Ashe Mmzx - Tumblr Posts

Ok, older art from earlier in the year (sorry for the rough colouring!) but consider:

The dynamic between a villainous version of Ashe and a heroic version of Prometheus. Logistically I haven't quite figured it out, but here's what I came up with so far under the cut:

PnP were active but only for a short time before being "deactivated" and put into stasis the same way Grey was at the start of ZXA; Albert planned to pull the permanent merge on them like in canon, but never got around to it. Instead he focused on his backup body (DAN-003, who we know in canon as Grey but codenamed Epimetheus here) as the ultimate Megaman and had him running missions. He also recruited Ashe to his cause when he realised she was his unaltered descendant and took her in, molding her into a perfect henchman to him (if a firecracker of one).

Meanwhile the Hunters found PnP and took them in, the same way they did for Grey/Ashe in canon (albeit way earlier than they would have found Grey). While Pandora in this AU is at peace with where she comes from (if a little sad that she knows she's got another sibling out there under Albert's wing) Prometheus is still quite hot-blooded and desperate to prove he's not inherently evil due to being a DAN and wants to establish himself as a man of the people, a treasure hunter, a hero.

And Ashe just keeps showing up during his missions the same way Prom does to her in canon - for the sole purpose of mocking him and telling him to embrace his past and his more destructive desires. She's also got absolutely zero sense of personal space and she knows Prometheus hates people invading his, so does it to get on his nerves. I just think it's a really interesting and somewhat tragic inversion of their canon relationship, since the game goes out of its way to show Prom thinks he and Ashe are similar!

Ashe here also still has that innate desire to go down in history and be somebody, but it's been twisted to the point where she revels in committing crime and serving a greater purpose.

A second post will be coming to show off their designs :)

(I also love to imagine that in this AU, PnP have become the Hunter's liaisons with the Guardians through providing them information about Albert and the Game of Destiny. Mostly because I adore the idea of an Aile and Pandora friendship, but Prometheus and Vent being hilariously hotheaded rivals wouldn't leave my head.)

Yo OP, I am TOTALLY gonna have to do fanart of this outfit now, I adore it so much

Especially love that now Grey and Ashe have essentially matching arm accessories/gauntlets, it's a cute detail!! :D

not me imagining this to be their outfits during FTGFTF'S Ice Floe chapter

Grey’s zxa manga outfit look so cute do wish Ashe also have her own version too

@tyrantchimera It’s hard to be sympathetic to your buddy crying over a lost bounty when you have literal amnesia

Valentine’s Day Contest Flashback Post - Day #26

ENTER MY CONTEST! ENTER MY CONTEST!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: 13 DAYS REMAIN UNTIL THE DEADLINE FOR THIS YEAR’S CONTEST, AS OF THIS POST!

And of course, another reminder that you can choose to draw a theme from any of these prior contests if you are submitting a wildcard entry this year.

We’re past the halfway point in looking back at previous contests, and are now up to the 2013 entries. That year’s contest had a talent category that focused on creating a Harlequin-styled romance novel cover, with a requirement of including Jewel Man as the leading man on it. The humor category borrowed from a kinky romance novel title, but the content was much tamer. Entries for the “50 Shades of Ashe and Grey” category just had to draw either Ashe or Grey in a situation that made them blush and turn all sorts of shades of red. No NSFW bondage included.

And here are the remaining “50 Shades of Ashe and Grey” humor entries. Beginning with @borockman ‘producing’ his recurring Sigma dream-themed recurring entry, this time cleverly educating you all on how tomatoes actually ripen. Did you know the oils from your skin quickly deteriorate the quality of an eggplant if you touch it? So no touchy the Siggplant, ladies! Following that, Nat Grim’s Ashe has her own classic Marilyn Monroe incident, as a certain windy Model user interrupts her and Vent’s intimate moment. And then finally, once again, I have to break up a Fenril-Huayra entry into multiple pieces just to fit and be legible on tumblr. Images 3-7 consist of his massive comic telling the romantic secret tale of Grey’s ZX Advent special ending. Since it is so really, really, really hard to achieve in the game, it’s a good thing we are able to archive the ending in this way.

Most normal sworn enemies on the planet

Rambling under the cut! Important tl;dr though these guys are adults here, I'm not being creepy I promise

This ship was my darling since I was 13-14 years old! Safe to say, I always thought these characters were much older than me. Kids saving the world was so dumb to me even when I was a kid - can you tell I never played as Grey? (Still love that kiddo though lol). I've always assumed Ashe was at least in her early twenties and Prometheus had some sort of 20-for-200 years Edward Cullen crap going on - hence why jamming them into the Twilight universe for Fluorescence felt like a natural fit to me. I think it's a pretty normal approach many of us take, but I felt the need to clarify in case anyone thinks I've got something creepy going on.

Anyway, I love Prometheus being crazy and intimidating as much as anyone, but it amuses me greatly to think he could also be a little pathetic and embarrassing, as a treat. Ashe's got enough ego to jump at the chance to be someone's knight in shining armor, and maybe Prometheus is secretly juuuuust babygirl enough to let her do it...listen if I can't be silly with them what is even the point okay

Preview of a little MMZX/A art project I've been working on :)

You'd better believe there's more coming :)

Context-less concept sketches for an upcoming FTGFTF chapter!!

Formal wear is fun to design!

Grey has a cocktail dress with shiny shorts and cool boots, picked because it's short and therefore easy to move in.

Ashe has a wide-legged pantsuit with a cape and lots of shiny accessories because c'mon, she's Ashe.

Plus a bonus with her:

Mostly because I wanted to draw her in motion, she's jumping over a table haha.

I'll eventually do a coloured version.

Curious to hear everyone's guesses about what this is for!!

The baddest bitch in the Wild Wild West.

She is the Bounty Hunter, renowned far and wide for her loud mouth, bringing in wanted felons, and unquenchable thirst for adventure and treasure.

However, there have been disturbing rumours that her latest quarry has powers beyond her imagining - and not to be outdone, even more disturbing rumours that she too, is dabbling to even the playing field...

AKA, character concept for Ashe as a bounty hunter in a fantasy old West AU of ZX/A that @dumpsterfirepropaganda, @tyrantchimera and I have been working on here and there :)

So of COURSE, Ashe had to get a really cool, very detailed fit. She does have a hat, and I'll add it next time!

Bonus points if you figure out where I got the inspiration for her pants from.

(Tried cropping with my phone, hope it's not too weird looking!)
