I've included 2pgs, thumbnails and a closeup of my favourite panel.
Here's a little blurb from the writers (Matt Moylan) website, lilformers with an explanation of the project
"...Recently UDON was invited to be part of the new Street Fighter Art Comic Anthology (ストリートファイター アート・コミック・アンソロジー), by Japanese publisher Enterbrain(best known as publishers of Japanese video game magazines such as Famitsu and Arcadia). UDON did a 20 page story in the book which also contains new material from SF manga artists Masahiko Nakahira, Masomi Kanzaki, Mami Itou, and others...each chapter of the 20 page story is by a different UDON artist - Chamba, Long Vo, Joe Vriens, Omar Dogan, and Joe Ng (with inks/colours on the Ng part by Crystal Reid/Espen Grundetjern)..."
My four pages featured C.VIper of Streetfighter 4 squared off against Guile in an explosive battle
In typical Joe Vriens fashion-I tried to bust out a new style while on the job-a common mistake I've been repeating as of late...why? probably that silly artistic ego combined with trying to push myself on every project that comes my way.
The negative: I put a lot of pressure and stress on myself considering there's a deadline and I'm basically making up the style as I go-evolving with each page-forcing me to revisit a previous page and updating the look to match newer ones...
The positive: by going the extra mile on each drawing I learn at a much faster rate. It seems that pressure can be an asset in some circumstances-in spite of how much I hate it.
One day I shall perfect my process...and end my pain...one day...
until then enjoy the suffering I inflict upon myself...

that electrocution panel is sick! poor guile. Nice look at your thumbnails too.
Adam Lucas: thanks Adam! ya those effects was quite the challenge-I don't really know my way around this are very well-reworked that panel a few times adding more layers as I went along :P
Oh man, I am so itching for this book! Guile is my usual main in any SF but C.Viper is one awesome character as well. I liked how worried Guile is looking in there. And thanks for the extra bust on miss Viper there Joe! You make the fans very happy today.
Red White: this was quite the challenge-new style plus deadline was tricky-I'm glad you liked how it turned out :)
Great pieces of art, they justify big time the honor of being published in that book. A little question; do you know if it will be published sometime in occident?
Mateo: thnks Mateo...I'm not sure what occident is? Either way I don't know any of the publishing options-heard a rumour it may be translated & printed into english
hey man, thanks for responding so quick, and I will be waiting unpaciently for the book to be translated and published here in America (sorry for being unclear, I referred to that when I said Occident.
Mateo: np buddy!
Wicked Cool. Please consider me now as your biggest fan!
Crimson Viper rocks!
Emperor.Kaizer.: glad you liked it buddy! come back again anytime X)
Awesome work Joe; I'm criminal in my lack of consistent updates but 'ya gotta forgive me for that. As a C.Viper fan, I always love seeing her win,..and just love seeing her period ;) even if I don't play w/ her too much. Guile getting his butt kicked is about what I've come to expect xD, though I've been playing w/ him more recently and starting to make up for some of his gimpness. One thing I really like about it (and not surprising knowing it's you) is how flowing the panels are w/ one another as I never got confused what was going on and could pretty much "read" it all w/o any dialogue, which is always good for a story. Nice style too; I commend you and your self torture to take it the extra mile each project. That's some serious work effort bro.
John: thanks man I'm glad my efforts don't go to waste! I usually choose sagat cuz he's fun to draw haha
hmm...time for some sf4 soon
