Description Oh PLEASE let it true...

My apologies for the massive number of fanarts lately. Still be testing out lots of different drawing styles and techniques etc. and for some reason I have an easier time with them while illustrating characters I didn't make. I'm still workin' hard though.

I don't like the shading on his face, and the shine on his Buster could've turned out better. That and hopefully people will get the whole deal with the shape of his shadow. Ah well.

A new Mega Man title huh? Definately a nice fan art to expression the title's new darker story. Awesome job!

Great image, very dark and moody, your technique allows the viewer to sense the desperate emotion.

ANYHOO

Mega Man 9, I too pray for this, all signs point to yes though, Aussie's are strict with their games demanding them to be shown quite early so they can give proper ratings on them. I think a couple of games have been banned in Australia including Manhunt and one of the GTA's I believe... in anycase it almost seems to perfectly coincide with nostalgic rebirths and the "secret" announcement for E3. Let us pray for some good ol classic buster shooting.

Matt: I've been hearing about the rumors of Megaman 9 for a while now. There have also been rumors about a possible Megaman X9 and Megaman Legends 3. I don't know if these rumors are true or not, but I hope they are. Anyways, nice job on the perspective.

Indeed, i LURVE this pis, but i would've worked on the light. And i like how you used perspective, but you seem to be experimenting

I still think of this whole deal about a new Megaman game as a rumor, but if it turns out true, you can hit me with rocks. Nice artwork!

And so is a ninth Megaman game! I too, hope it becomes a reality. ^_^

It's copied and pasted from a direct quote. I didn't wanna change what they were saying, even if it did sound a little awkward.

I saw the quote, I just thought it'd be a necessary change. XP

...Protoman as a playable character!? O_o

On top of everything, its going to be for xbox360 too....


...I do believe I have died and gone to gamer heaven...


Oh and as for your art, great work kirb, although yes, the buster shine could have been tweaked just a tad.

Stylish job. I enjoy how you merged the drawing and the background to give that scene for Megaman. Hope to see more of that sometime soon.

solarzero [2008-06-17 09:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Well it's good that they may be deciding to close that story up so that it will tie into the X series hopefully. I hope they can do the same with the X series as well.

On the note with your drawing, besides what others said like UCII and EgoRaptor, I think the buster he's holding up came out a slightly bit bigger than the rest of his body. Still it looks really great man.

Mega Man has blue eyes! X has green eyes! Silly billy.

I like the mood of this but I have no idea where the light is coming from.

I like how you're experimenting with perspective.

Ugh, should've known that. The reference I used was this really nice shot of classic Mega from the comic where they gave him green eyes, but that crossed my mind. (EXE has green eyes too, I believe)

They're also talking about it on IGN, so... there's an even a higher chance now.
What? Don't believe me? Then go to ign.com and find out.

AlanES [2008-06-17 04:58:05 +0000 UTC]

Regardless, I still think it's a nice looking piece. And yeah, I haven't seen the Megaman series so serious sounding since VII.

MikeLuckas [2008-06-17 04:49:58 +0000 UTC]

Did you ink the black shadows as part of the lineart? It looks nice. It helps him look a bit more dynamic.

Though in some parts it seems to contradict the lightsource being behind him, you could say there's a dimmer secondary light source in front of him as well, however, the dark blacks would mostly be caused by the sun behind him, so the placement of them needs to be done carefully.

Kirbopher15 In reply to MikeLuckas [2008-06-17 05:47:42 +0000 UTC]

I thought about actually inking those darker parts on the paper but my microns're startin' to blow ass all of a sudden so I did it digitally. Yeah I figured I was gonna run into some problems with the light source...
