William Fong (AKA) JET3000


 

 

TFG Webmaster F. Yagami here, (left)...
 I'd like you to meet my friend, Jet. (right) 
 

 To give some back story, Jet and I originally met at a local arcade around the year 2000 when Marvel VS Capcom 2 first hit the arcade scene. We were undisputedly the top 2 players at our arcade, constantly breaking each others ridiculous win streaks (many times upwards of 20 or 30) and sending each other back to the token machine with a smile as the crowd awed. We soon became good friends and learned that we share the same passions in life: a common love for martial arts, drawing, fighting games, girls, music, and even "fighting game artwork" (namely SNK and Capcom)... Go figure.

Long story short, after countless epic matches (namely in MvC2, SFIII, Tekken Tag, Tekken 5, and Soul Calibur 2); unforgettable good times, and hundreds of drawing sessions later, Jet and I are no less than best friends for life... In fact, I consider him to be my older brother. Over the years, Jet has taught me a lot about life, as well as a lot about drawing! Alas, I'm honored to feature some of his amazing, original artwork on TFG. He has a truly natural talent, and everything he draws is completely from scratch... No tracing or copying whatsoever. I hope you enjoy his unique art style as much as I have over the years... Keep in mind the majority of the following is his "old stuff."

Jet has also drawn yours truly a handful of times... He actually drew "me" as several fighting game characters that I commonly use (and other forms of my persona).

In July 2007, Jet won 2nd place in G4's "create-a-video" Transformers Videobot contest. He drew all of the artwork in the video himself (in about 4 days) and also did ALL of the voiceovers as well! The Youtube video below was taken live on AOTS when they announced the winners... It doesn't show Jet's whole video, but the following is what was aired on G4! 
 

"Japanese animation has less frames than American." LMAO!!! Kevin is a funny guy. Anywho, check out Jet's video in it's entirety below... Jet does some pretty damn good voice acting huh? I keep telling him he could be a professional voice actor...
 

Now for a taste of Jet's humor... The first series is properly entitled, "Akuma in the morning"... Self explanatory and simply brilliant if you ask me.

Next up, "The Shadowlootron." Yes, Shadowloo pretty much meets Transformers in this one... I swear, only Jet could think something like this up. Never can I look at the following series of pictures and not laugh.

"Vehicle mode"... Vega is the grill, and somehow, Sagat and Balrog = wheels?!? XD

Last, but not least, is a hilarious Dan comic Jet imagined a few years ago (while at work).
 

These go in order, so view them left to right (top to bottom).
