170. Brown VS Cameron

For those not in the know of current British Politics (you’re missing out, clearly) there’s a bit of competition between Gordon Brown (Prime Minister, left) and David Cameron (Leader of the opposition, right).

Just to clarify, I’m not some angry youth trying to project my voice, it all started with a rather cool photo on the front of the Guardian Newspaper last week. Brown and Cameron were both at a 38% poll and the photo comparing each other made me instantly think of versus screens (see inspiration) on all fighting games.

Although I’m sure they wouldn’t lift a fist to each other (well, some might, and some have) the photo had that kind of feeling to it all. Besides, it’s put an interesting spin on politics for me at least!

This is nothing too special, I just wanted a chance to draw these two characters. Very simple colour with lots of cheap Street Fighter style effects – especially the ‘VS’ text which I thought was unique until I spotted Street Fighter Alpha 2′s…

PS: I would appreciate it if you kept your views on the fat bald men of politics to yourself!

So, what do you think?

   Cool stuff, I like the big forehead of Cameron! And as usual Brown is looking grumpy. He just doesn’t seem to do smiles does he!

   The Street Fighter versus thing works really well too, nice job

   I really like this one, it’s cool that you can make 2 very uncool looking people look bad ass.
