It's 2020 and I'm still attempting the Mega Man Zero style of my childhood :'V
Mega Man Zero/ZX collection gets released the day before my birthday on steam.
Commission from Discord of Zero from MMZ - I was asked to try keep the style as close to the game’s art style as possible.
My contest for @rockmiyabideusexmachina‘s Valentines Day contest. Honestly, it helped me get out of an art block, so I can’t complain!
Sometimes I really wish I had more knowledge of music and notes and stuff like that. The reason being, I'm pretty sure that leitmotifs from the Zero series got recycled a few times in ZX, specifically the ZX Tunes version of songs, but can't quite confirm it other than saying "this sounds somewhat similar!"
Fate - Theme of Vile (Weil) from Zero and Fate - Deep Seated Grudge from ZX are the obvious ones in that the second loops so it doesn't become the first, and I also love that "Science Will Never Die" from DMC4 also pays homage to Weil's theme, given the boss it's used for is similarly a mad scientist.
However, the ones I'm trying to figure out are the soundtrack versions of Doomsday Device (Area M/N) and Cannonball - Hard Revenge. Pretty sure that Doomsday Device pulls from Ragnarok from Zero 4 in certain areas, but I feel like I'd need to slow down the song to be certain (or speed up Ragnarok!). Additionally, there's a whole extra melody to Doomsday Device in ZX Tunes; doesn't quite help that that version isn't on Spotify.
Funnily enough, it's the same issue with Hard Revenge. Obviously it's a slight remix to Omega's Zero 3's boss theme, but the OST version again has a whole extra melody section that sounds like it references songs from Zero 3; specifically Exiled One - Omega, Omega Battle, Apocalypse Now, and potentially even Return to Zero. But again, this is pure speculation on my part.
On a similar note, I'm kinda disappointed that Advent didn't reference ZX's Soundtrack very much, given that the Floating Ruins are implied to be in Area A, the Scrapyard is implied to be Area F, and the Control Centre has been confirmed by the developers to be what remains of Slither Inc. HQ. Granted, I haven't listened to the OST version of Brimstone from the Control Centre in a while. It also would have been fantastic had Advent reused Rockin' On from ZX as Vent and Aile's boss theme, and included some nods to Zero 4's Falling Down in Divine Hammer at the final boss fight to reference that Albert was continuing Weil's legacy.
Anyone else got any other examples?
(side note, the in-game version of Trap Phantasm from Advent is, in my opinion, nowhere NEAR as good as the OST version. That one has a sick guitar solo).
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):
You try to recreate the savior of your universe but he comes out wrong and now he's helming a genocide. You are forced to stand by while your friends and countless others put themselves in danger trying to fix your mistake. You made him so all of the blood he spills is on your hands. You are fourteen years old.
Hell's Cinque Ville's Greatest Dad
In celebration of (and as a result of) @tyrantchimera 's latest Finders Keepers chapter coming out, have Girouette and Omega Zero in the outfits of the worst co-parents to ever exist.
I am, of course, talking about Lucifer and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.
I mean look it was a pretty easy comparison to make.
Giro as Lucifer, the well-meaning but struggling father figure? And he's blonde?
Omega as Alastor, the mysterious, murderous mischief-maker who has ended up as a father figure? Plus the colour scheme?
the paper could not handle all the red on Omega dear gods...
Anyways this may be the goofiest thing I've ever drawn but damn if it doesn't make me smile. Honestly love the idea of these two (Giro and Omega) as ridiculous co-parents to Vent and Aile.
Enjoy!
I've had Ciel on my mind today and whenever I think of her, I can't help but think just how fucked her story and life is.
Seriously, she's born as a test tube baby, genetically engineered to be more intelligent with the express purpose of making better weapons and reploids for the dictatorship that created her, likely meaning she didn't have proper parents and no real childhood.
She created Copy X, who then went on to commit straight up genocide, so you know that definitely took a toll on her. Oh yeah she was 9 when she did this. So yeah can't imagine that helped with coping.
She then goes on to try and find redemption by forming the resistance to save reploids that her creation wants to exterminate, becoming the enemy of effectively all of what remains of society as a result, with people constantly dying around her for being part of her organisation. It's to the point where they are on the verge of collapse by Zero 1, this desperation being the whole reason she tries to find Zero in the first place.
During this whole time, Ciel is also working to try and create an entirely new, renewable and clean energy source on the faint hope that Neo Arcadia would cease their genocide of the reploids. An incredibly daunting task for a single person to say the least. Unfortunately it goes completely down the drain by Z3 where giving Neo Arcadia, or really at that point Weil, the Ciel System is completely out of the question. It was naive beforehand of course but it just sucks for her that all her time and effort spent working on the system in hopes of bringing a peaceful resolution basically meant nothing in terms of resolving the conflict with Neo Arcadia at least.
Oh and this was also after the guy who she handed command of the resistance to, massively escalated the conflict with Neo Arcadia, got a bunch of their soldiers killed only for him to eventually go crazy and have to be killed himself. So yeah I can't imagine that was great for her.
Honestly laying it all out like this Z4 is comparitively not nearly as bad for her, until right at the very end where the conflict that she is at least partially responsible for sparking is ended almost entirely by Kraft nuking Neo Arcadia. Fun fact according to the Drama Track, Vile's Incident, included in the Z4 Remastered Tracks CD, Kraft canonically killed approximately 20 Million people when he hit Neo Arcadia so yeah make of that what you will.
And of course after all that, Zero goes up and destroys Ragnarok and himself along with it. We see how grief stricken Ciel is in the game but honestly, listen to the Drama CD version of Zero's final monologue and hearing Ciel's scream shows just how crushing this is for her. Seriously her voice actress screams like part of her soul is being destroyed in that moment.
Honestly considering she goes through everything she does here, well before she even properly reaches adulthood no less, it's a genuine wonder Ciel isn't just completely broken by Zero 4. Worst part is it doesn't even stop after that, shit keeps happening and by the time the ZX era rolls around she's completely MIA, likely still alive through cybernetic enhancements so she's old as hell now and is forced to pretty much exile herself clinging onto the vague hope that the biometals she created will be found and used by an actually good person.
