Description "The heart is what counts, after all" is what X said to Zero in MMZ3. We later find out that Zero's body is only a copy, and that his original body is inside Omega. While facing Omega in his ultimate for, Zero probably thought about what X had said more than once.


This was originally an artwork of the game that I found, but its quality was really poor, so I decided to re-create it. After finishing Omega and Zero (which was a pain to do without a tablet), I decided that their blades looked way too plain if done normally, so I decided to use that effect to make them look more like energy blades (which they are). After that I looked for pictures to make the background, and in the end I used two: one for the ground they are standing and another one for the sea and sky.

I'm actually happy about how it turned out. I don't think I've ever spent so much time on something like this before.

Lineart: 1-2 hours
Coloring: about 3 hours
Background and finishing touches: 30 min-1 hour

I love this. I saw the original works somewhere else and then these. I absolutely love how you touched it up.

I deduce that THIS is what resulted in biometals X Z and W.. from the Megaman ZX and ZX Advent games... Note how much the buster arm shoulder looks like Model X.. and how much the saber arm looks like model Z.. and the rest.. Model W.. THINK ABOUT IT.

That is amazing!! Zero is tiny compared to Omega! I havn't played MMZ3 but that sounds exactly like something X would say. Especially since it's so true!

And to think that this still isn't his strongest form. It's what's on the inside that counts...

Wow, you do the swords justice. The shading is very well rendered and everything looks in place. You should try colring in your own background next time, I'm sure it would turn out great.

Thanks, this certainly took me time and patience.

And congrats for winning the contests!! That was really a great drawing, and it's actually kinda funny that you won while entering half an hour before the dead-line
