Not Spider-Man but Venom, not Ryu but Sagat. For some reason, I am not into the good guys, I always liked the bad guys. Gerardo Sandoval: Venom, Wolverine, Sagat, or Zangief. In terms of personality, Viewtiful Joe was great fun to portray because of his big, in your face attitude. I would have to say that Morrigan was the most fun to draw from the Capcom side because she had a unique offbeat design. It was also great fun to draw the anime and cartoon characters as Zero and Viewtiful Joe. A great counterpoint to the hard edges of Iron Man was the organic and feminine forms of Storm and Morrigan.

Trying to integrate the different art genres into one story universe took some thought and calibration. Others such as Viewtiful Joe are very cartoony. The challenging part is that some of the Capcom characters are on the very realistic end of the spectrum, such as Chris Redfield. I did my homework and did a fair amount of research, which included discussing the characters with my son and some of his friends. A big part of my job is to make sure to be respectful by acknowledging that there are people very passionate about these characters. Capcom, being the steward of these characters, as well as the diehard fans of them, care a lot about how they are portrayed. Sean Chen: First and foremost, I wanted to make sure that they all appeared and acted in character. For me this opportunity was a huge surprise because I always wanted to do a art piece and I never thought that it could be possible.īeing more familiar with drawing characters from the Marvel Universe, what approach did you take when creating your own renditions of characters from the Capcom universe? I really loved Capcom and everything Street Fighter.

Gerardo Sandoval: When I was younger I was a gamer. They were all well designed, both visually and in personality and abilities. Researching the few characters that I didn’t know too well turned me into a fan. While I was unfamiliar with some of them, they were all great fun to draw. It was a great opportunity to draw many of the iconic Marvel heroes that I loved, as well as some of the well-known Capcom characters. Sean Chen: I knew it was going to be lots of fun.
