Founded in 2915E.Y., the Noah's Ark Mixed Martial Arts Association (NAMMAA) is an intergalactic fighters’ association dedicated to the regulation and promotion of combat sports among all sentient species.
Every 10 years, the NAMMAA hosts a tournament where the top fighters from all across the universe are invited to compete for the title of the Universe’s Greatest Fighter. This year, for the 100th anniversary, the tournament is being held on NAMMAA’s home planet, Sol III, colloquially known as Planet Earth…
Noah's Ark: SHOWDOWN is an art book inspired by fighting game concept art, illustrations, and design philosophies. From arcade machine hits in the 80's to the global phenomenon the genre is today, the biggest fighting game titles distinguished their identity through unforgettable visual direction and character design. This book is a tribute to the illustrators and designers who gave every iconic fighting game their soul.
Each of our 22 incredible artists (go ahead and click the links on the ARTISTS panel!) designed a character competing in the 100th E.Y. anniversary NA: SHOWDOWN tournament. In this book, you'll be see a comprehensive design sheet for each character, with a biography, artwork, and detailed concept notes. They're followed by countless pages of full-colour illustrations, made just for this project. (We're not game devs after all, we're illustrators!)
We've already completed all of the artwork for this book! Will you help us make it real?
