orange artbook in stock now. Above image is from the Street fighter Tribute book from Udon. We will have the softcover edition of this book in September.
For those who don't know Tekkon Kinkreet - here's a sample. ( the film is on video now - and features some of the best location designs and unique character designs we have seen.)
