Description
Concept art from Reboot Season III. Another idea I had for a Cantina dweller in Escher World - "Byte", an old, rusty virus, precursor to the much more advanced Megabyte.Related content

Very interesting!
I always wondered if Kilobyte was a second stage.

I am gonna officially accept this as head-canon. Byte totally came before Killabyte, and was good old Megabyte's original (first? unevolved?) form. This looks amazing, and I wish this would've been included in the show.

Thanks! I thought it would've been pretty cool too ; )

You can see Byte fleeing the Cantina when Matrix just wants a quiet drink.
I like your "old programs" and virus designs. Very interesting.

Glad he at least got a few frames on screen. And glad you enjoy the designs!

Ooooh!
I wish they'd have done more on Virus culture. This guy sounds cool. ^^

Yeah, it was such a rich universe, once they started opening it up in season III and IV. So much unexplored potential...

Oh, neat! I like the idea for this character. He was infecting systems when Phong was young, I bet.
I notice design elements that remind me of Hack & Slash. Is that intentional or just serendipity?

Serendipity. I'm not familiar with those characters...?

Er, Megabyte's hench-bots? Tenor and baritone, red and blue, with a combined IQ of a toaster.

AAAAARG, yes, of course. I don't know why, but I thought you were referring to characters from some other franchise. I guess because I've gotten a series of comments from people here saying things I drew reminded someone of another show/comic/video game that came later, so that was in my head.

I love the design. Since Season IV, though, I've reckoned that Killabyte (Megabyte's immediate precursor) must have been the first of the line, simply because I can actually picture some jerk haxx0r somewhere thinking Killabyte is an awesome name for his new virus.

I had no idea there ever WAS a Killabyte! Maybe my sketch inspired the idea...? What did he look like?

Oh, interesting... Thanks!

I love this and the fact that its created in Pencil not generated on PC, gives it a really good feel.

Drawn in a spiral-bound sketchbook no less. Totally old-school ; )

I Love it, I use the same, though no were near your level of Talent.

ahhh, it was always more 'hard work' than 'talent'. Spend all day, every day, doing ANYTHING for years at a stretch, and you'll get good at it ; )
