Artist's Comments

Ah, now this pic definitely has some dated elements to it, but it's still one of my favorites. I guess it helps that I love that game so much.

Anyway, this was the first picture I worked on before the MMX and Wildflowers ones, all three for the same AWA. You can tell there was a much greater attention to detail here than in the pictures that followed, and I'm really glad things turned out that way really. I actually had drawn the characters earlier that week, but all the arranging and coloring was all done in the same night. It really helped that I was working from a vivid mental image and a decent thumbnail, otherwise this pic coulda gone sour fast. This pic was definitely the most deserving of the three to get that kinda treatment though, I felt.

Anywho, someday I owe my friend a group picture of everyone in their "Shamanized" forms, so expect to see them again sometime.


And y'know, one of these guys should so totally have been in MvC2. WTF is an Amingo?! Sentinel bait, that's what!!

Heheh. Thanks for acknowledging some sense of perspective. I remember there was a point in my thumbnails where I just had to say "screw the ground...they're standing on some kinda rocks." Luckily that mindset got the picture done on time, at the very least.

HOLY CRAP!
This is freaking awesome!
BoF II, only one of the best and most underrated game EVER!
Ryu could easily have replace Hayato.
Nina could have easily been storm.
Rand-->Juggz
Only characters I cant see in it are Bow and Jean.
My fav character was Stan. Sure his Defense wasnt so great but he's a FREAKING MONKEY!!!!
Anyways. Great picture, great colors, the perspective, overall, just plain awesome!
:iconxcbdh:
You couldn't picture Jean!? OMG, he SO coulda replaced Amingo! A suave french talkin' frog could beat out a retarded Taco Bell everytime! Can't argue against Storm and Juggz though, they were already in other games, and plus, y'know, he's the Juggernaut.

But yeah, Hayato was a bit of a stretch. Seein' the yet nameless Ryu turn into one of his dragon forms for a special would have been extremely sweet, and while the Son Son homage was delightfully retro, I think Katt would have brought more personality to the table with her attacks. Rand woulda been great in there too, I mean c'mon, SERVBOT?! I dunno why Capcom was so eager to BS a roster that could compete with Marvel's, and STILL let Cable get away with cleaning the floor with all of them.

Gawd, and y'know, I ignored Stan for a good portion of the game, and lived to regret it later on. I had to spend a good couple hours walking back and forth along the first four tiles of his solo level to get him at a decent strength to continue. He was gettin' his butt handed to him if I walked any farther, any sooner. Such a hard game!!

Yeah I cant really picture Jean. Aside from his fencing attacks he doesnt bring much. His only real feature would be turning into a giant frog in a super.
About Nina and taking Storm, They basically could have had the same escat moves. They both fly, Nina has thunder attaks and Wind spells She can do the Hail Storm special. Heck she has fire as well. Same goes with Rand taking Juggz. They are just power houses. But Storm and Juggz are already know and dont need the exposure.

Yeah Capcom screwed themselves. They gave all the top tiers to Marvel.
Captain Commando owns in his own right. =D

Haha yeah I remember Stans solo mission. His boss fight with the one yellow monkey as the part of the castle fell was hard as hell.

Boy does this bring back a lot of memories of the game, great work!

(examine Machines with Nina3 as the head)

"This machine is too complex for Nina to understand."

Nina: Oh really? Ryu, pass me your sword. I can hotwire this thing faster than Rei can mug someone...

Ryu: (hands sword) Shouldn't we let Momo do this
:iconsyreene:
Dated or not, still a fun game to play. ;)

Oh no, I was referring to my drawing. Certainly the game is timeless!
