I just googled "Bengus" and I can see this guy has done some really nice art in the past. Including specific pictures that I have really liked for years. Even as someone who has a strong dislike for the anime art style, these faces look great.

All the cutscene SFV art so far looks bad to me. Vegas claws look like one of those wirey garden rakes and many of the faces look like something doodled on a napkin. Hard to believe the same artist is responsible for both. I guess people just ran out of time and had to rush things through.

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is that they gave him half a work day to do all the art for the game's cut scenes.

I'll be the first to jump on white-washing, but in this case, I don't think it's true.

Many of Bengus' story mode drawings have washed out color palettes.

I mean look at Laura, her face is dark, but her arm is bright. There's a random light source on her arm, and everything around it is lit up (including Sean's face).
She has a blue light source on her stomach. I'm not sure you can call this white washing...more like blue-washing.

Man Sean lookin' like someone slapped him in the face with a slice of baloney lol
 
I'm still waiting to see how much in-game currency is going to be needed to buy a single character and how much you can expect to earn from online fights and daily challenges.

They made a recent statement about this. They basically said it's going to be front loaded with the single player stuff dropping a lot. They also said the amount you get will be skill based but the missions should help balance that.

They said if you play every other day you should be able to buy all the champs with IP with no issue.

And do what exactly "every other day?" I'm skeptical.
 
Bengus has really let me down with his V art. It's awful.

Edit: I'm also pissed with Capcom for giving it the A-Okay tbh.
 
Besides the Seanie Brown look, my brain can't seem to reconcile Laura's position in that scene. It's like he started drawing her as if they were standing and she came up behind him, and then got further and was like "actually maybe they're lying on a couch or something."
 
Can only imagine that these images exist due to the actual story mode being delayed until June? I don't expect Capcom planned to ship the game incomplete.

I figure they were under the gun to release this game on time so the art wasn't finished. I do think it would look pretty good if they could give it a little more detail, though. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll bother to update the art in a patch down the line.

I thought these stills were from the character's story modes, which the game is shipping with. It's the big fancy story with in-engine cutscenes that got delayed.

Brilliantly talented people don't always work in a style that the mainstream appreciates. I prefer his old work, especially Darkstalkers and Marvel 1, but I think it's more likely he got sick of doing his old style and wanted to make it more abstracted and stylized.

Season 2

Akuma
Dudley
Q
Doctrine Dark
Skullomania
Sho (new character)

One can dream...
Click to expand...

My guesses for Season 2 are

Akuma (popular sf2)
Sodom (wildcard that was gonna be in originally, hasnt been in sf in awhile)
Sakura (popular alpha (I expect somewhat of a rework like dhalsim))
Dudley (popular sf3)
Oro (wild card that hasnt been seen in awhile (the way this character plays will be quite different I suspect)
Viper (popular sf4 (probably gonna be reworked a little to keep her more honest)

Mine for S2 are

Evil Ryu
C Viper
Sakura
Necro
Tom (counts as new character)
A new Female character for the Illuminati or Kolin made into a character (whichever suits the story better)

Basically same as my guesses, though I'd remove 2 of those for 1 new character, and 1 for Sagat returning.

Only reason I didnt include Sagat is because if Capcom sticks to their guns about character variety I doubt they will include two shoto ish like characters in one season but who knows, either way Sagat will be in the game eventually.

If we get a new character I do hope it is Kolin.

This is a solid list. Sagat has to come at some point, though I'm not sure if it's in the first 2 years. They can build a lot of hype story-wise now that he's done a face turn.
 
For Season 2 I think they'll go for a similar lay-out as the first season:

SF Icon: Akuma
SF Icon: Sakura
SF3 Favourite: Dudley/Makoto
Returning SF: Sodom/Eagle
Returning SF: Oro/Sean/Q
SF4 Favourite: C.Viper
New Character
 
I don't understand why some of these stills from story mode look so ugly

I mean, this is Bengus. Bengus! The dude who did this! One of my favorite Capcom artists!

Did Capcom give him like three days to draw all of these or something?

How the mighty has fallen...

Either this is a sign its a rush job or Bengus is slipping in quality.
 
KingBroly said:
I think rush job. There's too many stills they've shown that just look terrible.

"Hey Bengus, we just realized we can't ship story mode until June, but can you just have 300 drawings for our progress report on Friday? We'll give you like 50 dollars. Thanks."

Truth is stranger than fiction, going with the "you have one day to finish it okthxbye"
 
ElTopo said:
Damn.

You would think someone at Capcom would have looked at the first few drawings he did and hire someone else?
Click to expand...

The way I look at it, if it comes under enough criticism, Capcom can release an update that gets rid of his art in place of someone else's. This game is supposed to last for 5+ years, no way they can keep that around.
 
Bengus' style changed from the 15 years he hasn't worked at capcom. Plus he works almost exclusively digitally these days. He has plenty of great illustrations on his twitter. He's obviously still a great artist. Sf5 work was rushed.

One would think the other story mode that is coming out was the real one but capcom/Sony didn't want a crisis on their hand for not having story mode on release

Worth reposting again that there's precedence of Bengus slipping...

Let's dispel this notion that Bengus doesn't know what he's doing. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Bengus is undertaking a systematic effort to change his artwork, to make his style more like the rest of the world. That's why we've got Charlie Brown Sean, and giraffe neck Chun, and blonde/brown Vega, and moeblob Cammy. It is a systematic effort to change his artstyle.
