Event #06 - Museum Exhibits (MINI)

[Loken]

1. Crystallized Karamuna Bash- This is a semi-transparent crystallized version of Karamuna Bash in it's dormant position. The idea was inspired by the fossilized Zakobon in the Megaman Legends 1 museum. My girlfriend most graciously illustrated my idea and even thought to put it in it's dormant position so I would appreciate if you credit her if this entry should be chosen. Her name is Miranda. 

A description could read- "The remains of an ancient reaverbot that experts claim to have been crystalized after hundreds of years of being concealed in rock under extremely high pressure. The specimen has been meticulously cleaned and rid of excess materials while taking utmost care not to harm it. This fossil is considered a Grade Three National treasure due to both it's size and quality and the Malt Island Museum is very happy to display it."

2. On the Origins of Reavers by Barrel Casket- This world famous novel/thesis paper chronicles twenty years of Casket's adventures and his observations on the reaverbots he encountered. This is a rare leather-bond first edition of one of the most highly praised books of modern times. Hope, Despair, Charity, Greed, Duty, Power... Barrel Casket's book has everything a reader could want.

3. Miniature Model of Malt Museum- A clay model of our very own museum! Graciously donated by a local artist, this 1:150 scale model of the Malt Museum is complete with models of each exhibit, and is updated annually! (note, of course the player can't see the miniature exhibits in the game )

4. The Calbanian beauty- A marvelous 5-foot tall rose from the island of Calbania. It is the only known specimen of it's type, unique to even the wilderness of Calbania. This beautiful, sparkly, light red rose seems to brighten the hearts and minds of everyone who encounters it.

5.The Quint Princess- Long ago the daughter of one of the Quint Island's most influential men rowned someplace of the coast of Buscan when she fell overboard of their private boat. The Beautiful young woman was the toast of the islands and her death shocked and depressed the community. Legends say that on bright, cloudless nights she appears from beneath the water, as beautiful as ever. The artist who donated this fantastic painting says that the princess appeared before him and posed in the starlight for this very picture. Fact or fiction, this is a transcendent portrait full of local history!

6. Assorted early body prosthetics-  An exhibit of different kinds of digger/civilian prosthetics from different body parts.  I leave this for you guys to come up with, might be fun. You could have tool-arms, weapons, large leg or arm parts, face details like red eyes or steel skulls. What ever you feel!

Please forgive the crappy-ness of the crappy art from Crap Town, Crapvania.


Display Case / Collectible: Tribal Masks. "These were collected from small, tropical islands in the south. From the looks of these, it's seem that reavorbots have been around a long time. "
Pretty much take parts from reavorbots and stick into a wooden mask.




Standard Exhibits: Amber-Man. "This strange Reavorbot fossil was found
deep underground. It's head was encased in a amber-like material. Even
stranger, with the position of the eye, the amber looks as if it was
forming into the shape of person. Because of that, we call him
Amber-Man."
It's the Rainbow Devil from MMZ series. In the left is how is originally
looks, in the right is how is looks thousands of years without power.



Painting: Battle of the Black God. "This painting is believed to be over a 1000 years. It tells story about a great conflict for a golden treasure that seems to be protected by a horrible demon. "  If those that wouldn't understand, it's the Colossus from MoTB. Take what you will with others. Megaman Trigger and other Purifier Units. Agents of the Elder System. The events of MoTB.

Ancient Energy source

Design: An E-Tank

Description: An old form of energy storage thought to precede Refractor Technology! How this ancient artifact survived for thousands of years is a mystery.


In the gift Shop is a shirt with 8-bit Megaman on it, it's called the Retro Designs Shirt, but Tuttle remarks that it wouldn't match the rest of his suit.

My entries are from various notebooks of mine. Please ignore the text. I'm pretty pressed for time today, so I can't write very long or exciting descriptions. The images a bit too big to attach here, so I've uploaded them to a Google Drive folder. They will have to be downloaded to be seen larger. I apologize.

I like the idea of the townspeople secretly being kinda weird. These are (mostly) meant to be submissions by them.

1) A Self Portrait: Like it sounds. I think this drawing expresses the introverted artist. I imagine this as a painting. 

2) Frustration: Sometimes your artwork just won't turn out. I think this drawing expresses discomfort and frustration. I imagine this as a painting.

3) Heads: I imagine these as items on a series of small podiums on top of a long dresser. They don't have to be these exact faces. Every head is exactly the same size.

4) Journey of the Flower: I imagine this as a tapestry or painting.

5) Love Actually...?: I imagine this as a painting. The inspect text might read, "They look.... happy?" Please do not count the "brocolli bird girl" as an entry.

6) Portrait of a Child: I imagine this as a painting. I imagine it being submitted by a local parent. I don't have kids myself, but I imagine it can be frightening at times. They rely on you. They look up to you. It might be easy to feel like you're not doing well enough, that you're failing. This fear could be projected onto the child themselves, making them appear frightening.

7) Projector: I imagine this as an installation. A projector might project a series of images onto a wall (cycled with the 'action' button), such as photos taken from the same place showing the town's growth (and change) over the last 100 years. It might also project a series of faces onto a large stone head.

8) Remembering Bunny: I imagine this as a painting. The bunny head, symbol above the head, and the globular shapes are meant to be part of the piece. Sometimes the loss of loved ones can inspire us to want to create. The description might read, "In loving memory of Bunny. See you over the Rainbow Bridge."

9) The Feather: I imagine this as a display case item (minus the little dude, or with him as the display podium). It is described as a feather that fell from a great and never-before-seen bird that flew over the island. It has not been seen since. I imagine this sort of thing could happen in the MML world. I see the feather as golden, but another color would be fine.

10) The Growth of an Onion: I imagine this as a painting. It might be done in the style of a still life. The thing on top is meant to be a butterfly.

Most of my submissions would say "Submitted by a local artist." I really like the idea of the "Love Actually" piece being made by local residents.

Loken: I think this is a really good idea. Best of luck in the competition!
