Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.

The full lineup of the old Megaman X9 project. Mosquito, Fox and Possum were based on ideas I started when I was around 8, so this stuff is ancient. Hell, I replaced other bosses with Crane, Hermit, Giraffe, Porcupine and Angler because Capcom made the same boss ideas later.

Regardless of what happens, there's a sub-clause that indicates they might use the design for *something* if they find it interesting, despite not winning. So who knows!

It was honestly the reason I suspected it would be immediately rejected, since it could bind them to a stage design they might not be prepared to do. I'm frankly really surprised we're here right now!

One of my jobs is logo design, and it frustrated me to no end that I didn't have time to properly set up a design document for it. So its nice to hear a rushed hand-drawn version still works!

Thank you for all the kind words last night!
I had plans to share screencaps of the official posts regarding Cactus Man's inclusion yesterday, but I've made the desicion not to. The rules about disqualification are too vague. You can still find it as Design Q on the site:

Oh! These look really nice! Axel as well! Enjoying Zero's hair animation and the added flair on the gun spin.
I think I never made an Axel sprite for my lineup because he's implied to be out of comission after X8. Maybe I could give a post-X8 design some thought.

The Legendary Axe concept mockup. Been a while since I made one of these. Research was tough. I have no connection to the game or the turbografx-16 whatsoever, but the final boss being a weird and unsettling merger of confused cavemen held together by an eldric mass was captivating.

There's plenty of potential codenames in the MGS series, though as far as ones that match MMX naming conventions that are from the same game, I think the only ones I could reasonably do are the characters from MGS Ghost Babel. Though it lacks one or two characters to be a full set of 8.

This is a fusion of the two using my own custom sprites I've created for a Megaman X project.

I'm up for it, though I'd want to do something more than just offbrand Megaman. Besides, you can only have so many companies making 'mega boy.' Because of that saturation, I would need to know there's genuine interest in it first.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

The 5 most recent livestreams are now up on my Snakepixel Archive channel. I've added an art timelapse for the latest painting I finished live.
If things go according to plan, I intend to add timelapses for all finished livestream projects moving forward.

Updated the character sprites for this project a few years ago. Tried to hit a sweet-spot between the PSX and SNES look using more of the latter's palette restrictions. X is fully animated and works in some test levels. Maybe I'll demonstrate that some day.
