Wow, thank you! I tried to apply the kind of proportions the characters had from X4 onwards.

Thank you! I agree, he is even a tough one with the x-buster only! Although I think that most bosses with shields tend to be hard to deal with.

Another collab entry? Do you like contributing to those? ^_^ This looks very great btw!! I love how you have kept most of his key details intact! These designs in the Megaman X series have always been pretty heavily detailed so you really done him some great justice. I was curious are you also into the Megaman X series too since you have drawn a maverick from one of the games? One of my personal favorites is Slash Beast.

Haha, there are various reasons actually! Not many are worth mentioning so, to make it short, one is because I find fascinating seeing plenty of people doing art within a specific theme. This leds to another one; it makes me feel part of the community by contribuiting, especially one as big as this one. I like leaving my mark in these special ocassions. Remember when I told you I didn't contribute in the farewell community on Miiverse? Sad times; I don't know if I'll ever forget about it... >_<

Thank you! I slowly worked on every little piece of the body trying to get every thing right. The designs of the bosses in the X series are indeed very complex and detailed! When I saw the list a few days ago, most of them weren't even picked. Probably for this reason.

It may not look like it but I'm huge fan of the Mega Man series! The lack of art in my gallery doesn't help, heh. I prefer more the Classic and X universes but I like all of them.
Do you like the X series only or have you played any of the rest? I wonder if you're looking forward to the collection that is about to release soon!

Ah, Slash Beast. Is there something specific that you like about him? I personally find him cool. I found him very intimidating in my childhood, always leaving this boss for last. xP
It happened with many though, like Crush Crawfish from X3, to name another one.

Ahh okay, that is understandable. I have contributed to a decent amount of group collabs, but I never felt like I did it often enough. Sorry you still feel bad about not contributing to the Miiverse collab. Even though I did contribute, I can't say it was truly anything special what I did, so please don't regret not being a part of it. You were a big part of the social community itself, while many people never even used Miiverse, so I think that means a lot more personally.

You're very welcome. I really respect that you delicately do your artwork and bring such great results. Shows you are patient and try not to rush your art. That's truly great because it's not always about how fast you create art, more so putting the time, effort and passion into the art is what usually gives you the best results.

Actually I am a fan of many things and even though I am, I haven't drawn fanart related to everything I am a fan of, I usually really admire artwork related to the things that I enjoy, even if I haven't contributed to that fandom itself. ^^ I actually like both series and while I have played only a few games, I am very fond of the franchise. I'm actually a fan of Capcom's work in general. Next to Nintendo and Sega, they are another favorite video game company of mines. I haven't heard about the collection, but I'll be sure to look into it whenever it goes very viral on the internet. (That's how I find about most stuff. Lol Similar to them remaking the Spyro Trilogy!)

As for Slash Beast, besides his design, stage theme, and persona, I can't think of anything else that sticks out that I like about him. It's also cool that the animal he is primarily based off of is a lion, and I happen to really like lions! He isn't a typical maverick that's for sure since he actually works for Repliforce. Most of the robots you face in the game are not evil, but are fighting for their rights. The game is quite depressing actually, but I still very much enjoy it. One of the things I love the most in the Megaman and X series is the music. They tend to have great soundtracks. I do find that interesting that you were a bit fearful to face some of the bosses in the series and to be honest I felt the same way when I was younger, even with other franchises. Ahhh... childhoods. X3 Hee hee.

Oh, it was just coincidence that I joined these in succession. My last one would've been two years ago if I don't count them. I didn't participate in any last year.

It's mostly a personal thing. To me it's about the act of having contributed to something, and having something that when I look back I say "Ahh, I was there" remembering the good times. Miiverse was about to close down so, it was a special moment that I couldn't miss.
You're right about that being part in the community still meant a lot though.

Ahh, I appreciate your kind words! I try, because I tend to rush my own works though. I put deadlines myself and sometimes I don't achieve the result I hoped.

Ah, I'm the same. I like a bunch of franchises but, perhaps, by not having ideas or just lack of interest, I don't draw anything about them. I do look for them too.

What games do you like by Capcom? I can't say I follow them. I have fond memories of their Disney games from the NES era (I even bought the collection and Ducktales Remastered), Okami by a bit and, of course, Mega man. But most of their franchises aren't of my interest.

Are you looking forward the Spyro Trilogy? I never played them. I wasn't a Sony gamer back in the PS1 days.

Yeah, that was different compared to previous games were all of them became Mavericks. The tone of the game felt more serious than usual. And this felt a lot more in X5, where you see them losing their minds when encountering them. Very sad.
I agree so much there! Mega Man games have incredible music in general. Do you have some favorite soundtracks? X3, X4 and X5 and X8, personally, have my favorite tunes.

I think many of us felt something like that at one point, heh. While I used to be intimidated by other bosses in other games too, it didn't come near the levels of the Mega Man games, haha. I guess because the battles were fast-paced, especially in the X series.

I feel every time I write even more. lol

That's cool. You have inspired me so I may join some more collabs in the future if the theme is of my interest. Yeah, by time a full year comes since Miiverse has been shut down, I may post more personal art I did on Miiverse in memory of the community. It would be nice if you did something as well, but that is just a suggestion. I just don't want you to stay disappointed about not contributing to the group collab they had before shutting down.

Rush huh? You could have fooled me because I seriously don't see any "rush" in your art, but maybe that's just how you see it, I usually can tell when someone rushes their art and it wasn't done proficiently enough. It could be you are just a quick and efficient artist. Someone who can work fairly fast but still gives great results. I usually don't put deadlines on my art unless I am doing a collab. Not even in art trades, but I usually do them without having the person I am art trading with wait too long, as I have done with you. When I put a deadline on my art, it makes me become anxious and I wind up not doing as well as I would have liked to. Then again it does depend on WHAT it is I am drawing as well. Anyways, long story short, you're quite welcome!

Well on the top of my head, I am more so of a fan for the tournament fighters that Capcom makes, especially the cross over ones featuring Street Fighter, Megaman and Darkstalker characters. In a way the appeal is similar to what I like a lot about Super Smash Bros. It has been a long time since I last played a newer game of theirs, but the last one I played that I enjoyed was TatsunokoΒ vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars which was a more bigger cross over compared to some of their other ones. I used to main a lot as Roll and her being playable in the game was a pleasant surprise. x3

I wouldn't even say I'm a huge Sony gamer myself but two franchises I really liked from them was Spyro and Crash Bandicoot.

Actually most of the soundtracks you mentioned I like myself as well, with X4 truly being my personal favorite. I love all the Classic Megaman Music as well! Megaman 2 is usually a fan favorite for many.

Oh really? You don't say. I guess I was more chicken to find other franchises out of Megaman to have some freaky bosses or even enemies. xD

Actually I am not helping, my replies are long too and if you want to make a brief reply to end the conversation off, you are free to do so. I don't wanna work you up from my ongoing conversations. You have some interesting things to say and I don't wanna come off lazy when I get back to you.

Nice! I participate in these as long as I like the theme. It's not like I join any random collab.

Sounds good. I remember some of your drawings but haven't seen them here. And that's a nice idea; I could share my miiverse drawings during that month.

Hm, it could be the impression I get when I move on from one segment of the drawing to another, doing it quickly. To me that's rushing. Unless that's said when you half-do a work?

I also feel that with deadlines so, I understand. This is like an exercise I put myself so I can work my skills in a way I could work with tight schedules.
It's not too exaggerated so everything's under control, heh. With small drawings I put 1 week, with bigger drawings from 15 to 30 days. This within an average time of 2 ~ 6 hrs per day.

Do you like fighting games in general? I'm not into that genre but, I like the 'vs. Capcom' series; may be because of the crossover aspect. I'm terrible at them though. <_<
I played Tatsunoko vs. Capcom! I enjoyed it! I used to pick Volnutt and Roll, those were my mains. It's a shame the overseas version had regular music tracks because the japanese one was character theme based, like in past games.

Great choice! X4 is one of the most nostalgic to me, besides X3. With classic series I put 9 in front. So far It has the best soundtrack for me! 3 and 4 being the most nostalgic. No. 3 and 4 again. xP

Nah, it's ok. Just a little observation I made when I thought about my last replies to you. It's been so long since I saw people who likes to engage in conversation. I take my time to reply to everyone so I don't mind.

Nicely done on Crystal Snail. I really am attached to this guy after seeing his story in the manga a few years back.Β

Thank you! What manga is it? I'd love to read it if it's available. I only know of Megamix but that one covers just the Classic series as far as I know.

Letdragon In reply to AlcyoneAX [2018-07-08 19:25:02 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. It's the Mega Man X2 manga; thanks to a good friend, I have scans of it. Unfortunately, none of the MMX manga have ever been officially translated (I'll never know why).Β

Ah, I see. I'll try to look for scanlations but by the sound of it, it will be hard, especially if there wasn't any interest in translating any of them before. Thank you for the info!
