Prometheus Megaman Zx - Tumblr Posts
Okay last one I swear (for now that is hahaha, Ashe has an outfit but I haven't worked out the colour scheme)
Introducing the dudes! Minus Siarnaq and Thetis because I kiiiiinda forgot to add them/didn't have outfit ideas for them.
Info on their outfits and individual pics in the read more below!
Absolute fashion disaster/frat boy Vent! I like the idea that he's technically the powerful/manly of the heroes and I thought a letterman jacket would invoke those kinda "American Superhero" vibes. Having said that though, the top underneath is actually a sleeveless crop top paired with high gloves. Vent is also absolutely shredded and that crop top/glove combo is deliberate on his part to show that off. He likes having fun with fashion!
Puts a fair bit of effort into his hair, hence the bun, and threaded through it in pink are little neon bits that glow in the dark! I imagine they're very common in 24XX as part of clubbing getup.
Poor Aeolus who is regretting his life choices right now; the other guys absolutely messed up his hair and popped his jacket collar.
His shirt is silk and has gold thread all woven throughout (I wish I had a thinner pen for that detail work!) and he's That Bitch™ who decided a frock coat was appropriate dancing garb. In his defence, he's a classically trained dancer and thought they'd miraculously gained a sense of class/style and decided to invite him out to an evening of "proper" dancing. Ie, with a waltz and a roulette of partners involved. Poor guy was quite disappointed!
As a note, he's also albino and legally blind in one eye (hence his fringe to cover it, he's a little vain!) and his eyesight isn't fantastic, hence the pince-nez style glasses. Ironically enough though, he's got the sharpest eyeliner of the entire group.
That jacket was an utter nightmare to colour
Grey is just so happy to be here! Look at him, it's his first dude's night out!
But if his outfit looks familiar, it's because it was intentionally designed as a homage to Nero from DMCV. I think it looks good on him! So distressed denim jacket and a lovely comfy mahogany jumper underneath; cool, casual and ssstylish!
Having said that - there's little touches from the other Megamen in there. Aile lent him the necklace that she got from Giro as a good-luck/"come back safe and give it back" charm, so he and Vent are symbolically bros here, and the vaguely skull-shaped earrings he has on are a loan from Prometheus. Additionally, both Prometheus and Pandora argued over who got to do his eyeliner.
Pandora won.
And then there's this bitch.
Absolute delinquent/greaser/biker vibes for Prometheus with his leather jacket; there's a cape-like bit at the back with a massive flame decal on it that he stuck in himself (I'll have to do a sketch of the jackets' back) and his turtleneck has silver thread to give it a chainmail like appearance. His sword earrings are based off of an actual pair I've seen in a shop, and the bright red eyeliner is something he wears to make his eyes pop and stand out under the bright colour of his hair.
The thing about Prometheus is, he's actually very vain and also took the time out to shape his eyebrows prior to going out; dude spent a million years fixing his eyeliner, picking an outfit, and meticulously messing up his hair.
The outfit may also look a little familiar, and that's because it takes some cues from @dumpsterfirepropaganda 's version of Prometheus from the absolutely delightful "It's That Damn Fluorescence," wherein he has the vibes of an "80's Greaser Vampire."
Pretty fitting imo!
This turned more into an analysis of the fashion and why they all dressed like this haha, but enjoy anyways!
It's stupid o'clock where I am and I was seized by the urge to doodle - the result was Prometheus, completely unsurprisingly.
I also just realised I've never actually posted a sketch of him that I've done on here with his helmet on/fully merged.
Progress pics under the cut because I REALLY like how his face came out before I had to wreck it with the helmet :')
The first thing I do whenever I draw any of these guys is to draw their faces fully so I know ROUGHLY how their helmets sit:
I really love the idea that Prom is an edgy dramatic theatre kid at heart and absolutely owns so much damn eyeliner. It looked so much sharper in the sketch, RIP.
Anyways, this is then followed by tracing the helmet roughly on top:
And then outlining it, as pictured below minus colour:
Additionally, with Prometheus I've got a very specific rule whenever I draw him regarding his smile. He's naturally got a crooked smile but when being threatening, not so much:
Anyways, that's how I tend to draw Prometheus :)
His master created him just to suffer!!! And imitation is the highest form of flattery!!! Guess what that means for you!!!
Decided to try a "canon vs my artstyle", thing with three of my favourite ZX/A characters + and goodness GRACIOUS I forgot how hard the ZX style was to mimic!!!
So without further ado, Prometheus, who was drawn with a different pencil, and I could NOT work out his damn collar in canon style:
Vent, who I think still has the same vibe:
And Ashe - turns out I've been drawing her jacket collar wrong for YEARS:
The twins?
Yeah, they arrived here and settled in a while ago - they keep to themselves and stay out of trouble for the most part. Can't fault some young people for finding work and making something of themselves.
The lovely lady - y'see, that's Pandora. She's a nurse, creating them tonics and pastes for wounds like a witch making her brews. Heard from her patients that her work is good and she's mighty polite, but she hardly ever talks. A bit eerie if ya ask me.
The gentleman next to her? Her twin brother, Prometheus. He's much louder and much bolder than you'd think for a guy workin' with the dead - funeral parlour, morgue, if you need it embalmed he can help you out. I don't want to know where he learnt how to do that but our funeral director is mighty appreciative!
Still, sometimes I catch em looking sad, like they've lost something or are running away. Wonder why they came here in the first place...?

Presenting Pandora and Prometheus in the Old West AU (affectionately calling them Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass)!
They seem to everyone to just be twins who have settled in the town and are integrating nicely - but it's these two. Of course there's some other nonsense going on that they get suckered into. For now, they're just doofuses trying to live their best lives somewhere new!
Fun facts about the designs!
Pandora has terrible, horrible face blindness, so Prometheus wears the bright red eyeliner for her to ID him faster. Her eyes are also kinda crap.
Both of them have naturally silver hair like Grey's and dyed it - you can see it growing out.
Prometheus gets a little stubble. As a treat.
