Chuck Liddell caricature

 



 

Following on with the MMA caricatures I picked a more recognisable, though no longer active, fighter. This was a fun one to illustrate but I wasn't sure how to portray him so I ended up doing two contrasting versions.

 

Chuck Liddell is a former UFC light heavy weight champion who was known for having very heavy hands. Before his decline he used to finish his bouts in devastating fashion which won him a great deal of fans.

My next one will feature the fighter who first got me interested in this sport back in 1996.

Lyoto Machida

Just as a break from working on the comic book pages I thought I'd have some fun and keep my hand in on the caricatures.

 The problem was who I should base them on?
I decided to focus on the sports and hobbies I enjoy and I like watching fight sports, boxing, muay thai, judo, kendo, all sorts, but for now thought I would focus on mixed martial arts for the time being.

Quick bio of Lyoto Machida:
 Former light heavy weight champion in the UFC and middle weight contender. His background is in Shotokan Karate before mixing in all the types of training.

Lyoto is difficult to draw because there's no real distinguishing features that make him stand out.

I'll pick a more distinctive fighter next time
