As video game culture continues to expand, fans are constantly hypothesizing what mashups of radically different series would look like. Hell, the fighting genre is full of them, what with the million and one crossovers Capcom produced over the years, and it’s fun to dream up what other shenanigans the Street Fighter cast would get into if they were plopped down in an entirely different universe.
Today, we want to share the products of one such dream.
A couple of days ago, concept artist Anthony Jones shared a handful of absolutely gorgeous pieces that depict what some of our favorite World Warriors would look like if they stepped into a dystopic future where body modifications were commonplace. As you can see in the gallery below, this offers us a radically different yet wholly amazing take on the characters we’ve known for nearly two decades.
While this artwork keeps some very distinct parts of each fighter’s traditional look (Guile’s hair, Chun-Li’s puffy sleeves), the dramatic twist of theme makes each piece a fantastic departure from what we’re used to seeing of these characters.
For more of Anthony’s work, feel free to visit his personal website as well as his ArtStation portfolio. There’s a ton of great stuff to be found.
