Artwork about video games and comics.
Japanese artist BENGUS drew all these character portraits for Capcom’s MARVEL SUPER HEROES vs. STREET FIGHTER video game back in the late 1990s, and I want to share them with you. But instead of just posting a bunch of pictures you can find online, I went and cut all the characters off the backgrounds — So click each image to get to some (fairly) hi-res, PNG files with transparent backgrounds that you can use to do whatever you want with.
I love this particular set of portraits, because all of them are from a perspective where the viewer is looking down on the characters. That’s pretty unusual, as most of these kinds of things are fairly straight-on shots. It’s a nice change of pace.
Spider-Man is the exception, although given how much wall-crawling that guy does, it’s kind of hard to tell. Besides, it’s just cool to see Bengus give us a very 1990s Mark Bagley-style Spider-Man pose.
Anyways, enjoy these cool drawings of video game and comic book characters!



All of these characters are owned by either Marvel Comics or Capcom.
