Description
EDIT: WHOMG! I forgot to shade a part! @_@ *teh fix*SECOND EDIT sorry XD Blurred the skyscrapers a bit, it looks better now~~
(couldn't think of a decent title onoez x_o)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here we have rookie Axl on his first mission in Red Alert; totally beaten up and such, just after having received that all-famous scar XD
Now, about the scar... I looked up some information on Axl to see if that scar was explained somewhere but I couldn't find anything. I don't even think it is explained in the games itself (I never played the X games, so I don't know for sure). Anyhow, this is just MY version of how he got that scar ^-^
Originally the idea was to make this a one page comic on which he actually gets attacked and receives the scar, but that didn't really work out. Maybe I'll try it again later. I used reference for the pose after failing to get it right three times; it was taken from a random RMX manga scan I found on my computer.
LOOKIE! Background! XD
Shading this thing took me hours >> I sketched and inked Axl yesterday evening and sketched and inked the background this morning and colored and shaded the whole thing with hardly any breaks; I only just finished it now (it's 22.45 in the evening here)
The background and shading is similar to that unfinished Maverick Hunters drawing that's somewhere in my gallery.
Because this is a pretty dark picture, I uploaded the lineart here ; it shows the cracks and damage on his armor a bit better XD
Medium: Photoshop 7 from scratch
Time taken: teh long onoez~~ @_@

ah, now i understand about Axl's scar.
when i first saw him, i was like, "i wonder how Axl got dat scar."
anyway, it must been a little difficult for Axl. :L In my opinion.

Wasn't Axl a reploid? And weren't reploids robots?

Yes, but reploids still bleed. Oil, to be exact.

Yes. True... But they don't in the American versions... At least, not in the versions I've played...

I wonder if the way he got his scar would be like how Squall got his in FFVIII, and later down the road we see another reploid with a scar in the same area...

The level of detail is just amazing, as tragic as this piece is seeing Axl all beat up, I just love the effects, and that rain, must have taken forever. You even have droplets as they connect to your subject. I can appreciate all the hard work put into this.

Oh wow, that's awesome. The level of detail is impressive. I really like how you did the rain. Got any tips on doing that? I've tried a few times, but mine never comes out good enough to post it..

Well they were on Youtube videos where they were a part of Rockman slideshows, so they're hard to point out.

Do you mind if I put this as my background? My friend sorta already did for me. Heh-heh-heh
This is soooooooo good. Although I still think the scar needs a more dramatic story behind it. (Hey, blame my grandparents and dad trying to turn me into a tutu freak! I couldn't help it! lol) hmmm, YAY THANKYOU! YOU JUST INSPIERD ME TO DO A STORY ON THIS! :-D

I certainly don't mind! ^-^ I'm glad you like it XD Myeah, I agree that the scar can use a better story, but when I made this I didn't really know a lot about Axl XD See, I have an excuse! = D
Omg! Story! If you write it one day, lemme know ^-^

I can just see Axl in that situation...oh I see A liittle problem if you don't mind me pointing it out. Axl's guns are a bit to small and he looks too short. (Tho I don't mind I love short anime guys[They're always the toughest I noticed]) Other than that I think your CG is beautiful. You do blood very nicely unlike many artist I see these days

Wow... That's amazing. I love the shading and you've drawn Axl so well! I think it's really hard to draw Reploids with that kind of expression (lack of eyebrows and all that..) but you've managed it wonderfully. ^^

Thank you! ^-^
Reploid eyebrows will forever be a mystery XD They don't seem to have eyebrows on the official pictures and in the anime cutscenes from the games, but they do have them in de mangas so I don't know XD I think they do have them makes things easier ^-^

Red-Pinstripes In reply to Karioudo [2005-12-21 22:02:02 +0000 UTC]
Much easier. Either I draw them WITH eyebrows or I cheat and doodle them more humany.

Karioudo In reply to Red-Pinstripes [2005-12-21 22:19:06 +0000 UTC]
Exactly! XD Somehow the idea of Zero having no eyebrows kinda freaks me out lol. So much hair..... but no eyebrows ._. Scary.
Thank you for the fav btw Have a cookie!

Maybe the eyebrows went in the hair, like a magnet? Yay! Food! *falls on cookie*
