Coming off of Vega I had a couple basic color variants to work on. It's always a bit tempting to just make one figure then run through all their color variants. I've done it on occasion en route to another piece. Make an alternate head, arm, or paint it one color before shifting into the other. I think if I wasn't making listings, that's how I'd be doing all customs. Just remake after remake until the body was unuseable. Anyway, this one comes as something of a followup to the previous red variant Ryu.

Straight repaint of Ryu, with the hair resculpted.
