First post – and it’s Fedor Emelianeko

Welcome to The Fight Nerd’s art blog! Most of you do not know how I got my start in MMA and it was through my illustration and design work. It is not an easy business to get into, but I am still with it and have now decided to take a new direction with my doodles and share them with you guys on (ideally) a daily basis!

So check back here every day for new doodles, today is the start of this endeavor and to honor that, why not start with the #1 ranked Heavyweight fighter in MMA, Fedor Emelianeko! This was done in pen and ink, the big black parts were done in photoshop to make my life easier. The reference is a shot I took at a press conference that was also my first ever gig with Sherdog!
