It was mentioned in the patch notes for yesterday’s Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics that there’d be a new piece of artwork added and now, with the patch live, we can actually see it for ourselves.
Showcasing some of the most iconic Capcom and Marvel characters together, it definitely shows us that Shinkiro’s mastery of art hasn’t deteriorated one bit and his pieces are still as stunning as ever.
Shinkiro did many of the art pieces for the pre-release promotion for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, drawing the majority of that game’s cast at the time.
He also did the box art for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 so it’s definitely not the first time we see his talents lent to the series, as he’s done several other pieces back during Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s heyday as well.
That said, it’s cool to see him try his hand at some of the more iconic Marvel vs. Capcom 2 characters as well like Psylocke, Blackheart and Capcom’s very own Captain Commando.
You can check out Shinkiro’s art in all of its glory below and of course also in the in-game gallery if you own Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
