No doubt they are unique and I'm sure any true SNK fan would be drooling looking at them. Thanks for sharing them Shame you can't remember anything more about the game! Would have been really interesting to know more. Rock being one of my favourite characters SNK designed hasn't really appeared in many games after Mark of the Wolves (Or not many that come to mind) plus the older Terry was another favourite part of the game for me. Such a shame the sequel never happened! Yes always taking pictures is a must!
Hello It's not a picture of the Bike of the SNK Team ? SNK sponsor an team for bike japan league in 95', you have an article on it in the neogeofrak
I understand that in terms of production that often they were more concerned with the box look than having one nice painting. It is easier to use the figures for multiple places this way and they were in the business of selling games not artwork. Still is too bad that the Shock Troopers cover is broken up into seperate pieces. It would have looked great as one piece. Do you have any full size cover paintings with all the characters together like this?
I showed a photo of the Twinkle Star cover art (on page 1) with all the characters together, and I do have most of the full insert cover arts. Ninja Master's Original Ninja Master's pencil sketch from the Ninja Master's mook. This is one of my most cherished pieces and the next art that I will have professionally framed.
FYI my money is on that 'bike being a modified Honda CBR900RR Fireblade. With a full tank of fuel and a rider on it you're looking at around 0.5 BHP / Kg. To put that into perspective that is about the same power to weight ratio as a Bugatti Veyron with fuel and a driver. I've also been slacking on merginating as of late. I will resume when I have the time
Love the motorcycle and the ninja masters. Great stuff. About the twinkle stars - that doesn't appear to the cover though, image doesn't match? Am I missing something? She is winking on your piece but not on the covers. Any more covers to post? Love seeing these. Thanks for posting your piece too buyatari.
buyatari, do you have a better picture of that piece? As you can tell by my username I am a fan of that title but the photo is fuzzy and I am straining my neck looking at it sideways
Fatal Fury arts coming..... Terry Bogard and Rock Howard, with Kain Heinlein Rock Howard full color art Mark of the Wolves: Rock Howard One of my favorite original artworks. This is an absolute masterpiece!!!! .
I'm not so sure on that one but it is hard to tell from a picture. Is that on acetate? If so I'm guessing the black line was traced or transfered from the original sketch onto the acetate and then colored in.
Truly amazing Dion! Loving the art pieces, thank you for sharing! The last one as you said is a true masterpiece looks awesome!
The pictures are taken from the art itself. I don't think any of them were published in any book. The Fatal Fury is clearly the best of the collection. It is a HUGE painting and was the published cartridge cover.
took me a while to figure that out too. thanks for the pics buyatari. the burnout lightbulb is probably the best clue along with the high up perspective
