Description
A long time ago, when I was a wee little lad of 10, I came across a game called Street fighter 2. I wasn't a big fan of the game then but there was one character I thought looked really cool... and his name was Guile...Well.. no... obviously it wasn't guile otherwise this would be a fan art of him. It was Balrog. I really didn't know anything about the character... I just thought he looked cool. I spent many moons doodling him on my notebooks in school and... they all sucked.
So this is me retreading old ground. It may not compare to the artwork of Udon.. but its still crap loads better than my old drawings..

I don't see how Claw can be a ninja, He's too handsome.

yup.. I think that's the story as to why he wears a mask. That, and to protect his face

Vega/Balrog was always one of my favorites as well. Used to school with him in Street Fighter II.

Lol, I've been playing street fighter since the first game was out in arcades, Vega is my fave so I think I would know who that is. Besides google "Vega Street Fighter" and you'll see!

Yeah, I know. But I played the japanese version of Street fighter 2 first so I know the name changes. It just bugged me that the main bad guy of Street fighter 2 is named after Mike Tyson.

Thanks for the fave and comment!
Well, I don't think he's hot though I do think he's a cool design... a bull fighting ninja with iron claws... that's just kick @ss!

Again, nice work! I like the pose and shading, and the background is well done, too.

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
I wanted the background to be a throwback to his old stage from Street fighter 2.

hmmm just to correct you that isn't balrog thats vega, balrog is the boxer. but very nice fan art none the less nice job.

Thanks!
Actually I'm just refusing to acknowledge the name change. They renamed the bad guys to avoid a lawsuit. M Bison (the boxer), sounding like Mike Tyson and all...

Wierd, but that makes sense I guess. I still like Vega though, it suits him and plus thats what I've known him as my whole life so thats what I call him. Still nice work!

Hehe.. Vega was actually M. Bison's real name.
I suppose it still makes sense for Balrog here to be renamed "Vega" since it is a spanish sounding name.
