I Hope You Guys Don't Mind Much If I Nerd About Megaman ZX For A Lil Bit.

I hope you guys don't mind much if I nerd about Megaman ZX for a lil bit.

Went back and re-uploaded an old piece of writing, as catharsis; a short story based off the concept album The Crimson Idol by W.A.S.P. .

Said album had me absolutely stunned the first time I listened to it - I was in the middle of studying, got to the final song and had to put down my pen to do nothing but listen, then proceeded to re-start the album and hear it all over again without my brain being focused on organic chem. To this day it still lives in my head rent-free.

In my opinion there's something very Faustian and tragic about it in between all of the epic rocking; if anything, said epic rocking just makes the eventual protagonist's fate even sadder. Blackie Lawless did a phenomenal job at portraying the darkest possible aspect to this lifestyle, all wrapped up in his signature wailing and crooning.

As for why I went back to it, certain events in my life irl have reminded me of this and the character's eventual fate.

So as I've said in the notes in the last chapter, never ever forget the world is a much better place with you in it.

You are cherished, wanted, and loved.

Now I lay thee down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

This dead man's prayer do not forsake!

-Prayers of a Dead Man, Circle of Dust

Slightly older art!

Drew Girouette and Omega together because why the hell not, it was a fun experiment in seeing how distinct I could make their faces from one another. Also took minor liberties with Giro's visor to make it more like the helmet Omega and Zero share.

Was very obviously listening to Prayers of a Dead Man by Circle of Dust whilst drawing this (much prefer the 1992 version):

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

I am unreasonably happy about this, I mean look at the album art! It mimics Vent's pose from the Megamerge scene!!

Plus the YouTube link for good measure:

Honestly I think it actually kicks the ass of the ZXA Tunes version and that's not something I say lightly!
