Description
Page 2 of the Resident Evil 1.5/3.5 concept fanart. Once again, I used a 0.5 mechanical pencil to sketch it out and then inked the drawing in with micron pens.Now that's one VERY angry Merchant there. Hmm...wonder if it had something to do with Leon using him as target practice.
All the other poses I had to play the game itself and observe Leon(without any camera stop codes or other cheats since I didn't have any at the time). So I looked in the item menu screen and in-game to see how the weapons looked and how they were to be held.
Be sure to read the various dialogue there, it's a twist from his sales pitches from game itself. I also used the shooting range door(one with the gun engravings on it) from Resident Evil 4.
What I had in mind for this alternate universe concept was that the Merchant would be a monster/B.O.W. just like the Hookman. Hence, he'll be nick-named the "Gunman" and exhibit the same powers as the Hookman from RE 3.5. This means:
- Merchant is weak to light/lightning flashes/flash grenades
- Like the Hookman, he's normally indestructible(while teleporting, phasing etc), unless he is struck by light
The Hookman is not the only foe stalking Leon from time to time. Merchant will chase and attempt to gun down Leon as well. So in this fanart, Leon will hear a rough voice(with what might sound like a British accent) telling him, "Over here, stranger.". After hearing this, Leon goes to investigate the area in which it leads him to a mysterious door with gun engravings on it. As soon as he attempts to turn the knob, the voice speaks out again with a "Welcome!". The Merchant literally phases out of it like the Hookman does with his portrait and starts chasing Leon.
As you can see, these are the various weapons he uses to try to kill Leon along with his famous trademark lines.
If the Merchant is disarmed in some way or loses his weapons, he'll try to strangle Leon the same way the ganados do from Resident Evil 4. Also, whenever Leon decides to hide behind a wall or take cover from fire, the Merchant will throw a hand grenade instead.
Guess who the "person" in the portrait on the wall where Leon is hiding from the Merchant.

Resident Evil, it's betas, and characters belong to Capcom.

That reminds me of the Mega 64 parody on the Merchant.

The ending was funny. "You got arrested." parody of the "You are dead." screen that shows in the game.

The only thing I laughed harder at than those videos are the Phillips CD-i parodies that people do on Youtube.

You're talking about the Zelda CD-i's right? That's about the only things I can think of that have been so atrocious and associated with the CD-i.

Yep! These two made me laugh so hard I peed my pants(almost actually).
The brain death one - [link]
Another parody - [link]
Here's someone dubbing in the dialogue for Link - [link] (just click on the "Zelda: Faces of Evil REMIX")

I don't have sound, so all I could see was the videos themselves. It's a hard choice but I'll have to go with Muerte Cerebral as well, I had trouble holding back laughter with it.

The strangest thing is, I don't know what exactly is so funny about it. Even though it made me laugh so hard that I nearly peed my pants.

I think for me it had to do with how atrocious it was, paired up with their drugged up laugh and the king's frightening lips.

Oh my gosh, the King's lips are so scary!! I about died from laughter watching those, though. Why would Nintendo give those people any right to make Zelda games?! (I know the reason, but still, why?)

I haven't a clue.
Which of those videos did you find most funny? I don't know why, but the Muerte Cerebral really did it for me(I said what happened in the last post). I think it could be the horror-like music in it. That and the Phrightphest one was histerical.

I laughed out loud at the not a good idea bit where he's throwing in a grenade like the merchant makes a totally badass enemy!

electroGARDEN In reply to Shakahnna [2007-02-01 04:18:46 +0000 UTC]
I actually added that part right before I inked it since the idea came after I heard the Merchant's line for the Punisher, "A wise choice, mate. It's ammo will penetrate just about anything. ".
Heheh, it'd be a battle that Leon would truly have to run away from everytime since the Merchant is armed to the teeth with heavy artillary.

The merchant is hot just on princinble like anyone who is packing that much heat cannot be anything other that totally amazing. Just what you are doing here is aces.

Aww, thanks! :hugs: Even though it was hard work trying to look at the various gun poses in the game to get things right, I had LOADS of fun with this idea.
The thing is, the Merchant is always such a jolly fellow whenever he's stalking Leon. That makes him almost psychotic or crazy there.

Yeha one thing I never understood is why he didn't just get the treasure himself. Nothing attacked him and he was always wandering about and he KNEW the treasure location so why wait for Leon to bring it to him? UNless it was because it's the trading that was important and nothing else.

electroGARDEN In reply to Shakahnna [2007-02-06 10:41:38 +0000 UTC]
Maybe it's laziness.
Perhaps he realizes that Leon would need other ways of obtaining money to buy upgrades and weapons. So leave it to Leon to go hunt for treasures and come back to sell them to him for money. So in turn that the agent can buy weapons.
Either that or he's just too much of a coward to go out and get those treasures no matter what.
You know...I actually had a theory(or it was apart of a theory) about the Merchant. If you want, I can note it to you. It was on gamefaqs where someone posted their theory about the Merchant. I put in my 2 cents in that thread.

That's brilliant like the merchant won't move because he cannot be bothered like that tickles me pink something rotten.
And please do share, I always love to hear what you have to say.
