Description Here's another one for Wolfboi, since he's been such a good sport. Seriously, this guy has been hanging in there for years waiting for me to get my flight training done so I can make a commission for him. I think he's earned a freebie.

Anyhow, here's a concept that he came up with; taking that cool Zero armor from the un-released game Mega Man Online and turning it wolfish! I don't know if this is what he was expecting, but it's what came to my mind, so I hope he likes it for the effort at least.

Urgh, new tablet just about drove me crazy! It gave me so much trouble, I had to uninstall the driver and go back to ol' faithful (my older tablet). I haven't given up on the Intuos5 yet, but I don't think I'm going to work with it if I have serious work to do; it's just too buggy. I will have to experement with it at a later time, when I can afford to goof off. I have no doubt it will teach me a thing or two.

If you take a gander at the top right corner, you'll see some itty-bitty logos. I have to add credit where it's due; I used some custom made brushes from other DA users for the background. The foreground image, with the color, is all me though. Oh, wait, I did use some leaf brushes on the stump, a rock brush on the rock for texture, and I used a Painter X preset for the vines. I should be honest. ^_^

While I'm giving credit:

Zero is of course a trademarked character of Capcom, I can not and do not claim any ownership of his concept or his design. This work is strictly for non-profit and for the eyes of fans completely free of charge. Mega Man Online, and all designs related to or associated, are also property of Capcom and all that stuff you've probably already heard hundreds of times before, blah blah blah, yadda yadda and so hence forth.

This particular concept belongs to the mind of Wolfboi1 here on DA. If you like this idea, go look him up, he has lots of other cool characters in his Gallery!

Art by me. Mostly. You saw those credits, right?

Oh that is freaking AWESOME!!!!

Though I do have to ask...where is his tail?

Just my opinion, but I don't think this Zero needs a tail. Since he has such long hair, it kind of creates a visual illusion that he has one, especially the way I depicted it here, with it being wavy at the points it is. If I gave this a tail, it would actually add unnecessary complexity (not to mention weigh Zero down and make him less sleek).

It's a good catch though! I'm glad you like the illustration, I'm never sure if you're going to like what I do. XD

Oh I love the picture a great deal!  He looks really really awesome!

The tail question was rhetorical anyway...he does not need one what with that long hair of his like you said.  Still, his hair would actually weigh him down a lot more than a tail would as it would only help to improve balance (if we wanted to go with some real world physics) but since we aren't then it does not matter.

I do agree that Zero's in character hair is over the top (really pretty, but over the top) and would weigh him down. I  think the inclusion of it was to make him more flashy, and, as said in MegaMan X Complete Works, to give Zero a different silhouette then X. That was actually very important in the design for the developers.

But on to this: When I was referring to the tail not being necessary, I was talking as if I were to include it in addition to the hair. I would have to agree, if Zero didn't have the hair a tail would be pretty cool on him in this form. Make him more Lycan if nothing else. As for the balance thing, I think we would have to consider the difference of those using four legs as opposed to those using two, as both would have a different center of gravity which would give a tail a different function. Predators like dogs and cheetahs use tails like a rudder to help with turning at high speeds, but I really feel that kind of benefit would be lost on a biped. They can't really have that kind of aerodynamic build to reap that kind of reward, but a tail could benefit in other ways, like a distraction for instance. But I digress! Like you stated, not really important. I'm just happy you like the work done.

I do indeed love the work done.  I also didnt mean to argue with you on any given point after all its only a pic (and a great one at that!).

JetZero In reply to wolfboi1 [2015-05-26 22:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Pffffffft, argue? You will know if I'm arguing, I use much sharper language then that! All I was doing there was attempting to clarify and justify my point of view and explain why I do things, as I like doing so, just to prove I have reasons to my methods. I grab every opportunity I have to explain things.

But anyway, the bottom line is that you like this, as I did this for you! I feel kind of bad for not using the new tablet on it, but it was giving me too many headaches. At least now I can get to work on art I have wanted to do for others, who also have been waiting years!
