The SF2 E. Honda sprite has definition in his gut. The animated versions as well. Doing otherwise is not respecting the source material. He's fat AND very, very muscular.
I'm not feeling those renders yet. He needs broader shoulders, more barrel chested, less pear shaped. But overall very promising. The intensity is great, better than PCS, which looks lifeless IMO.
I would not display him with the hand slap. I don't care for "action features" in my statues.
I really want to see a different pose, that exudes his character.
