Oil on canvas AOF KOF 96 background. Update:framed!

[Darklighterx]

Finally! After 5 years and 9 months of waiting, this painting is finally here.

I commissioned my brother to do this rendition of my favorite KOF Background:

It is supposed to be the AOF version at dusk, but he took some liberties in recreating it. The canvas measures 36x24 inches and is done in oil.

Now to find a suitable frame for it. Perhaps custom.

**Update.
Had the canvas framed. I didn't want something to extravagant:

Cool idea for a painting, definitely a great decorative item for a Neo Geo fan's living room.

Hey, that's fun.
That's one of my favorite backgrounds (music too) in 96.
Big canvas too, neat piece man.

Same here, fave BG and music from 96.

Damn, I'd love to have an oil painting of a BG of my choice, that'd be bad ass.

Very cool idea and painting. I love that stage and bg music too. Nice job.

 

[Cavalry]

Awesome, that my favorite stage too. Can I have it? !?!>!>

 

[SPINMASTER X]

Wow! I like that!

Pretty cool painting, that should look sweet hanging in the game room.

Haven't played '96 in a long time, but I think the Boss Team bg was my favorite (gondola tunnel with the crowd in the back.)

I wanted to look at all the KOF96 BGs and I googled it and came across this thread by you:

Is that the initial thread to start the painting back from 2006?

Yes, sir. Can you believe it took this long? No wonder artists are starving!

 

[Ami Tajiri]

That is sweet! Man, I can't paint to save my life. I envy your brother.

 

[Professor Denim]

Nice painting! Every time i think of KoF 96 this background comes to mind. Gongrats!

 

[Cavalry]

I did my best to get just the pic, so awesome.

 

[Gowcaizer]

Very coool!! i would like to have something like that hanging on my wall, congrats!!!!

Great work, man. Seriously, I'd hang that up in a gameroom for certain. It's far and away my favorite stage in '96.

 

[Darklighterx]

Shameless bump!

Got it framed.

What really makes it great is how well it stands on its own. One needn't be familiar with the AOF/KOF games to appreciate the personality of this scene. That's true art!
