Description
The revised version of an entry that I submitted to the "Mega Man: Dawn of X" Fan Art Contest way back in 2014. Unlike the original, this one was created with fully rigged 3D models, so Mega Man and X's poses are as close to the ones from Leonardo da Vinci's template as possible. Moreover, textures were redone from scratch with a combination of smoothing groups, material IDs, vector maps, and cel shading to mimic a 2D look.

While every attempt was made to remain as canonically accurate as possible - right down to making sure Mega Man and X's relative heights were correct and lifting colors directly from sprite sheets - given that the proportions and appearances of both characters are wildly inconsistent between games, a certain amount of improvisation was necessary. Their face and eye details, for example, are a composite of several competing designs.
