Description
Desktop image created for www.harmonyofheroes.net/For those who know me, I'm a huge F-Zero fan and if you didn't know that already... I hope it's painfully obvious now! This was one of the most elaborate things I've ever worked on, I havent taken on crazy composition blending mash up before this so this is a new milestone for me, so much of time went into thinking on what I want to convey and it's changed a lot from start to finish!

The musician who's doing the rocking F-Zero cover for the album. vomitron665.bandcamp.com/album…
And the guy who got everyone together to create a smash-bros tribute, the main force behind www.shinesparkers.net/
Fall will be a hard wait for the music as it has a lot of great variety...
but you can check out all of the awesome artwork from the others in the meantime

That looks amazing. I especially love how it sort of all wraps around like that, like in the games. All the colors are so vibrant as well.
I loved F-Zero X on N64. The OST, gameplay, even the 60 fps (a rarity on that console, I think). I still have F-Zero GX on GC, but I didn't have much of a heavy feeling to that one for some reason...
Though I think it would be terrifying and cool at once to be piloting one of those machines. lol

I've noticed how you threw in references to virtually every F-Zero title. The giant skull is from F-ZERO X's Devil's Forest, a few tracks from GX. On the bottom right, I see one of those nameless machines from the original F-ZERO. And to the top left, is that the Dragon-Bird from GP-Legend?

Great job !
It's the best F-Zero fan made image i ever seen,
and i know what i say 'cause i'm working on a F-Zero card game, so i looked for a lot of illustrations on the web.
In this picture we can feel the tension of a F-Zero racing, and you have integrated all the F-Zero X caracters (i think, i didn't really checked ^^) and most of the F-Zero worlds. The gathering of all these elements gives a psychedelic feeling, typically the F-Zero spirit !

Hey, is it cool if I use this for a cover of Fire Field i'm making? I will of course credit you and give a link to your account.
Thanks

Cover of Fire Field? I approve, there's really very little F-Zero remakes outside of Mutecity and Bigblue for the 1000th time.
Make sure to link me to your remix when you're finished!

I remember my brothers and I played F-Zero X frequently our favorite racers were Octoman, Bio-Rex and Samurai Goro. The music from that game was also epic as hell.

X definitely had sweet music! The rivalry we had with friends was Bio-Rex, Baba, Goroh but mainly it was me and my brother in both Fire Stingrays.

If they make a new F-Zero I'd like it to be more stylized and somewhat inspired by Heavy Metal. Imagine driving through a giant flaming skull as the electric guitars rock out!

I dont think that would be F-Zero anymore, kind of like a Twisted Metal racer instead. I do love me some Twisted Metal though so I'd be all for something crazy like that!

This is a truly majestic tribute to a fantastic racing series. I don't know how the claim of having no new ideas can be justified when Mario Kart doesn't really do very much different each time (and knocked off F-Zero in Mario Kart 8), on top of being a less enjoyable series. F-Zero needs much more love.

Nintendo being Nintendo, they have a weird work philosophy for sequels. I don't need more gimmicks for different playstyles just give me some sweet new track designs from the masters at EAD!

Indeed. They can't worry about things not being an improvement or not adding much, look at all the Mario Party sequels...

Way. too. many. mario parties... I had a lot of fun with it until 3 but after that it's like really? again huh. Just a biiiiit over saturated.

The sad part is, I think 10 is lame but it's the only one out of the entire console series that doesn't hate my guts. DS is also refreshingly nice to me.

Amazing work! THIS Is what future F-Zero games should be inspired by.

I wish! It kills me that there's still no new F-Zero since GX.

One of your best works so far, seriously. Great work, man.

My brother said the same, thanks dude! I'll post up the other smaller stuff for smash bros in a couple days or so. First I gotta get the word out about the project

Thanks dude! F-Zero has too little representation even more so than Secret of Mana, so this is my way of dumping a mountain of F-zero references to look at.

Yes, i always hope a new f-zero too.
It'S been a long time since Climax and GX/AX

Its been TOO long, give me a new f-zero nintendo! you dont need to make a new gimmick for every sequel geeze. People would buy it just for F-zero online alone
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JUst a new f-zero would be a pleasure.

I recognize SNES Sand Ocean on the top ! Also, I see Aeropolis Multiplex on the top right corner. Nice piece of artwork !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You got it, those are definitely Sand Ocean and Aeropolis. Aero was my brother's request, I looked at all of the F-Zero material and pulled something from pretty much every source! Curious to see if people will be able to call out all of the representations

I meant Time Rank D:

I remember thinking about how some of the fossils in Sand Ocean SNES's background looked like Omastar from Pokémon (a snail-like shell with spikes). Aeropolis Multiplex is one of my faves tracks in GX, due to it having a good mix of straight-line, turns and healing strips.
Speaking of GX, the F-Zero Central is aiming to try and defeat most of the Staff Ghosts with all the machines. If you want to see what has already been done, here's the link : docs.google.com/spreadsheet/cc…
There are 41 playable machines in the game, with 26 tracks. This makes 1066 ghosts to beat, and 959 of them have been beaten. To see which machines had the best total time out of every other (including the Staff Ghost itself), check the "Rank Summary" tab.
Have fun watching those performances.
