Old interview with Shumpnations

Kinu Nishumura

Kinu Nishumura began working at capcom in 1991.Her real name is unknown -as her alias originated from her mother’s maiden name- and she is affectionately referred to as “Kinu-sensei”.She has worked of Street Fighter III,New Generation and 2nd Impact,999,and Code of Princess.
Kinu is without a doubt my absolute favorite illustrator.regardless or medium.Absolutely Everything from her composition,to how she draws her female characters. Her use of color is impeccable and she absolutely slays in playful art pieces

Daigo Ikeno

Daigo Ikeno began working for Capcom in 1994.He is known for his work on Street Fighter III:Third Strike,Devil Mat Cry,CvS2,and Street Fighter IV.
Ikeno has a keen eye for martial art posing that I havent seen matched other than by Akira Toriyama.He is phenomenal at group compositions.

Edayan

Edayan is a Capcom artist best known for his work Rival Schools and Ace Attorney,but he still manages to do work on the Street Fighter series,including his phenomenal work on the SFII Turbo Revival.
His pen name “Edayan” was a nickname used by his older brother when they were younger. Edayan was hired by Capcom after entering a Darkstalkers drawing contest for Capcom.

The way Edayan he draws faces and expressions really makes his characters stand out. His characters always seem to be moving, even when simply standing upright. He’s also a master at making clothing and other minute details stand out. Edayan is a master artist and one of my favorite artist.
