Description
Three weeks in the Making for this 30x40 inch painting. Has some 85 colors (not over 100 as previously advertised as I removed something that I felt later to clutter the scene), 32,000 pixels, and 100 hours.This is the scene where X is about to be killed by Vile and Zero comes in and saves his neck! Zero then gives X the speech about his potential and how he will one day surpass even Zero himself. Great opening scene that helped rope me right into the game.

That is a scene that has been etched into my mind since 1994.

One fifth of an inch wide and slightly longer vertically (not sure the metric equivalent)

1 fifth of an inch... wow thats pretty hardcore.
I'm currently doing a pixel painting of Kefka (boss version) and I'm doing it on a canas that is 40 inches by 30 and my squares 5mm...
Its a pretty daunting task and this is my first pixel painting, Took me forever to grid out the whole thing- but its pretty cool to paint. I love the fact that its slowly coming together- can't wait to get more of it done- I reckon it'll take a month to paint so expect an upload end of june!

while most gamers can brag about growing up on atari and original NES, this scene right here was what i was privileged to grow up on.

wow 1000?
You should auction these on the internet, I'm sure you'd get more than that.
Your work is amazing, you're an inspiration actually.

X 1. My favorite Megaman game of all time. And here you have it, such a cool scene, hand-painted and ready to be put on a wall!
Incredible...

Woah o.o
I might have to get you to do another piece from Mega Man X for myself. A nice wall hanging or something.

be happy to. Send an email with what you want and a approximate size. I warn there will be a wait tho lol.

This is amazing. I thought this was just a screen grab at first until I read the description and saw the W.I.P in the scraps section. How exactly did you go about setting this piece up to keep the pixels aligned? Being a huge game enthusiast I'd be interested in making one myself.

Well, I should warn you of Pandora's Box here. Once you begin the fruitful and very fulfilling process you'll be hooked. I'll send you a note on how to make em.

Hey There. Seriously, you have killer skills. I am blown away. I have always wanted to do an eggplant wizard in this style, but I had no idea how to go about it. If you still had it, or wouldn't mind, I would be more than super greatful to hear about how you make these masterpieces.
Thanks!

Great work. Thats probably one of my fav stages from the whole game.
I can see the effort put into this. My hat is off to you!

wow that's incredible o.o I dunno how you can came with all these masterpieces!

Oh, wow... I was trying to figure out what game would be awesome enough to inspire you to do 85 colors and 100 hours... Megaman X... that is a good answer...
And good choice to nix the ship thing... this piece is very well centered and an extra ship would have been a burdon, not to mention make it off-balance, great job...

Nah this was something for myself so to speak. Yeah, there was a ship above them about to pick Vile (the purple dude) up. No matter how I placed it it seemed to "squash" the whole image.
I'm having some trouble coming up with a price to sell this. If I were to give an estimate, I'd have to say it would be from 850 to 1000. But truth be told I don't want to sell it! I was pondering the idea of getting a gallery together if possible. Can't say I'd have a clue how to make that come to fruition though :\ .
π: 0 β©: 1
I know what you mean, I've never sold anything and I'm not sure whether I'd really like to either. I always feel rather attached to my drawings after spending a lot of hours on them, and I think I'd really need the money to part with them. When I first read the 850 to 1000 it sounded a bit much in my head, but after thinking a bit it came clear to me that a price of $1000 would mean that you have worked for only $10 an hour. I know that this is not exactly the same as work and I don't know if you have a thing in the US such as a minimum wage. In the UK $10 an hour would be roughly the minimum wage, while in Norway it would be half the minimum wage. I think my best advice would be to keep it for yourself at least until you become a bit more known. I think it would be a bit difficult to sell it at a decent price at this point in time, you know, a price that makes it worth the labor and doesn't give you the uncomfortable feeling of being used. A gallery would not be a bad idea, you might need a bit more paintings though? I'm sure there are possibilities for you to share a gallery with other artists, but what you also could do is to ask around in museums if you could display some of your work there for, say, a month.

Wow, this is your best one yet. I must say you've inspired me to make my own "scene" now.

How long is a while... its been months!!
π: 0 β©: 1
the "Scene" one won't happen... FOR A WHILE
I'm in grad school right now, no time for anything, really.
I have, actually, started on another one though, which might be done by the end of the month. Stay tuned.
