Description
A little detail here, lots of color there, and done!I think I put in more effort in to this guy than I did the other 2. Makes me kinda feel bad.
I know, the full view is kinda big, but I wanted to show off the detail I put into it really badly.
The background is actually based on Axl's Action Trigger from Command Mission.
Boy and I proud of this one. I hope you all enjoy it. I put a LOT of work into this set.
Please comment and tell me what you think. <3

Kinda random, but very interesting (pff, random...coming from the person who draws various characters as bunnies just because). I like the wings, especially.

... Honestly, I hadn't considered the idea... till now. I'm not sure, and I won't make any promises. So we'll just have to wait and see. The idea is now planted in my head now...

You think so? Oh, and TY for the Fav.

Thank you. I put a TON of effort in this guy. Like I said, I probably spent a half hour to an hour on his gems alone. But I think it was worth all that effort.

Whoo, lord. Yes, definitely worth it.

Oh I know what makes Axl different from Zero and X! He has wings! I saw the sketch of Axl in your scrapbook, and you said that you would explain why he has wings and X and Zero don't when it's done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Maybe I should do those other versions of X and Zero in the Falcon armor and Absolute Zero Armor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, I don't know those armors.
So why does Axl have wings and the other two don't?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That has to do with mostly abilities and basic blue prints per say.
Axl has stabilizers on his back. In the games, he has the ability to hover. Zero had the double jump, and X get Armor power ups. (One example would be an attachment to let him jump twice as high.) So, since normal Stabilizers on a Dragon Axl looked rather bland, I turned them into wings.
Zero's Absolute Zero armor also has it's own set of wicked wings. While, the Falcon Armor for X, well, has flight abilities. I intend to draw out both of these, and giving then wings naturally would just get in the way of the purpose and abilities.
That and, Axl doesn't really have any alternative armors, save the white armor. Which is pretty much the same, but a different color scheme. (That and you don't run out of transformation energy.) And in Command Mission, he has a stealth ability.

Well. I really don't know. I have a million Mega Man games to pick up. And I can start as soon as I can put ZXA aside. That is when I get my prize for the hard mode - which happens to be a picture by you.
In all honesty, I don't think I would have all that much of a vibe to look deeper in the Mega Man series without you drawing that for me. Because I'm really not good at forgetting things that just insanely piss me off. And sadly, ZXA did just that to me.
No worries though, I'm pretty busy with tons of other games in the mean time.

It's up on the finish it section as soon as I finish this blaster sketch for my Cosplay. I'll probably be putting some the concept sketches in my Scrap book. I need to give it some kind of epic background. I was thinking the area for that final battle against Albert. But it's really detailed. So, it might take a LITTLE long than I'd like.

I can imagine that you want to have a good background. But they're hard to do. I'm currently struggling with the Mega Man environment I have been planning and sketching since the Legion HQ picture. The problem is that the background in that picture is really hard to do, and I have zero practice with it. So I split up the idea and am now doing just the background first - and it's turning out to be just as hard as I expected. I need to learn many new techniques for it. And my Illustrator trial is already half-way expired.
Obviously I'm anxious to see the picture, but I really feel it will be better if you take all the time you want for it to be completed. Thus I hope I'm not pressuring you with all of this.

Naw. But I'm still gunning to try to have it done before the end of the month.

One thing, as we're already talking about a head lying in the picture - does it have any blood or that kind of stuff in it? I don't like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, no blood. Just like, X_X KO! So shoulders and stuff are attached. There won't be much for detail in the face at all.
The faceless evil.

Hmm, I think the highest rated game we have is Halo 3. That aside, Megaman is rated E for everyone. <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. I don't care much about ratings though, I have a good look at the content myself to decide whether it's something I like or not. You have to with the bullshit German rating organisation - Metroid Prime 3 got a 16+ rating from them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure the rating system on mine, But I don't think it got so high it was 16+. 13+ tops. I'd have to go downstairs to look. and If I'd have to go downstairs, I'd rather go downstairs to play some games. <3

I just stay in the same room to play games.
But not like you think. I don't have the TV in my room.
I have the PC in the living room.

That is amazing! The background is nice and colorful. I like his pose. The shadow effects turned out really well, the coloring is great, the line work is of course fantastic. I love how the diamond stones turned out, you can see that the amount of work put into them really payed off. Oh and how could I forget the nice hair?
Really this is amazing and you are right to be proud of it.
