Art Attack Friday is your weekly look at videogame fan art created by a talented artist.

Joe Vriens is a very happy man right now. You see, he's really happy that Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is getting re-released as his artwork is being featured in the game. Capcom hired Joe to make the new artwork such as this Ryu and Wolverine pieces. He's done a lot more drawings for MvC 2 and he'll be revealing more of his artwork as the game comes closer to release.

That's not all! Joe made this Street Fighter IV comic that's only available to people who picked up the game from Target. Joe and Capcom heart each other very much. He's even working on some pieces for the Darkstalkers tribute!

He's also currently working on an iPhone horror game featuring this badass werewolf character. Needless to say, Joe is a very busy man.

Hit up Joe's deviantART and Blogspot for a look at all of his art. Also, I love the header image so much. Hit the break to see Joe make the Triceraclaws and Tryunasaurus image from start to finish.

W-O-W. Juuuuust a tiny bit jealous...

My favourite just for S&G's is Ryu looking up at Sagat with a terrified look. He's a very good artist.

Why did Capcom hire him to draw art like that header image? The comic I can understand as a PR move, but this?

@ChronicLogic: Why is like EVERYTHING you post negative as fuck? Are you Destructoid's Stephen Colbert or something? Jesus, dude. Try saying something constructive now and then.

Anyway, this guy's very talented. Great range. Good sense of humor, too.

I'm not negative, I just like to accentuate the negative aspects of games. I sometimes give out praise for games that are great as well. But I guess people tend to remember the negative stuff people say than the positive things. I could say positive stuff all the time, but that'd be boring wouldn't it? And plus there are too many people doing that already here.

Also, I do LIKE Marvel vs Capcom. I was just nitpicking the art. I though he was drawing advertisement art for the game, I didn't realize he was drawing the ingame artwork.

Another Morrigan pic for my collection. ^_^

Yeah, his artwork is great, and he has Ryu's likeness down to a tee. I hope to see more from him.

Those pictures are so badass.

For interest, anyone know what program he's using in the video there?
