X Dash

[Rockman X]

Hey there. This is a joint effort between me and Paper Ace Chase. It portrays a Dash version of X from the X Series. Hope you like it.



Edit: Before someone asks, this is the same RMX from PMM. I've been watching this place for a while on an off and am quite impressed with the development of the game thus far, so I decided to join the forum.

It's certainly a good picture, and the CGing is wonderful. You both did a great job on it.

The only thing I see "wrong" with it, is that it doesn't really look like it would be the X of the DASH series. Certainly a DASH character, but I dunno, just doesn't seem X-ish to me. A very nice piece of art though.

He looks more like a hyper-armored Trigger, but still, he's very nice. Great job, RMX.

Hey, right, wasn't this an entry in the DASH to the finish art contest? I wish PMM had announced the winners BEFORE they went under.

I definitely like that you guys put your own twist on the art style. Some entries I saw were just straight cut and paste design elements, which is not nearly as inventive. He looks like he could be a part of the System without looking a whole lot like the others characters we've seen from it.

Nice work.

Thank you for the positive feedback. I know it doesn't look X-ish, but then again, neither does Wily the boat owner look anything like Dr. Wily. I did have him to be Juno-like to a degree, of course having existed thousands of years before Juno, I couldn't make it too much so. I always wondered what X would look like with hair, and I figured this was the perfect opportunity.

It's not that he doesn't resemble Mega Man X, so much that he doesn't look like an enhanced version of Trigger. About the same build - if robots really have those - similar armor design + the cool spikeys and sleeve things. Maybe he has a more serious expression, but judging strictly by appearence - this is fanart after all - I'd say he doesn't look much more powerful than Trigger. But hey, maybe he doesn't have to be more powerful to be X-ish. I dunno.

Very nicely drawn either way.

Was the DASH to the finish contest never finished? I could've sworn it was. I remember looking through all the artwork. Lotta good stuff.

It was finished, but PMM went down before final judgment was decided upon.

As far as power is concerned, X never really looked all that more powerful than the original Rockman until much later on in the Series.

Although I call this a DASH version of X, it is at the same time, supposed to be the actual X from the X Series and what I imagine he would look like had he survived to the Dash Series. Trigger seems to be based upon the Classic Rock, a pre-existing character that is deceased.

This, however, is supposed to be the evolution of X, a blend between the way he is in the X Series, the Zero Series (cyber elf), and a Juno-ish blend to give it a DASH feeling.

Anyway, if you think this is good, you should see the DASH Woodman.

You mean the big one that looked kinda like a cross-over between Woodman.EXE and the big guy in the first ruin in MML?

I really see more of X in Trigger than the original Rockman. But to each their own I guess. What, is it because Trigger has hair? kekeke

[Rockman X]

Well, there is a theory that Trigger is X, and unlike the theory that Rock is X, the Trigeer theory does have its foundations, however weak they may be.

Nice job on the CG...it's something I have yet to master! And I've used Prismacolor pencils for the last two years or so and I'm still learning new techniques XD
