Description Finally I can post this bad boy, I was amazingly fortunate enough to be asked by Capcom to do a piece for Marvel vs Capcom 3. For anyone who's known me for any length of time you'll know this is a dream come true. 12 years ago when I got into games it was my dream to work for Capcom one day, Bengus, Shoei and Akiman are gods of my style universe. They heavily shaped my early years. This is a huge win for me on every level. No words do it justice!!

This is great! I prefer this to the final box art they used - the characters feel more like themselves.

Out of curiosity, how long did this take you?

honestly like 2 1/2 weeks!! Every character is rendered to the waist and on they're own layer as requested by client. For instance, even though you only see Spidey's face there's way more to him etc, biggest piece I've done

Yeah, like Captain America's outfit is the most serious thing ever. C'mon, a "overpatriot" blue outfit with two little wings in the head? Are you kidding me?
Zero is pretty awesome, best character in the Megaman series, despite the appearance. DWI.
