Description Ok, here is something else I like.

I know the lineart has a lot of flaws, and the painting is not the best, but was a quick piece just to show my respects for this character.

The first Megaman that I played was Megaman 6 for NES. I fell in love with the gameplay and art of the game, and from there, I always looked forward to the next versions of the blue bomber. Of course, back in my day, was hard to get a NES or SNES game due to the overprizes that the stupid multinational companies put to imported products(imagine, here the WII is 3 times the USA price!).

Well, regardless, the Megaman X saga has always been my favourite, maybe because it was more grown up and hardcore, and also, the story and characters were not so childish(but they would for this times), and well, it had Zero. I always wondered why this character was the most popular over the series ( and many of us thought he was a girl lol).
Anyway, something that started as a Mariolike sidescroller shooter continued over the years... sadly it didn't had a growing fandom and slightly better games as the mediocre Hedgehog has nowadays. The games about "Megaman" for the new consoles don't have a shit about the original concept, and of course, me and other retrofags cannot adapt to these changes XD(Well, at least we have Megaman 9.... unfortunately...was just a "just the same thing" and didn't add any update to the Megaman story and its nexus between the X series as I hoped). How can I play a indecent rip-off of pokemon with "Megaman" on its title?(well....thinking again....the first Megaman was also a ripoff of Mario....with a Mega Buster).

Talking about this series, my favourite title in it it's the original X1, a game that gave me countless feelings of epicness, like no other on the series (the closest one to that was the X4).
Oh yeah, X4, how can we forget that game?. Was the shit when I first put my hands on that PSX controller. Awesome graphics, music, stages and new characters...oh yes...the new characters... Capcom WTF? Colonel, Iris, the General and the repliforce....they had so much potential for upcoming sequels! And what you do? You kill them all on the same game?! Meh (Megaman xtreme is just a spin-off for me, so that Iris doesn't count).
After that game, the series went onto super downhill since X5(Some people thinks this game is better than X4... everyone with their thoughts....I think it's shit). At least X8 made some decent job .
Then, after X....100 years later....appears in my opinion the series with the best storyline and character development on Megaman history....but that's another fanart hehehe.

BTW....too bad capcom didn't develop too well the character of X on his own series, giving more of this to Zero instead...

I'd say in terms of story, Zero or Legends are probably the best.

After playing the zero series Ive found i dont care for zero during the x saga. Mainly cause he's a grade A badass in the zero series. Have you played maverick hunter x on the psp? Its a new rendition of x1, and is friggin fantastic.

I don't own a PSP but I have seen it on youtube. After watching it I prefer the original version (specially for the music, I think it's better on SNES)

::gasp:: yeah thats the attitude most people take until they acctually play the game. I like it alot better. I heard they were supposed to remake x 1-3 but then it never took off. Though I guess you'd only really need it for the movie, which can be seen on youtube.

Oh wow... I very much like your version of X! Like that contrast of the red glow against the black. Nice mechanical feel~ I also liked reading your thoughts on the series!

Ah that's true Zero's much more popular, lol. Think I remember doing some casual research long ago Keiji Inafune (MM series creator) that Zero was actually supposed to be the main character; however Capcom advised Inafune that Zero's looks is too much of a change when compared to the original series Megaman that it most likely would turn off too many fans. Inafune then created X to take Zero's place but as he said in one interview (can't recall the exact words,) but he meant that he'd made sure Zero would get the best scenes and/or roles in the story.

And yeah! I was also surprise how in X4 they just wipe out Iris and her bro. I think Iris first appeared in a MMX Gameboy game as a navigator like Alia, can't remember for sure, I need to research that one again. Well I respect the X4 story, though her death was quite a downer. =/

Interestingly there is just one more rumor I'm causally researching - heard from some western site, (a Megaman "Wiki") that the actual X himself was originality supposed to be the main villain. Something like he got fed up with the mavericks and became an iron-fisted paranoid ruler against them (I assume.) Due to Capcom's creation of X6 without Inafune knowing, there had to be a change of plans and "Copy X" instead was thought up. If this is a full made-up-rumor or actually true, it would of been a quite a story twist, huh.


lol I hope my long message doesn't take away from the fact I really appreciate looking at your work. I like how you put your own individually into it along with the original style, makes it very much epic!

Thanks a lot for your elaborated comment. About Iris, she was first on X4, then she was included in Megaman Xtreme 2 I think, but I don't think those games are canon.

Ah, well, the red wire like things remind me of a maverick for some reason, but beserk works too, after all, being infected with the maverick virus is just like being in a permanet beserk mode in my opinion.

Excellent work. I love it when people do this-- its not your typical so-so fan art you see everyday.

Thanks for showing us your love for the blue guy! I just recently started playing Megaman Zero again (I consider them the last FUN megaman games). The story is super weird (where X is the bad guy) but the speed and reflexes required are that of the original Megaman X.

But yeah- I remember seeing MegaMan X for the first time. It has to be one of my all time favorite games. Never beat it as a kid though... SIGMA IS SO DANG HARD.

I kinda stopped following Megaman spinoff when they started releasing X games within months of each other... though the Zero series was a lot of fun. X is where it's at though.

What an awesome rendition of X! He's scary and VERY epic!

I don't know much about the X series, since I only played the first one, but I always was curious about it though. I don't know if I asked you before, but what is the link between the original happy-go-lucky Megaman series and the X one? Does the X one take place in the future?

ProSoul In reply to Nico--Neko [2009-03-16 14:54:15 +0000 UTC]

X series is supposed to be 30 years after Dr. Light creates the X prototipe. I don't know if this marks the end of the original Megaman Series, and there is not game that explains it. The only thing you know is Dr. Light is dead when X awakes from his capsule so we can asume it's on the far future(or year 21xx )

There is an OVA on the PSP game "Irregular Hunter X" called "Day of Sigma"...but it doesn't explain all of that...
